How to find reliable mold inspection in Dubai for walls?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing and I suspect it might be mold. We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed a patch of black spots behind the wardrobe in our master bedroom, which feels damp to the touch. I'm worried it might have spread inside the walls since that room shares a wall with the bathroom.
What is the best way to find a reliable and thorough mold inspection company in Dubai that can check inside the walls and give an honest assessment?

Given the damp patch and your children's symptoms, a professional inspection is the right step. Dubai's high humidity and constant AC use create ideal conditions for mold, especially in concealed spaces like inside walls where condensation can accumulate unseen.
Look for a company that uses a borescope—a small camera on a flexible probe—to visually inspect inside wall cavities without destructive drilling. They should also conduct air quality testing to measure spore counts in different rooms, comparing indoor and outdoor levels. This is crucial for identifying hidden growth. Any reputable inspector will provide a detailed report with lab analysis from a certified microbiology lab, identifying the mold species present. This is not just a visual assessment. Avoid companies that immediately push for expensive remediation. A proper diagnosis comes first. Ask directly about their methods: "Do you use a borescope for wall inspections?" and "Will the report include lab-identified species and spore counts?" Check for certifications like IICRC and if they follow the Dubai Municipality's guidelines for indoor environmental quality. The most reliable firms are transparent, science-driven, and focus on providing diagnostic evidence before any discussion of solutions. |
