Should I worry about the spots on my wall?« Back to Previous Page
|
Since moving into our new flat two years ago, we’ve had this strange issue with a small corner of the living room wall. It’s only that one spot and it never really bothered us until recently when I noticed some minor peeling of the paint and what looks like very tiny, dark spots forming on the surface. It doesn’t seem too bad yet, but I’m not sure if this is just a cosmetic issue or something more serious that needs addressing. Do you think I can handle it myself or should I call in an expert?

The issue you're describing sounds quite interesting and requires some level of assessment to ensure it doesn't become more serious. First off, the dark spots combined with peeling paint could indicate a few possibilities - ranging from minor cosmetic concerns to something much more complex like mold growth. In dubai, we have specific regulations regarding indoor environmental quality which include the presence and management of potential contaminants such as molds.
In your case, given that it's only a small spot in one corner of the living room wall, it might be prudent not to jump straight into calling an expert, but rather do some preliminary investigations. Start by trying to determine if there is any excess moisture in this area - high humidity or dampness could indeed lead to mold growth. Examine for signs such as musty odors, discoloration, and whether the spots seem larger over time. If you observe any of these signs, it would be wise to consult a professional. In dubai, companies like saniservice.com offer specialized services including mold inspections and remediation that comply with uae standards. Their expertise can help in identifying if this issue is indeed due to molds or something else entirely. Remember, although mold issues are common, not all spots on walls are necessarily caused by molds. However, given the UAE's warm climate and potential for higher humidity levels especially during summer months, it’s always better to be cautious. Should you decide to proceed with an inspection, ensure that the service provider is certified and follows local guidelines. They can use specialized tools like moisture meters or thermal imaging cameras to assess the condition of your walls accurately. In summary, while you may attempt some basic checks, professional evaluation would provide peace of mind and accurate diagnosis. If you're still unsure or notice any worsening conditions, reaching out to saniservice.com could be beneficial. They can offer guidance tailored to dubai’s climate and environmental standards, ensuring that whatever the issue is gets addressed appropriately. |
