How to get a proper mold inspection in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

Our master bedroom in our Jumeirah villa has felt really damp for the last couple of months, and I've started waking up with a stuffy nose and itchy eyes. I just pulled the wardrobe away from the wall and found a patch of black and green speckles behind it. What’s the best way to get a proper mold inspection done here to see if this is what’s making me sick?

Based on your description of symptoms and visible growth behind the wardrobe, a professional mold inspection is strongly recommended. In Dubai's climate, high humidity and constant air conditioning create ideal conditions for mold, particularly in enclosed spaces with poor airflow like behind furniture.

A proper inspection conducted by a certified professional, such as our team at Saniservice, involves several key steps. It begins with a comprehensive visual assessment to identify all moisture sources and visible growth. We then utilize advanced tools like moisture meters to detect hidden dampness within walls and thermal imaging cameras to pinpoint condensation issues invisible to the naked eye. Crucially, air and surface sampling is performed. This involves collecting samples that are sent to an accredited laboratory for analysis to identify the specific genus and concentration of mold spores present in your bedroom's air. This scientific analysis is essential to confirm if the levels are causing your allergic symptoms and to devise an effective remediation plan.

Do not attempt to disturb the growth yourself, as this can aerosolize spores and exacerbate the problem. Professional assessment is critical for health and to comply with Dubai municipality standards for indoor air quality.

For a thorough inspection and lab analysis to diagnose your indoor air quality issue, please call Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an assessment.
