How to get mold inspection in Dubai for asthma?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been coughing non-stop since the heavy rains in Al Barsha last month, and we just found a patch of black, fuzzy mold behind their bedroom wardrobe. I'm really worried about their health, especially my youngest who has asthma. What's the best way to get a proper mold inspection done here to make sure our whole villa is safe?

Given the recent heavy rains in Al Barsha and your children's respiratory distress, your concern is absolutely valid. The high humidity and condensation issues prevalent in Dubai's climate, exacerbated by year-round AC use, create an ideal breeding ground for mold. The black, fuzzy growth behind the wardrobe is a significant red flag, indicating a moisture problem that likely extends beyond the visible area, possibly into the wall cavity.
For a case involving asthma, a professional inspection is not just recommended; it is essential. Do not attempt to disturb the mold yourself, as this will aerosolize spores and drastically worsen the air quality, posing a serious risk to your youngest child. A proper inspection by a certified company like Saniservice involves more than a visual assessment. Our certified technicians conduct a comprehensive evaluation that includes using moisture meters to detect hidden dampness, thermal imaging cameras to identify cold spots and condensation risks, and air and surface sampling. This sampling is crucial—it is sent to an accredited laboratory to identify the specific species of mold (e.g., Aspergillus, Penicillium, Cladosporium) and quantify the spore concentration in the air your family is breathing. This data is vital for assessing the health risk and formulating an effective remediation plan, all conducted in accordance with best practices for indoor environmental quality. Given the health symptoms, you should act immediately. For a thorough, professional inspection and detailed laboratory report to ensure your villa is safe, I strongly advise you to contact our specialists.
