Could mold be causing these issues? Safe for my family?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell and some dark spots on the walls of our bedroom. The AC in my apartment seems to be running more than usual too. Could this be due to mold, and is it safe for my family?

The symptoms you're describing could very well be indicative of mold growth within your apartment. Mold thrives in damp and humid conditions, which is quite common after heavy rainfall events, especially here in the UAE where we experience such weather changes.
Mold can indeed produce a musty smell and dark spots on walls, particularly in areas prone to moisture like bathrooms or kitchens. Additionally, increased AC usage might indicate that the interior environment has become less efficient at managing humidity levels, which could be a sign of excessive mold growth. Mold spores can easily spread through air conditioning systems, exacerbating the issue. In terms of safety for your family, it's crucial to address any potential mold issues promptly. Exposure to mold can lead to respiratory problems, allergic reactions, and in some cases, more severe health effects, especially among children, elderly individuals, or those with compromised immune systems. Given the specific conditions you've described and considering our UAE climate, I strongly recommend calling 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) for a professional inspection. At this stage, without a proper assessment, it's hard to determine the exact extent of mold growth or its impact on your apartment. However, early detection can prevent further damage and ensure that necessary remediation measures are taken quickly to protect both health and property.
