Need mold inspection for kids' room in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been coughing non-stop for the past month, and I’ve just found patches of black spots behind the wardrobe in their bedroom. We live in an older villa in Al Barsha, and I’m really worried it’s mold, especially with the humidity from the AC. Can anyone recommend a reliable and thorough mold inspection company that can check the entire room and give us a clear report?

Black spots behind furniture in an older Al Barsha villa, combined with persistent coughing, strongly indicate a need for professional mold inspection. The high humidity here, especially when AC units cycle on and off, creates ideal conditions for mold growth in hidden areas like wall cavities and under flooring.

A thorough inspection involves more than a visual check. A reputable company will use a moisture meter to detect dampness inside walls and an infrared camera to identify temperature differences caused by hidden water leaks. For a definitive answer, air and surface sampling sent to an accredited microbiology lab is essential. This identifies the mold species and concentration, which dictates the proper remediation method.

Look for a provider that offers a comprehensive report with lab findings and a clear scope of work. This is critical, as improper removal can spread spores and worsen the problem. In Dubai, remediation should follow standards like the IICRC S520 to ensure it's addressed safely and completely.
