Should I hire professionals to dehumidify my closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we had last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my bedroom closet. The walls seem to be retaining more moisture than usual, even though I haven't used it much since moving in two years ago. Should I consider hiring professionals to dehumidify the area or could this just be something that will resolve on its own?

Absolutely, given the conditions in dubai and the recent heavy rains your situation sounds quite serious. The persistent dampness you're experiencing can lead to a variety of issues from structural damage to mold growth. It's prudent to take action now rather than waiting for it to resolve on its own.

In the uae, particularly in dubai, high humidity levels are common due to our climate and proximity to water bodies. This environment makes us more susceptible to moisture-related problems. According to the building code and regulations of the emirate of dubai, maintaining a relative humidity level between 40% and 60% is ideal for both comfort and preservation of materials.

Given that you've noticed an increase in moisture retention within your closet walls, it's crucial to address this issue promptly. The walls may be absorbing more moisture than usual due to the recent rains, leading to condensation on surfaces and potentially creating a breeding ground for mold.

It’s recommended to hire professional services for dehumidification of your closet area. Saniservice, with their expertise in environmental inspection and remediation, can provide you with a thorough assessment of the situation. Their team will use advanced equipment such as thermohygrometers and moisture meters to determine the exact humidity levels within your closet.

Proper dehumidification involves more than just using a standard household dehumidifier; it requires understanding the source of the moisture, ensuring adequate ventilation, and possibly installing moisture barriers in the walls. Saniservice can offer solutions such as air purifiers, dehumidifiers, or even encapsulation methods to prevent further moisture intrusion.

Additionally, they will provide you with a detailed report outlining their findings and recommendations for long-term management of humidity levels within your home. This is particularly important in dubai where the climate conditions are highly variable and can exacerbate existing issues if not properly managed.

If you decide against professional services, it’s essential to monitor the situation closely. Regularly check for signs of mold or structural damage and ensure good air circulation through open windows during cooler periods when possible. However, this approach is less effective in addressing the root cause and may lead to recurring problems.

In conclusion, while monitoring and minor adjustments can be helpful, professional intervention is strongly recommended given the specific conditions in dubai and your current situation.
