Who to call for mold inspection in Discovery Gardens?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been coughing non-stop for the past month, especially after they've been playing in their bedroom. I've lived in this Discovery Gardens apartment for years, but I just noticed a bunch of black spots spreading along the wall behind their wardrobe. Who can I call for a proper mold inspection to see if this is what's making them sick?

For a situation like this with visible growth and health symptoms, you need a professional indoor environmental consultant or a certified mold inspector. Avoid general AC cleaning companies, as their goal is often cleaning, not the independent diagnosis you require.

Look for a provider that conducts a full assessment, including moisture mapping with a thermal camera to find the source and air sampling to identify spore types and counts. In Dubai's climate, the wall behind a wardrobe is a classic spot for condensation and mold growth due to restricted airflow, especially if it's an exterior wall. The persistent cough in your children is a significant indicator that this needs professional attention.

Any reputable inspector should provide a detailed report with lab results from an accredited microbiology lab, which is essential for understanding the specific risk and guiding any necessary remediation. You can verify a company's credibility by asking if their inspectors hold certifications like CMC or CMI, which are global standards for this field.
