How to professionally clean mold and treat exposure symptoms?« Back to Previous Page

Professional mold removal starts with containment to prevent spores from spreading. The affected wall section must be isolated with plastic sheeting, and technicians should use HEPA-filtered air scrubbers. The mold is then removed, and all materials are disposed of as contaminated waste. The underlying cause, typically a hidden leak or condensation from your AC unit, must be identified and fixed; otherwise, it will return.

For a patch described as "huge," a professional inspection is strongly advised. The Dubai climate, with its high humidity and year-round AC use, creates perfect conditions for mold growth behind furniture and in walls due to condensation. A proper remediation company will use moisture meters and thermal cameras to find the moisture source.

Regarding your family's health, yes, consult a doctor and inform them of the mold exposure. Persistent coughing and headaches in children are common symptoms of prolonged mold spore inhalation. A medical professional can provide appropriate treatment and rule out other causes. For your home, after remediation is complete, consider an independent post-remediation verification test from a company with its own microbiology lab to confirm the spore count in the air has returned to a safe level.
