Is mold causing our health issues?« Back to Previous Page

Dear Concerned Homeowner,

It's understandable to feel worried about potential health issues linked to mold. In the UAE, especially after such heavy rainfall as you mentioned, it’s crucial to address any signs of moisture and mold growth promptly.

Mold can indeed be a serious issue leading to various health concerns, including respiratory problems, skin irritations, and allergic reactions. The symptoms your family is experiencing - persistent cough and increased skin issues - could potentially be linked to indoor mold exposure, but they could also be due to other factors like allergens or even changes in the local climate conditions.

In Dubai, it's important to follow regulations set by the Environment Agency – Abu Dhabi (EAD) which mandate that properties must meet certain standards for air quality and moisture management. Given the circumstances you've described, I recommend a thorough inspection of your home to identify any mold growth and assess its impact on indoor air quality.

Professional mold inspectors in Dubai can provide detailed assessments using advanced tools like thermal imaging cameras and airborne spore samplers. They'll also take swab samples for laboratory analysis if necessary. This step is critical as it ensures an accurate diagnosis and appropriate remediation plan tailored to your specific situation.

If a significant mold problem is identified, it's important not to attempt DIY cleanup without professional guidance. Mold can spread quickly through porous materials like drywall and wood, potentially causing further damage or health issues. Professional remediation services will use specialized equipment such as HEPA vacuums and biocides approved by local authorities.

Given the urgency of your situation, I would advise contacting an accredited environmental inspection and remediation company immediately. You can reach out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com for a professional assessment.

Remember, early intervention is key in managing mold issues effectively and protecting your family’s health. Don’t wait until the problem worsens - act now!
