Should I clean this mold myself or call a pro?« Back to Previous Page

Hello there! Firstly, I’d like to commend your proactive approach towards addressing the issue. However, given the circumstances and considering the potential health impacts of mold, it's crucial to handle this situation carefully and responsibly.

In Dubai/UAE, due to the unique climate conditions, we often see higher humidity levels which can contribute to mold growth. The dark spots on the wall near your light switch in the bedroom closet could be a sign of hidden mold, which is indeed concerning. Mold spores can spread easily through air currents or water damage and can lead to various health issues such as respiratory problems, allergies, and even asthma.

Firstly, it’s important to assess the extent of the problem before deciding on your next steps. Hidden mold inspections are highly specialized, especially in areas where they may not be visibly apparent but could pose significant risks. Given that you’ve noticed a musty smell and some dark spots, it would be prudent to call for professional assistance.

Our company, Saniservice, offers comprehensive mold inspection services tailored specifically for the UAE market, including Dubai. Our team uses advanced tools such as moisture meters, thermography cameras, and air quality testing kits to identify hidden mold growth that might not be visible with the naked eye. We can also provide detailed reports on the extent of contamination and recommend appropriate remediation procedures.

Here’s what you should do:

1. Do Not Touch or Clean: Avoid touching the affected area as this could spread spores further. Do not attempt to clean it yourself unless you are fully equipped for the job, which includes wearing protective clothing such as gloves and masks.

2. Ventilate the Area: Ensure good ventilation by opening windows if possible, but avoid using fans that might circulate mold spores throughout your home.

3. Call Professionals: Contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule a professional inspection and remediation. Our team will provide you with the necessary services, ensuring that the mold is removed safely and effectively while minimizing disruption to your home.

4. Take Note of Symptoms: If you or any family members are experiencing symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, headaches, or other respiratory issues, consult a healthcare provider immediately, as these could be signs of mold-related health effects.

5. Preventive Measures: Post-remediation, consider implementing moisture control measures to prevent future occurrences. This includes fixing leaks promptly and using dehumidifiers in areas prone to moisture buildup.

Remember, hidden mold can have serious implications for your health and the structural integrity of your home. It’s always best to err on the side of caution and call in professionals who are equipped with the right tools and expertise. We’re here to help, so don’t hesitate to reach out!
