how to get mold inspection in jumeirah for kids' cough« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been coughing non-stop since the weather got more humid a few weeks ago, and I’m starting to worry. I’ve noticed some black speckles forming in the corner of their bedroom where the wall meets the ceiling, right behind the wardrobe. We live in an older building in Jumeirah and I’m concerned this might be the cause of their allergies. What’s the best way to get a proper mold inspection done here to make sure it’s safe for them?

The black speckles behind the wardrobe and the timing with increased humidity strongly suggest a mould issue. In older Jumeirah buildings, this is common where walls meet ceilings, as this is a thermal bridge that attracts condensation from our high outdoor humidity meeting cold AC-cooled surfaces.

For a child's persistent cough, a professional inspection is recommended to identify the species and extent. Look for a provider that conducts a thorough assessment, including a moisture survey to find the water source and air or surface sampling. The critical differentiator is that the inspection should be done by an independent party separate from any remediation company to avoid a conflict of interest. A proper inspection will provide a detailed report with lab results identifying the mould types present, which is essential for understanding the health risk and planning next steps.

In Dubai, ensure the company follows international standards like the IICRC S520 for mould remediation. You can verify their credentials by asking for certifications and sample reports. The process typically involves a visual inspection, moisture mapping, and sampling sent to an accredited lab. This evidence-based approach is what separates a legitimate inspection from a simple visual check.
