Need a reliable mold removal company with testing?« Back to Previous Page
|
We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed a patch of black mold in the corner of our master bedroom closet, and my husband has had a persistent cough for the last month. It’s an internal closet on an inside wall, and it’s gotten worse since the weather got more humid. I’m really worried his cough is related. Can anyone recommend a reliable and thorough mold removal company that also does proper testing to ensure it’s all gone?

The black mold in your closet and your husband's persistent cough are likely connected, especially with the recent rise in humidity. This is a common scenario in Dubai where interior walls can develop condensation issues, creating perfect conditions for mold growth.
For a situation like this, you absolutely need a company that handles both inspection and remediation, not just cleaning. The priority is to identify the moisture source—likely a small leak in the AC condensation line, plumbing within the wall, or insulation compromised by humidity. Simply wiping the visible mold won't solve the underlying problem, and it will return. Look for a provider that operates its own accredited microbiology lab. This is crucial. They should conduct a thorough inspection, take air and surface samples for lab analysis to identify the species, and then perform the remediation. The final proof of success is a post-remediation verification test from that same lab, showing spore counts inside the closet have returned to acceptable outdoor levels. This documented evidence is what separates a proper job from a superficial one. Any reputable company will follow international standards like the IICRC S520 for mold remediation. Be wary of services that offer a quick spray-and-wipe without this diagnostic and verification process. Your husband's respiratory symptoms mean this should be handled professionally and completely. |
