Should I clean this mold myself or call professionals?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, it's crucial to approach mold issues seriously. Your situation sounds like a classic case of potential health risks due to mold growth, especially given the recent heavy rains and its current expansion. The greenish-black color suggests it could be Stachybotrys chartarum or Cladosporium, common in damp environments. However, without professional inspection, you can't conclusively identify the species.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, mold growth can pose significant health hazards such as respiratory issues and allergies, especially affecting children more severely due to their developing immune systems. The fact that your kids are coughing more frequently could indeed be linked to this mold presence.

Given the size of the mold (about a dinner plate) and its potential for expansion, it’s highly advisable to avoid any DIY cleaning efforts. Attempting to clean it yourself can spread spores throughout your home, potentially exacerbating the problem. Professional remediation is recommended here.

Professional mold remediation companies in Dubai such as Saniservice are equipped with the necessary expertise and tools to safely remove and address the root causes of moisture that led to this growth. They will conduct a thorough inspection to assess the extent of contamination, develop a detailed plan for removal, and ensure proper containment procedures to prevent cross-contamination.

It’s also important to note that in accordance with UAE building codes and environmental standards, any mold remediation should be done in compliance with local regulations. Saniservice operates under stringent guidelines ensuring the safety and health of your family while addressing the issue effectively.
