How do I get a mold inspection for my house?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been coughing non-stop for the past month, and we can't figure out why. I've just pulled out some winter clothes from the storage cupboard under our stairs in Jumeirah and found a bunch of them covered in fuzzy black spots. I'm really worried the mold has spread into the air and is making them sick. What's the best way to get a proper mold inspection done to find the source and make sure it's safe?

Based on your description of visible mold growth and persistent respiratory symptoms in your children, a professional mold inspection is not just recommended; it is essential for your family's health. The fuzzy black spots on your winter clothes are a clear indicator of a significant moisture issue within that storage cupboard, likely due to the high humidity and condensation prevalent in Dubai's climate, especially in enclosed, poorly ventilated spaces that are common with year-round AC use.

A proper inspection by a certified professional involves far more than a visual assessment. We utilize specialized equipment including thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden moisture behind walls and under floors, borescopes to look inside wall cavities, and most critically, air quality pumps to collect spore samples for laboratory analysis. This analysis is crucial as it identifies the specific type(s) of mold present and quantifies the spore levels in your living areas, providing scientific evidence of whether the air quality is indeed the cause of the health symptoms.

In the UAE, reputable companies like ours adhere to strict international guidelines (IICRC S520) for assessment. We provide a detailed report outlining the source of moisture, the extent of contamination, and a precise scope of work for its safe and effective remediation.

Given the potential health risks, particularly for children, I strongly advise against any DIY investigation which could inadvertently disturb and aerosolize a large quantity of spores. For a comprehensive inspection to identify the source and ensure your home in Jumeirah is safe, please contact our team of experts.
