Should I hire a mold inspector in Dubai for my kids?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been coughing and I suspect it might be mold, as we've lived here for 2 years and just noticed a patch of black spots behind the wardrobe in our master bedroom. With the humidity lately, it seems to be getting worse. Is it worth hiring a professional mold inspection company here in Dubai, and roughly how much should I expect to pay for a two-bedroom apartment in Jumeirah?

Yes, given your children's symptoms and the visible mold growth, a professional inspection is strongly recommended. The combination of Dubai's high humidity and the concealed nature of the growth behind the wardrobe indicates a potential moisture issue that needs to be properly diagnosed.

The persistent cough could be a reaction to mold spores in the air. Since you've found one patch, there is a high likelihood of hidden growth elsewhere, such as inside AC units, behind baseboards, or under carpets, which a professional can locate with moisture meters and thermal imaging. For a two-bedroom apartment, a comprehensive inspection should include the HVAC system, as it is a primary vector for circulating spores throughout the living space.

Costs are variable and depend on the inspection's scope—whether it's visual only or includes air and surface sampling for lab analysis. You can expect the price to reflect the apartment's size and the number of samples taken. Always request a detailed report that includes the types of mold identified and the moisture sources, as this is crucial for any effective remediation plan.
