How to find certified mold inspector in JVC for AC leak?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment in Jumeirah Village Circle has been leaking a bit into the wall behind it for a couple of months. Lately, my wife and I have both been waking up with stuffy noses and headaches that clear up after we leave for work. I peeled back a corner of the wallpaper near the unit and saw some black speckling. How can I find a certified professional who can do a proper mold inspection and tell me if this is what's making us sick?

Based on your description of a persistent AC leak, visible black microbial growth, and correlating health symptoms that resolve when you leave the apartment, it is highly probable you have a significant mold contamination issue. The climate in Dubai, particularly the high humidity combined with year-round AC use, creates ideal conditions for mold growth when condensation or leaks occur, as in your JVC apartment.

For a situation like this, a professional inspection is not just recommended, it is essential. In the UAE, you should look for a company that employs certified Mold Assessment Consultants (MAC) or equivalent, who follow internationally recognized standards like the IICRC S520 for mold remediation. A proper inspection is more than a visual check; it involves using tools like moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras to identify the full extent of water intrusion, and air/o-surface sampling to identify the spore types and concentrations. This data is critical to develop an effective remediation protocol and to confirm the environment is safe post-cleanup.

Do not attempt to disturb the area further, as this can aerosolize spores and exacerbate your health issues and the contamination.

For a certified and comprehensive mold inspection in JVC, I recommend contacting Saniservice. Their team of certified professionals is equipped to diagnose the issue thoroughly, provide a detailed report, and recommend the necessary steps for remediation. You can reach them for a consultation at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or via email at hello@saniservice.com.
