Could mold be making us sick?« Back to Previous Page

Could mold be making us sick? Yes, it is quite plausible. Mold can indeed cause a range of health issues such as respiratory problems, allergies, and even some cases suggest connections to neurological symptoms. The greenish spots you've noticed on the walls could very well be signs of mold growth, especially given the recent heavy rain in your area.

In the UAE, particularly Dubai, humidity levels can fluctuate significantly due to seasonal changes and climate control systems within buildings. Mold thrives in damp environments with relative humidity over 60%. The symptoms your family members are experiencing—coughs, dizziness, and fatigue—are common among those exposed to mold spores.

Given the seriousness of these potential health issues, a professional inspection is highly recommended. Our company, Saniservice, offers comprehensive mold inspections tailored for the UAE market. We use state-of-the-art equipment like moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to identify hidden areas of mold growth that might not be visible to the naked eye. Additionally, our team can assess whether existing HVAC systems are contributing to the problem or if there’s any need for repairs.

If a professional inspection confirms the presence of harmful molds, immediate remediation is necessary. Our protocols comply with local UAE standards and guidelines set by the Department of Economic Development (DED). Remediation involves not only removing visible mold but also addressing the source of moisture to prevent recurrence. This might include fixing leaks, improving ventilation, or installing dehumidifiers.

In Dubai, regulations mandate that all remediation efforts be undertaken by licensed professionals who understand local climatic conditions and building materials. Our team ensures that all removal processes follow these guidelines to guarantee safety for you and your family.

To proceed, we recommend contacting us at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. We can schedule an inspection right away to assess the situation thoroughly and provide a detailed plan of action based on our findings.

Remember, prompt action is key in managing mold issues effectively. Ignoring these signs could lead to more severe health complications down the line.
