Black mold in bedroom: reliable removal company in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
The AC in our bedroom in our Jumeirah villa has been leaking a bit, and now we've found a patch of black mold in the corner behind the wardrobe. My husband has had a constant stuffy nose and a cough that won't go away for over a month, and I'm starting to worry it's connected. Who is the most reliable company in Dubai to do a proper mold inspection and removal, and should we see a specific type of doctor about his symptoms first?

The black mold behind your wardrobe is a serious concern, especially given the AC leak and your husband's symptoms, which are classic indicators of mold-related irritation. Dubai's high humidity and constant AC use create ideal conditions for mold growth when condensation issues are present.
For a reliable inspection, you need a company with a certified mold inspector (CMI or equivalent) and, crucially, its own microbiology lab. This allows them to identify the exact species on-site and determine the appropriate remediation protocol, rather than just guessing. Saniservice operates to this standard, but any provider you contact should be able to immediately confirm their certification and lab capabilities. The inspection should include air and surface sampling to map the spore count throughout your villa. Remediation is not a simple cleaning; it requires isolating the area, using HEPA filtration to capture spores, and removing contaminated materials. Proper companies will provide a detailed scope of work and post-remediation verification testing to prove the environment has been returned to a safe baseline. For your husband's persistent cough and congestion, consulting a doctor is advised. An allergist or pulmonologist can perform specific tests to determine if his symptoms are an allergic reaction to mold exposure. |
