Who treats black mold in Dubai for asthma?« Back to Previous Page
|
We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed a patch of black mold in the corner of our master bedroom closet, behind all the clothes. It's on the wall that faces the outside, and it feels slightly damp. I'm really worried because my husband's asthma has been acting up lately. What's the fastest way to get this professionally treated and who should I call in Dubai to make sure it doesn't come back?

Look for a Dubai-based indoor environmental professional or a mold remediation company certified by the Dubai Municipality. They are trained to handle asthma-aggravating mold safely. The key is finding a provider that does more than just wipe the visible spot; they must identify and correct the moisture source to prevent recurrence.
Given the wall feels damp and faces outside, the issue is likely condensation from the temperature differential between the air-conditioned room and the hot exterior wall, a very common problem here. A proper inspection should include a moisture meter reading on that wall to confirm this. The fastest, most effective treatment for an asthma sufferer is source removal by professionals using containment (like plastic sheeting) and HEPA filtration to prevent spores from spreading throughout the home during cleaning. They should also apply a antimicrobial treatment to the area. Crucially, they must provide a clearance test or post-remediation verification to confirm the spore count in the room has returned to a safe level. For long-term prevention, ask them to assess your room's ventilation and relative humidity levels. Keeping indoor humidity below 60% is critical in our climate, and sometimes a dedicated dehumidifier is necessary. |
