How to find a mold inspector for my Dubai apartment?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been coughing for a couple of weeks and I just pulled out our winter clothes from the back of the bedroom closet in Jumeirah. I found a bunch of our sweaters covered in fuzzy black spots and the wall behind them feels damp. What’s the best way to find a proper mold inspection company that can check the whole apartment, not just the closet?

Based on your description of visible mold growth on clothing and a damp wall, this is a situation that requires immediate professional assessment. The dampness in the back of a closet is a classic sign of a condensation issue, which is extremely common in Dubai due to the high humidity levels and the year-round reliance on air conditioning. The AC's cold surfaces can create significant condensation within wall cavities and behind furniture, leading to the perfect environment for mold, which your children are likely reacting to.

When searching for a proper mold inspection company in Dubai, you must ensure they are certified and follow internationally recognized protocols. Avoid companies that only offer remediation without a separate, unbiased inspection, as this is a conflict of interest. A reputable firm will conduct a comprehensive assessment that includes a visual inspection, moisture mapping with specialized tools like thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters, and most importantly, air and surface sampling. This sampling is critical as it identifies the types and concentrations of mold spores present throughout your apartment, not just in the visible area, which is essential for understanding the full scope of the problem and potential health risks.

For a thorough and certified inspection that adheres to UAE standards, I recommend contacting Saniservice. Their certified inspectors use state-of-the-art equipment to provide a complete picture of the contamination and its source. You can reach their experts for a consultation at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or via email at hello@saniservice.com. Do not attempt to clean the visible mold yourself, as improper disturbance can aerosolize the spores and exacerbate the problem throughout your living space.
