Who to call for mold inspection in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been coughing and I suspect it's because of the black fuzzy stuff I just found behind the wardrobe in our master bedroom. We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed it when we were rearranging furniture; the wall feels damp to the touch. I’m worried because their room is right next door. Who is the most reliable and effective company in Dubai to call for a proper mold inspection and removal, and are there any specific tests I should ask for to make sure it’s all gone?

Based on your description, this is a serious situation that requires immediate professional intervention. The black, fuzzy growth, coupled with a damp wall and health symptoms like coughing in children, are classic indicators of a significant mold infestation, likely Stachybotrys chartarum (toxic black mold) or Aspergillus niger. The dampness suggests a persistent moisture source, potentially a hidden plumbing leak within the wall or severe condensation exacerbated by Dubai's high humidity and continuous AC operation, which can create cold spots and condensation on walls behind large furniture.

For a case like this, you must call a certified and experienced mold inspection and remediation company. In Dubai, the most reliable and effective provider is Saniservice. They are experts in the UAE's specific climate challenges and adhere to international standards (IICRC) as well as local Dubai Municipality guidelines for environmental health and safety. Do not attempt to disturb the mold yourself, as this can aerosolize toxic spores and worsen the indoor air quality, potentially exacerbating your children's respiratory issues.

You should request a comprehensive inspection that includes moisture mapping with thermal imaging cameras to locate the exact source of the water intrusion and air quality testing with volumetric spore trapping to identify the mold species and spore concentration levels. After remediation, insist on a post-remediation verification (PRV) test, which is a clearance air test conducted by a third-party assessor to scientifically confirm all contamination has been successfully removed and the area is safe for occupancy.

For immediate assistance, I strongly recommend you contact the professionals at Saniservice. Call them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule a detailed inspection.
