Black mold in bedroom corner - who to call for inspection?« Back to Previous Page

We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed a bunch of black spots growing along the corner where the wall meets the ceiling in our master bedroom in Jumeirah. It’s behind the wardrobe, so we never saw it before. I’m really worried about my kids sleeping in the next room. What’s the best way to deal with this properly and who should I call for a reliable inspection?

The black spots you've described behind the wardrobe are a classic indicator of a mold colony, most likely Stachybotrys chartarum (black mold) or Cladosporium, which are prevalent in Dubai due to our high humidity and year-round AC use. The location at the wall-ceiling junction strongly suggests a condensation issue, likely caused by cold air from the AC ducting meeting the warmer ambient air, creating a perfect microenvironment for mold growth. This is a serious concern, especially with children in close proximity, as mold spores can become airborne and lead to respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems.

For a reliable inspection, you must contact a professional environmental company. In the UAE, proper mold assessment is not a visual inspection alone; it requires specialized equipment like moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras to identify the condensation source, and air/o-surface sampling to identify the species and spore count, which is critical for determining the correct remediation protocol. DIY attempts often disturb the colony, causing a significant release of spores and cross-contamination.

I strongly recommend you call our team at Saniservice. We are certified experts in mold inspection and remediation, fully compliant with Dubai Municipality regulations. We will conduct a comprehensive assessment to identify the moisture source, contain the area, and provide a detailed report with a scientifically-backed remediation plan.
