How to get a mold inspection for AC leak?« Back to Previous Page

Based on your description of a recurring AC leak, visible black spots on leather, and a persistent damp smell, you are correct to suspect mold growth, likely within the wall cavity. The climate in Dubai, with its high humidity and year-round reliance on AC systems, creates a perfect environment for mold when a moisture source like a leak is present. Wiping visible spots is a temporary measure but does not address the hidden colony or the root cause.

For a proper inspection, you need a professional assessment. In the UAE, reputable companies like ours follow a strict protocol. This begins with a visual inspection to identify the leak source and visible mold. We then use advanced tools such as moisture meters to quantify dampness in walls and flooring, and thermal imaging cameras to pinpoint concealed water damage and mold growth behind surfaces without invasive measures. Air and surface sampling are often conducted to identify the specific mold species and spore concentration levels in the air, which is crucial for determining the appropriate remediation strategy and ensuring it meets indoor air quality standards.

Given that the mold is likely inside the wall, a DIY approach is insufficient and can disturb spores, causing wider contamination. We strongly recommend you contact a certified professional immediately to prevent further damage to your property and potential health issues.
