How to find a professional mold inspector in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing non-stop for the past month, and I just found a patch of black spots behind their bedroom wardrobe. We live in an older villa in Jumeirah, and with all the humidity lately, I'm really worried it's mold. How do I find a professional who can do a proper inspection and tell me if this is what's making them sick?

Given the symptoms you've described and the visible growth in a humid climate like Dubai, it is highly advisable to engage a certified professional for a comprehensive mold inspection. In older Jumeirah villas, persistent high humidity and year-round AC operation create ideal conditions for mold, often hidden within walls or behind furniture where condensation occurs.
A proper inspection involves more than a visual assessment. A qualified professional will use specialized equipment, including moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden dampness, and borescopes to look inside cavities. Crucially, they should conduct air quality testing, both indoors and outdoors, to measure spore counts and identify the specific genus of mold present. This scientific analysis is vital to determine if the concentration and type of mold are at a level that can cause the health issues your family is experiencing. In the UAE, it is essential to choose a provider that adheres to international standards like IICRC and has experience with local regulations set by Dubai Municipality. They should provide a detailed report outlining the cause, extent of contamination, and a clear scope for remediation. For a situation involving health symptoms and visible growth, I strongly recommend contacting a specialist immediately.
