Need mold inspection for AC causing persistent dry cough?« Back to Previous Page

Based on your description of a persistent AC leak and the associated dry cough, especially in a child, a professional mold inspection is not just recommended—it is essential. The combination of a constant moisture source and Dubai's high ambient humidity creates a perfect environment for microbial growth within the AC unit, the ductwork, and the concealed wall cavities. This is a serious indoor air quality concern.

The symptoms you describe are classic indicators of exposure to mold spores and mycotoxins, which are aerosolized by the AC system and distributed throughout the room. A simple visual check is insufficient, as the most dangerous growth occurs hidden from view inside the evaporation coil housing, drain pan, and insulation.

A trustworthy inspection for a case like this must be comprehensive. It should include a visual assessment with boroscope cameras to see inside the AC unit and walls, followed by professional air and surface sampling. This environmental testing, analyzed by an accredited laboratory, is critical. It identifies the specific mold genus present and quantifies the spore concentration in the air you breathe, providing a scientific baseline for any necessary remediation and to verify the success of the cleanup later.

Do not attempt to handle this yourself. Improper disturbance can cause a massive release of spores. For a thorough inspection and certified testing, I strongly recommend you contact the professionals at Saniservice.
