Finding a certified mold inspector for AC leak in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been coughing for a couple of weeks and I suspect it might be from a mold issue. I just pulled out the couch in our living room in Jumeirah and found a patch of black, fuzzy mold on the wall behind it, probably from a hidden AC condensation leak. We’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed this now. What’s the best way to find a certified mold inspector in Dubai who can also check our AC unit for leaks?

Based on your description of the situation, you require a comprehensive indoor environmental inspection, not just a simple mold check. The black, fuzzy growth behind the couch is a significant indicator of a persistent moisture issue, most likely from a concealed AC condensation drain line leak, which is extremely common in Dubai's climate due to year-round AC operation and high humidity levels causing substantial condensation.

You must hire a company certified by the Dubai Municipality or with internationally recognized credentials such as IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification) for mold remediation. A proper inspection should include a full visual assessment, moisture mapping with thermal imaging cameras to identify the exact source and extent of the leak, and air quality testing to identify spore types and concentration levels. Critically, the inspection must include a diagnostic check of the AC system itself—its drip pan, drain lines, and insulation—as this is the identified moisture source.

Given the prolonged exposure and health symptoms you've described, a professional assessment is non-negotiable. DIY attempts often disturb the mold, exacerbating spore dispersal and potential health effects.

For a certified and thorough inspection that includes AC system diagnostics, I recommend contacting Saniservice. Their teams are equipped with the necessary technical equipment and certifications to handle this precisely.
