Need mold inspection with thermal camera in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

Our master bedroom closet, which is on an interior wall, has started to feel damp to the touch and has a really strong mildew smell, especially when the AC isn't running constantly. We first noticed it about a month ago, right after the humidity really spiked. I'm worried it's spreading behind the walls. What's the best way to find a professional mold inspection service in Dubai that can use a thermal camera to find the hidden source of the moisture?

Based on your description, this is a classic case of hidden moisture intrusion, likely exacerbated by Dubai's high ambient humidity and the constant cycling of AC systems. The dampness on an interior wall combined with a strong mildew odor strongly suggests condensation or a slow leak has created an ideal environment for mold growth within the wall cavity. A thermal imaging camera is indeed the correct tool for this job, as it can identify temperature differentials caused by moisture accumulation behind the drywall without being invasive.

For a professional inspection in Dubai, you must ensure the company is certified by relevant UAE authorities, such as the Dubai Municipality, and employs certified mold investigators (e.g., IICRC-certified). The inspection should include a combination of thermal imaging to pinpoint the moisture source and subsequent scientific testing, such as air and surface sampling, to identify the mold species and concentration levels. This is critical for developing an effective remediation protocol, as per UAE standards.

Do not attempt to open the wall yourself, as this can disturb and aerosolize significant mold colonies. The persistent humidity means the problem will only worsen without professional intervention to locate and rectify the source.

For a comprehensive inspection using thermal imaging and moisture meters, I recommend contacting Saniservice. Their teams are fully certified and equipped to handle such investigations in accordance with local regulations. You can reach them for a consultation at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or via email at hello@saniservice.com.
