Need mold inspection company for walls in Jumeirah?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been coughing non-stop for the last month, and we can't figure out why. I just pulled out a bunch of old winter clothes from the storage cupboard under our stairs in Jumeirah and found a bunch of them covered in black spots. I'm really worried the mold has spread into the walls and is affecting the air quality. Can anyone recommend a reliable mold inspection company that does a really thorough check, including inside the walls?

Persistent coughing in children paired with visible mold on stored items is a strong indicator that a professional inspection is needed. The high humidity in Dubai, especially in enclosed, non-climate-controlled spaces like under-stair cupboards, creates a perfect environment for mold growth that can penetrate porous materials like drywall.

For a thorough inspection in Jumeirah, you need a provider that goes beyond a visual check. They should use a combination of moisture meters to detect dampness inside walls and borescopes to visually inspect cavities. Crucially, air quality testing for airborne spore counts is essential to understand what you're breathing. The most reliable firms will have their own accredited microbiology lab to provide definitive species identification, as the type of mold informs the remediation strategy.

Look for a company that provides a detailed report with lab results, not just a recommendation for removal. This documented evidence is vital. In the UAE, reputable remediation companies adhere to standards like the IICRC S520, which outlines proper protocols for dealing with mold. Before any work starts, ensure their plan includes containment procedures to prevent cross-contamination to other areas of your home.
