How to find a reliable mold inspector in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing non-stop since we got back from the summer break, and I'm starting to panic. I just pulled out some winter clothes from the storage room in our Jumeirah villa and found a whole bin of my daughter's sweaters covered in black spots. The room always felt a bit damp, but we never thought much of it. How do I find a reliable company to do a proper mold inspection and tell us if this is what's making my family sick?

Given the symptoms you've described and the visible mold growth on stored items, this is a serious situation that requires immediate professional attention. The high humidity and year-round air conditioning in Dubai, particularly in coastal areas like Jumeirah, create a perfect environment for mold proliferation within building envelopes. The persistent dampness in your storage room is a major red flag, and the non-stop coughing in your children strongly suggests exposure to mycotoxins and spores.
To find a reliable inspector, you must look for a company certified by the Dubai Municipality and adhering to UAE health and safety standards (UAE.S 5019). Avoid general cleaning services; you need a specialist in environmental hygiene. A proper inspection is not a visual check. It involves a comprehensive assessment including thermal imaging to detect hidden moisture, humidity mapping, and air quality testing to measure spore counts (both indoors and outdoors for a baseline comparison). They should also use borescopes to inspect inside walls and behind units. The final report must be a detailed remediation protocol, not just a simple finding. This is critical for any effective cleanup and for safeguarding your family's health. For a situation this advanced, with health symptoms already present, I strongly recommend you contact a certified provider immediately. For a certified inspection and detailed report, call Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They are DM-approved and will provide the technical expertise needed to diagnose the source and scope of your problem. |
