Possible mold in bedroom makinng kids sick?« Back to Previous Page

Based on your description, this is a serious situation that requires immediate professional attention. The persistent coughing in your children is a significant health indicator, and the black speckles behind the wardrobe in a damp-feeling room are classic signs of a concealed mold colony. In Dubai's climate, with its high humidity and year-round reliance on air conditioning, condensation behind large furniture items like wardrobes is a common occurrence, creating the perfect environment for toxic mold growth.

A proper inspection is critical and goes far beyond a visual check. Our certified mold inspectors begin with a comprehensive visual assessment using moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to identify hidden moisture sources and the full extent of the growth behind walls or under floors. This is followed by air quality testing, where we collect air samples from the affected room, a control room, and the outdoors. These samples are then analyzed in an accredited laboratory to identify the specific genus and species of mold present (e.g., Stachybotrys chartarum, commonly called "black mold," or Aspergillus) and to quantify the spore concentration in your indoor air compared to the baseline outdoor level. This scientific, data-driven approach is the only way to know exactly what you are dealing with and to formulate an effective remediation plan.

Do not attempt to disturb the area yourself, as this can aerosolize spores and exacerbate your family's respiratory symptoms. For a definitive diagnosis and to protect your family's health, you must contact a professional.
