How to get a proper mold inspection in Deira?« Back to Previous Page

Our AC in the bedroom has been leaking for a while, and I just pulled back the corner of the carpet near the vent to find a patch of black mold underneath. It’s been extra humid in Deira the last few weeks and the smell is getting stronger. What’s the best way to get a proper mold inspection done here to make sure it hasn't spread into the walls?

Given the scenario you've described with the AC leak and visible black mold under the carpet in Deira, a professional mold inspection is absolutely critical. The high humidity levels we are experiencing, combined with the constant condensation from air conditioning systems, create a perfect environment for mold to proliferate, often far beyond the initially visible area.

A proper inspection is not a simple visual check. It requires a certified mold inspector using specialized equipment. The process should include a detailed visual assessment with borescopes to look inside wall cavities and behind baseboards, moisture mapping with non-invasive tools like thermal imaging cameras and penetrating moisture meters to identify all affected areas, and air quality testing with calibrated equipment to determine spore concentration levels and identify the mold species present (e.g., Stachybotrys - "black mold"). This scientific data is essential for developing an effective remediation protocol.

In the UAE, remediation work should adhere to international standards like the IICRC S520. Attempting to handle this yourself can aerosolize the spores, spreading the contamination and posing significant health risks.

For a comprehensive inspection and a detailed report that outlines the full extent of contamination and a scope of work for proper remediation, you must contact a professional environmental company. I recommend reaching out to Saniservice. Their certified experts are equipped to handle this exact situation, ensuring the problem is resolved safely and completely.
