After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell in my bedroom closet, which got worse every time it rained. When I checked inside, I saw some mildew growing on the back wall near the window. How common is this issue in Dubai, and what steps should I take to address it?

Yes, mildew is quite common after rainfall in Dubai. This climate can provide the perfect conditions for its growth, especially in areas that have poor ventilation and moisture retention like your bedroom closet near a window. The UAE's high humidity levels, despite its generally arid environment, contribute to this issue.
In your specific case, it sounds like you're experiencing an indoor mold problem due to excess moisture from rain seeping into the walls or accumulating inside the closet. This is not uncommon in Dubai where we experience sudden changes in weather, particularly during the monsoon season when rainfall can lead to such issues more frequently. For a thorough understanding and effective remediation of your situation, it's highly recommended you engage a professional environmental inspection company like ours. We offer specialized services tailored for environments like yours, ensuring that all aspects of mold growth are comprehensively addressed. First steps involve conducting a detailed visual inspection followed by moisture testing to identify the extent of mold infestation. Professional tools and techniques will help determine if there's an active mold colony or just surface-level contamination which can greatly affect the remediation approach and costs. If the situation warrants, we recommend air quality tests as well. This is crucial because airborne spores from mildew can spread rapidly throughout your home, affecting both health and property value. Controlling such a spread requires precision that only professional-grade equipment and expertise can provide. In terms of cost, it varies widely depending on the severity of the situation. Minor cases might just require cleaning with appropriate agents whereas more serious conditions could necessitate structural repairs along with comprehensive mold removal services. Our company provides transparent pricing structures so you know exactly what to expect upfront without any hidden fees. Do not attempt DIY solutions unless absolutely necessary and only after consulting a professional. Improper handling can exacerbate the problem leading to higher remediation costs down the line.
