Need mold inspection company recommendation in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed a patch of black spots growing behind the wardrobe in our master bedroom in Jumeirah. It's been incredibly humid the last few weeks and the room has felt damp. I'm worried it's spreading because my husband has started sneezing a lot in the mornings. Can anyone recommend a reliable and thorough mold inspection company that can also advise on the root cause?

The black spots behind your wardrobe in Jumeirah are a classic sign of condensation mould, extremely common here due to our high humidity and constant AC use creating cold surfaces. Your husband's morning sneezing is a strong indicator the spores are becoming airborne.
For a reliable inspection, you need a company that does more than just a visual check. Look for one that uses a moisture meter to find the exact dampness level in the wall and an infrared camera to detect hidden cold spots (thermal bridges) behind the wardrobe. The root cause is likely poor insulation or an AC unit set too cold, causing condensation on that wall. Any reputable inspector should provide a written report detailing the mould type (via lab analysis of a tape lift sample), the precise moisture source, and a remediation protocol. In Dubai, many companies offer "free inspections" that are just leads for expensive remediation; a legitimate, science-driven assessment has a fee because it involves proper diagnostic tools and analysis. Ask if their final report includes data from a certified microbiology lab to identify the species, as this determines the necessary cleanup steps. This diagnostic approach is what separates a thorough inspection from a simple visual confirmation. |
