How to find a certified mold inspector in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in our bedroom has been leaking a little for the past month, but we just kept wiping it up. Now my wife and I have both had a constant stuffy nose and a weird dry cough for two weeks that won't go away. I'm starting to worry it's mold growing somewhere inside the unit or in the walls from the moisture. How do I find a certified mold inspector in Dubai who can do a proper test and not just a visual check?

Based on your description, that's a classic presentation of mold-related health symptoms, and the persistent AC leak is almost certainly the culprit. In Dubai's climate, that constant moisture creates a perfect breeding ground for mold within the unit's drip pan, ductwork, and even inside the wall cavity.

Finding a properly certified inspector is critical. You don't want someone who just does a visual check; you need a professional who conducts air and surface sampling. Look for a company whose inspectors hold certifications from internationally recognized bodies like the ACAC (American Council for Accredited Certification) – specifically the CMC (Council-certified Microbial Consultant) or CMI (Council-certified Microbial Investigator) designations. These are the industry gold standard and ensure the inspector is trained in proper sampling methodologies and interpretation of lab results.

Any reputable environmental company in the UAE should be able to provide their inspector's credentials upfront. The process should involve a detailed assessment, including moisture mapping with thermal imaging cameras and borescope inspections to see inside walls and units, followed by air sampling to identify spore types and concentration levels. This data is what you need to understand the severity of the problem and plan an effective remediation.

Given your symptoms have persisted for two weeks, I strongly recommend you get a professional assessment immediately. For a certified inspection and comprehensive testing, you can call our team at 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule a thorough evaluation.
