Mold in bedroom: DIY or call Dubai professionals?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing a lot since we came back from our summer holiday, and I just found a patch of black spots in the corner behind our wardrobe in the master bedroom. The wall feels slightly damp, and it's been extra humid in the apartment for the last month. Is this something I can tackle with bleach and vinegar myself, or do I need to call one of those professional mold remediation companies in Dubai?

Based on your description, this is a classic case of hidden mold growth triggered by the UAE's high humidity, likely exacerbated by your AC system's performance while you were away. The damp wall behind the wardrobe is a significant red flag; it suggests a potential condensation issue or even a hidden leak from piping within the wall cavity.
Attempting a DIY remediation with bleach or vinegar is strongly discouraged. These are surface treatments that do not address the root moisture problem. More critically, disturbing the mold by cleaning it yourself can aerosolize spores, potentially worsening your children's respiratory symptoms and contaminating other areas of your apartment. For this scenario, a professional inspection is absolutely recommended. In Dubai, our protocols follow international standards (IICRC S520) adapted for the local climate. We use specialized tools like borescopes to inspect inside wall cavities and moisture meters to pinpoint the exact source of dampness, which is crucial for a permanent solution. The health of your family is paramount, and improper handling can escalate the problem.
