How to quickly test and treat mold with kids?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing for the past couple of weeks and I’ve just discovered what looks like black mold behind the wardrobe in our master bedroom in our Mirdif villa. We had that one big leak from the AC unit a few months back and I guess the wall never properly dried out. What’s the fastest way to get this professionally tested and treated, especially with little ones in the house?

Given the situation with your kids in a Mirdif villa, immediate action is crucial. The black mold behind the wardrobe, likely stemming from that AC leak, is a serious health hazard, especially for children whose respiratory systems are more vulnerable.
The fastest and safest route is a professional inspection. DIY test kits are unreliable and won't identify the specific species or the extent of the infestation hidden within the wall cavity. We follow UAE standards and use tools like borescopes and moisture meters to assess the damage without unnecessary demolition. The treatment must be comprehensive; simply wiping the surface is ineffective and can aerosolize spores, making the air quality worse. For remediation, we use hospital-grade EPA-approved disinfectants and containment procedures with negative air pressure to prevent cross-contamination. With little ones, we prioritize non-toxic, eco-friendly antimicrobial solutions during hygienization. All work is backed by a post-remediation verification test to ensure the air quality is safe for your family. Do not attempt to handle this yourself. For the health of your children, you need a certified expert. Call us immediately at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an emergency inspection. We can be on-site in Dubai within hours to start the process. |
