How to find a mold inspection company in Jumeirah?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been coughing non-stop for the past month and we can't figure out why. I've started getting headaches myself, and we've all been feeling tired. I just pulled out a storage box from the corner of our master bedroom in Jumeirah and found a huge patch of black mold on the wall behind it, which must have been growing for ages. How do I find a proper mold inspection company here that can tell me how bad it is and if it's causing our health issues?

Look for a company that offers a comprehensive indoor environmental assessment, not just a basic visual check. In Dubai's climate, hidden mold behind walls or in AC units is common due to high humidity and condensation, so the inspection must include moisture mapping and air quality testing.

A credible inspector will perform a visual assessment, use a thermal imaging camera to find hidden moisture, and take air and surface samples for lab analysis. The final report should identify the mold species and concentration levels, which is essential for understanding potential health impacts and planning proper remediation. Avoid any company that offers to both inspect and remediate the same job, as this is a conflict of interest; the inspector should be independent.

Verify the company holds a valid DHA (Dubai Health Authority) permit for environmental testing. Ask if their final report includes data from an accredited microbiology lab, as this provides the scientific evidence needed to connect the mold to your family's symptoms. In Jumeirah, with its older villa constructions, the inspection should specifically check for rising damp and leaks in concealed plumbing, which are frequent culprits.
