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

My master bedroom closet on the outside wall has started feeling damp, and I just found some black spots on a couple of leather handbags stored in the back. We live in an older villa in Jumeirah and I'm worried the problem is inside the walls, especially after the recent humidity. What's the best way to find a mold inspector who can use a thermal camera or moisture meter to check for hidden mold without having to tear everything apart first?

Locating a qualified mold inspector in Dubai who utilizes advanced diagnostic tools like thermal imaging cameras and deep-probe moisture meters is critical for your situation in an older Jumeirah villa. The persistent high humidity, combined with potential thermal bridging in older construction and year-round AC use, creates a high risk for condensation within wall cavities, exactly as you suspect.

A true professional inspection should be non-invasive initially. The thermal camera identifies temperature differentials behind walls, pinpointing areas of potential moisture intrusion. However, thermal imaging alone is not conclusive; it must be corroborated with a moisture meter that has deep penetration probes to quantify the moisture content within the building material itself. This combined approach accurately maps the extent of the problem without unnecessary demolition.

When searching, look for companies that are certified by recognized international bodies (like IICRC). Be wary of inspectors who suggest immediate demolition; a proper assessment should always start with diagnostics. In the UAE, remediation work should also comply with Dubai Municipality's public health and safety regulations.

For a thorough inspection using Bosch thermal imaging cameras and professional-grade moisture mapping to assess the dampness in your closet, I recommend contacting the certified specialists at Saniservice. They can provide a detailed report and a scope of work for any necessary remediation. You can reach them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or via email at hello@saniservice.com.
