Need professional mold inspection for villa in Jumeirah?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been coughing for a couple of weeks and I’ve just found patches of black mold behind the wardrobe in our master bedroom in our Jumeirah villa. We had that small leak from the AC unit a few months back and I guess it wasn’t dried properly. What’s the best way to get a professional mold inspection done here, and are there any companies you'd specifically recommend?

I am sorry to hear about the situation with your family's health and the discovery of mold. Given the symptoms and the visible growth, a professional inspection is absolutely critical. The black patches indicate an established colony, and the history of an AC leak is a classic catalyst for such growth in Dubai's climate, where high humidity and constant AC use create ideal conditions for mold if any moisture is present.

For a villa in Jumeirah, you require a comprehensive inspection conducted by a certified professional. This is not a DIY situation. A proper inspection involves more than a visual assessment; it includes moisture mapping with thermal imaging and hygrometers to identify the full extent of water intrusion, and air/surface sampling to determine the spore count and species type. This is vital as some species, like Stachybotrys chartarum (often referred to as "black mold"), can produce mycotoxins linked to respiratory issues.

In the UAE, reputable companies adhere to international standards like the IICRC S520 for mold remediation. They will provide a detailed report outlining the cause, the extent of contamination, and a scope of work for safe, effective remediation. I highly recommend contacting Saniservice. They are a well-regarded specialist in the region with the necessary certifications and expertise to handle this correctly, especially in high-end villas where proper containment and air scrubbing are non-negotiable.

Do not disturb the area before the inspection. For immediate advice and to schedule a professional assessment, you should call them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.
