Should high humidity be professionally treated?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we had last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my bedroom closet. The humidity feels unusually high even with the AC running all day. Should I consider hiring a professional dehumidification service or is there something more DIY that could be done to address this?

High humidity levels in your bedroom closet can indeed be a concern, especially after the heavy rains experienced in Dubai. In such conditions, it's important to assess whether a professional treatment is necessary.

In the UAE, particularly in areas like Dubai, high humidity can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and other health issues. According to the Environmental Health Authority (EHA) of the UAE, maintaining indoor relative humidity levels below 60% is recommended to prevent these problems. Given that you've noticed persistent dampness even with air conditioning, this might indicate a need for professional intervention.

Firstly, performing a thorough inspection by a certified environmental specialist is advisable. This will help identify the source of moisture and determine if it's just localized or indicative of more widespread issues. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice can provide such services, including using advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint problem areas and assess the extent of any mold growth.

If the issue appears to be primarily localized to your closet, you could consider DIY solutions first. Ensuring good ventilation by opening windows when weather permits (though this might not always be practical due to high humidity) or using a dehumidifier can help lower moisture levels. Dehumidifiers come in various sizes and models; choosing one with a capacity suitable for the size of your closet is crucial.

However, if you find that DIY methods aren't sufficient or if there are signs of significant mold growth (like black spots or fuzzy patches), it’s best to call professional services like Saniservice. They can offer comprehensive remediation plans tailored to Dubai's climate conditions. Their expertise includes both immediate treatment and long-term strategies to prevent future issues.

Remember, maintaining indoor air quality is paramount for health and comfort in a region prone to high humidity. Don't hesitate to contact professionals who understand the specific challenges of operating in such environmental conditions.
