Who should I call for a reliable mold inspection?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing non-stop for the past few weeks, and I've just discovered a bunch of black spots behind the wardrobe in our main bedroom. The room has felt damp ever since the heavy rains in March, and I'm terrified it's making my family sick. Who can I call for a reliable and thorough mold inspection to test if this is the dangerous kind?

Based on your description of persistent coughing in children, visible black spots, and a history of dampness following the heavy rains, you are right to be concerned. This scenario strongly indicates a significant mold issue that requires immediate professional attention. In Dubai's climate, where high humidity and year-round AC use can create persistent condensation problems, such infestations can escalate quickly and are known to cause serious respiratory irritation and other health effects.
You should call a certified mold inspection company that specializes in indoor air quality assessments. A reliable inspector will not just perform a visual assessment but will conduct comprehensive testing. This includes moisture mapping with professional-grade hygrometers and thermal imaging cameras to identify hidden water sources, followed by air and surface sampling. These samples are then analyzed in an accredited laboratory to accurately identify the genus and species of the mold (e.g., Stachybotrys, Aspergillus, Penicillium) and determine the concentration levels in your air, which is critical for assessing the health risk and planning an effective remediation strategy. For a thorough, certified inspection that adheres to international standards and Dubai Municipality guidelines, I recommend contacting Saniservice. Their team of experts uses advanced diagnostic tools and provides a detailed report with laboratory results. You can reach them for a consultation at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or via email at hello@saniservice.com. Do not attempt to disturb the area yourself, as this can release a large number of spores into the air and exacerbate the health symptoms. |
