Is AC mold making my child sick in JVC?« Back to Previous Page

Based on your description, this is a serious situation that requires immediate professional attention. The black spots behind the sofa are a classic sign of active mold growth, and the persistent respiratory symptoms in your child are a major red flag. In the humid climate of Dubai, AC leaks are a primary cause of mold, as the constant moisture creates an ideal breeding ground for colonies, often of the toxic black mold (Stachybotrys) variety.

The fastest way to compel your landlord to act is to formally notify them in writing (email is best) about the AC leak and visible mold, and explicitly link it to your child's health issues. Under UAE tenancy law, landlords are obligated to provide a habitable property, and a mold infestation caused by a maintenance issue (the leaking AC) is their responsibility to rectify. State that you require a professional mold inspection and remediation, not just a handyman to wipe the wall. A certified inspector will conduct air and surface sampling to identify the spore types and concentration levels, which is critical evidence.

Do not attempt to clean this yourself, as disturbing the mold can aerosolize the spores and worsen the indoor air quality, potentially exacerbating your child's cough.

For an immediate professional assessment and to get the proper documentation to present to your landlord, I strongly advise you to call our certified team. We can provide a comprehensive inspection report that will validate your concerns.
