Where to get a proper mold inspection in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing nonstop since the humidity spiked last month, and I just found a patch of black spots behind the wardrobe in our master bedroom in our Jumeirah villa. It’s a corner room that doesn’t get much sun. What’s the best way to get a proper mold inspection done here to make sure it’s not spreading somewhere we can’t see?

Look for a certified indoor environmental professional or a company with its own microbiology lab for a proper inspection. The visible patch behind your wardrobe is a significant indicator, but in Dubai's humid climate with year-round AC use, mold frequently grows inside wall cavities and ductwork where it's not visible. A thorough inspection involves more than a visual check; it includes moisture mapping with thermal cameras and humidity readings to find the source.
The inspector should take surface and air samples for lab analysis to identify the specific mold type and spore concentration in your indoor air compared to the outdoors. This is crucial for understanding the potential health impact on your family, especially with the symptoms you described. Always request a detailed report that includes the lab findings, not just a verbal summary. Avoid companies that offer immediate remediation without this diagnostic testing first. The goal is to pinpoint all affected areas to ensure the remediation plan is comprehensive and actually solves the problem, rather than just cleaning what you can see. A proper inspection is the only way to get a clear picture of the extent of the issue and what steps are needed to resolve it. |
