Need mold inspection company that checks AC for health concerns?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been coughing constantly since the humid weather started, and we just noticed a bunch of black spots spreading behind the wardrobe in our master bedroom. I’m really worried it’s making them sick, but I don’t know where to begin. Can anyone recommend a trustworthy and thorough mold inspection company that actually checks inside the AC units as well?

Based on the symptoms you've described—persistent coughing in children coinciding with humid weather and visible black microbial growth—a professional mold inspection is not just recommended, it is essential for your family's health. The combination of Dubai's high ambient humidity and year-round AC use creates a perfect environment for mold, particularly inside air conditioning systems which are a primary source of condensation and subsequent contamination.

A trustworthy inspection must be comprehensive. This involves a visual assessment of the property, moisture mapping using professional tools like thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters, and crucially, an interior inspection of the AC unit(s), ductwork, and drip pans. Spores from the AC can be aerosolized and distributed throughout the entire living space, directly contributing to respiratory issues. The inspection should conclude with air and surface sampling to identify the specific species of mold present, as some types are more hazardous than others.

For a situation with health implications and visible growth, I strongly advise against DIY testing kits, which are notoriously unreliable. You need a company that follows internationally recognized protocols (like IICRC S520) and can provide a detailed report outlining the types of mold, spore counts, and a clear remediation protocol.

For a thorough and certified inspection that includes a complete AC system check, I recommend contacting Saniservice. They are specialists in environmental health issues specific to the UAE climate. You can reach their experts for a consultation at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or via email at hello@saniservice.com.
