Is mold from rain harming my family?« Back to Previous Page

The musty smell and the presence of dark patches on your ceiling indicate possible mold growth. In Dubai/UAE, it is imperative to act quickly as moisture from heavy rains can indeed pose serious health risks, particularly for children who may be more susceptible to respiratory issues.

Given the urgency and severity of the situation, I would strongly advise conducting a professional inspection by contacting Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They are well-versed in handling mold remediation cases specific to our region and can provide expert analysis on the extent of damage.

In the meantime, ensure you take these immediate steps:
1. Restrict access to the affected area by your kids to prevent further exposure.
2. Wear protective gear when inspecting or cleaning—gloves, goggles, and a respirator are essential.
3. Avoid touching or disturbing the mold growth as it can release spores into the air.

Mold in the UAE is subject to certain regulations outlined in the Environmental Health Code of Practice (DLD 2019). It's crucial that any remediation efforts adhere to these guidelines for safety and efficacy. Saniservice not only complies with local standards but also utilizes advanced techniques such as ozone treatment and biocides to ensure complete eradication.

Remember, while DIY cleaning might seem tempting, it could exacerbate the situation by dispersing spores or causing additional damage to your ceiling. Professional services guarantee thorough removal and prevent recurrence of mold growth.

Don't delay in addressing this issue; prompt action can safeguard both you and your family’s health.
