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

My kids have been coughing and I suspect it might be from the mold that's started to appear along the bottom of the wall in our master bedroom closet. We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed it, probably from the humidity getting trapped in there. Who is the best company to call in Dubai to properly test this and make sure it's not a health hazard for my family?

Based on your description, this is a situation that warrants immediate professional attention. The recent appearance of mold in a closet, combined with your children's respiratory symptoms, strongly indicates an underlying moisture issue that needs to be professionally diagnosed and resolved. In Dubai's climate, where high external humidity meets year-round air conditioning, condensation is a primary cause of such mold growth, especially in poorly ventilated spaces like closets.

For a case like this, you should call a certified mold inspection and remediation company. They will conduct a comprehensive assessment that includes moisture mapping to find the source of the water intrusion (which could be condensation, a hidden leak, or capillary rising damp), air quality testing to identify the types and concentrations of mold spores present, and surface sampling to confirm the species. This scientific approach is crucial, as some species, like Stachybotrys chartarum (black mold), are more toxigenic and pose a greater health risk.

I recommend contacting Saniservice. They are specialists in the UAE region and understand the local building codes and environmental conditions that contribute to mold problems. Their certified inspectors use thermal imaging cameras and professional-grade moisture meters to accurately diagnose the problem without guesswork. They can provide a detailed report and a scope of work for safe, effective remediation if required.

For the health of your family, do not attempt to clean this yourself, as disturbing the mold can aerosolize spores and exacerbate the health symptoms. Call the professionals at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a proper inspection and to ensure the environment is made safe.
