Found mold causing sickness; doctor first or removal?« Back to Previous Page

The situation you've described in your Jumeirah home is a serious health and safety concern that requires immediate and professional attention. The black mold, likely exacerbated by Dubai's high humidity and condensation from continuous AC use, is a probable cause of your children's persistent respiratory issues.

You should absolutely take your family to a doctor first. Inform the physician about the mold exposure, as prolonged inhalation of mycotoxins can cause or severely aggravate chronic coughing, allergies, and asthma. A medical evaluation is crucial to address the health symptoms.

Do not attempt to remove this yourself. Disturbing the mold will aerosolize the spores, drastically increasing their concentration in your indoor air and potentially making the health problems worse. The "fastest way" to get this tested and remediated is to engage a certified professional mold inspection company like Saniservice. Our experts will conduct a comprehensive assessment, including air quality and surface sampling to identify the mold species and the full extent of the contamination, which often spreads behind walls.

The remediation process we follow is rigorous and aligned with international standards: we begin with full containment of the area using negative air pressure chambers, safely remove all contaminated materials, employ HEPA filtration scrubbers to clean the air, and use professional-grade antimicrobial agents to treat the area and prevent recurrence. We also identify and rectify the source of the moisture—in this case, likely condensation on the window frame—to ensure the problem is solved permanently.

For immediate assistance with testing and safe, guaranteed removal, I strongly advise you to call our hotline at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an emergency inspection.
