Should I clean this mold myself or hire a pro?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a small greenish patch starting to form on the ceiling of our master bedroom. It’s not very big yet, maybe about the size of my hand, but it’s growing slowly. My family has been complaining of sneezing and runny noses, which might be related to this mold issue. Should I just clean it up myself or hire a professional?

Absolutely critical to address your situation promptly and properly. The growth of mold can indeed pose health risks, especially for individuals who might be more sensitive like those you mentioned with symptoms such as sneezing and runny nose. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, humidity levels can trigger mold development quickly after rainfall or any water intrusion.

Given the size of your mold patch and its potential to grow further, it’s advisable not just to clean it yourself but also to call for professional inspection. The mold you've noticed is likely due to moisture from last month's rain, which has created an ideal environment for spores to proliferate on surfaces such as ceilings. Moisture management in your home should be a top priority.

In Dubai and UAE, regulations mandate that any significant mold growth be handled by certified professionals. This ensures safety and compliance with local building codes, health standards, and environmental protocols. Hiring a professional company like Saniservice can help you determine the extent of the problem, address underlying moisture issues, and recommend appropriate remediation techniques.

They provide detailed reports on their findings and propose solutions such as air quality monitoring, dehumidification systems installation, and thorough cleaning procedures using non-toxic biocides.

If you decide to go ahead with professional help, ensure the company is licensed by the Dubai Municipality and has experience working in your specific climate conditions. Their expertise can greatly reduce health risks associated with mold exposure while ensuring your property remains safe and habitable.
