Black mold in bedroom: who to call in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed a bunch of black spots spreading along the corner of our bedroom wall behind the wardrobe, especially after this last humid period. My throat has been feeling a bit scratchy in the mornings and I'm starting to worry. What's the most reliable way to get a proper mold inspection done in Dubai, and should I call a specialized company or will my building's maintenance handle this?

Based on the symptoms you've described—visible black spots concentrated in a corner and a scratchy throat—this is a significant indoor air quality concern that warrants immediate professional attention. In Dubai's climate, the combination of high ambient humidity and year-round air conditioning creates ideal conditions for mold proliferation, particularly in concealed, poorly ventilated areas like behind furniture. This is a common issue in many buildings here.
Your building's maintenance team is responsible for the structure's exterior and common areas, but an internal mold issue within your specific unit, especially one potentially affecting health, requires a specialized environmental inspection. A professional assessment involves more than a visual check; it includes moisture mapping with thermal imaging to find the water source, humidity and temperature logging, and most critically, air and surface sampling to identify the species and concentration of mold spores. This scientific analysis is essential, as what appears as "black mold" could be one of several species, each with different health implications. Attempting to resolve this without proper identification and containment protocols can inadvertently spread spores throughout your home. For a reliable and comprehensive inspection that adheres to UAE environmental health and safety standards, I strongly recommend contacting a certified specialist.
