How to find mold inspection in Jumeirah?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing more than usual and I finally checked behind the wardrobe in our master bedroom. I found a patch of black mold on the wall that’s been hidden there who knows how long. We’ve lived in this Jumeirah villa for two years and I’m worried it’s spread further inside the walls. What’s the best way to find a proper mold inspection company here that can check for hidden moisture and give a full report?

Hidden mold behind furniture in Jumeirah villas is common due to high humidity and condensation from year-round AC use. For a suspected case like yours with potential spread inside walls, a professional inspection is strongly recommended to locate all moisture sources and assess contamination.
Look for a company that uses a combination of visual inspection, thermal imaging to detect hidden dampness, and moisture meters. The most critical factor is that they provide a comprehensive written report detailing the type of mold (often requiring lab analysis), the moisture source, and the extent of the contamination. This report is essential for planning any remediation and should be independent of any remediation services they might also offer. Ask potential inspectors if their final report includes documentation from an accredited microbiology lab, as this provides definitive species identification. In Dubai, many reputable providers are aligned with international standards like IICRC. Verify their credentials and ensure they focus on finding the root cause—the moisture issue—not just the visible mold. A proper inspection will give you a clear action plan to address your children's health concerns effectively. |
