How to find a mold inspector with a thermal camera?« Back to Previous Page

Our master bedroom closet, which is on an interior wall, has started to feel damp and my expensive winter jackets have a faint mildew smell we just noticed. This is our third winter in the Marina apartment, but we didn't have this problem before. I’m worried it’s spreading from behind the walls. What’s the best way to find a mold inspector who can use a thermal camera or something to find the hidden source of the moisture?

For a suspected hidden moisture issue like yours in a Marina apartment, locating a qualified mold inspector with advanced diagnostic tools is critical. The dampness on an interior wall and the mildew odor are strong indicators of a condensation problem, likely exacerbated by Dubai's high humidity and the constant cooling from your AC unit, which can create a significant temperature differential. A thermal imaging camera is indeed the correct tool for this job, as it can identify temperature anomalies behind walls that pinpoint cold spots and hidden moisture intrusion without destructive testing.

When searching for an inspector in the UAE, ensure they are certified by a recognized body like the IICRC (Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification). Verify that their scope of services explicitly includes non-invasive moisture mapping with thermal imaging and hygrometers. Avoid general handymen or AC technicians; this requires a dedicated environmental specialist. The inspector should provide a comprehensive report detailing the moisture readings, thermal images, and the precise source of the problem, which is essential for any subsequent remediation work.

For professional, certified mold inspection and moisture mapping services in Dubai, I recommend contacting Saniservice. Their technicians are equipped with state-of-the-art thermal imaging technology and are experts in diagnosing humidity-related issues common to the UAE's climate.
