Should I DIY or seek pro help for high bedroom humidity?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy rains we had last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my bedroom. The humidity seems to be at an all-time high even with the air conditioning on full blast, and it’s making everything feel sticky and uncomfortable. My kids have been complaining of coughs, which I suspect might be related to this increased moisture. Do you think there are any DIY solutions or should we seek professional help to manage this humidity issue?

High humidity levels in your bedroom can indeed be uncomfortable and potentially harmful to both your health and the integrity of your home. Given the recent heavy rains experienced in Dubai/UAE, it's understandable why you're noticing a persistent dampness even with air conditioning on full blast.
In a scenario like yours, where high humidity is affecting not only comfort but also possibly leading to health issues for your family, I would recommend seeking professional help rather than relying solely on DIY solutions. The UAE has specific building codes and regulations (like the UAE Building Code 2018) that address moisture management in buildings, particularly in regions like Dubai where environmental conditions can vary significantly. DIY measures such as increasing ventilation by opening windows during cooler times of the day or using dehumidifiers might provide temporary relief. However, these methods alone may not be sufficient to tackle persistent high humidity issues, especially when coupled with recent heavy rains that could have introduced moisture into your home's structure. Professional inspection and remediation services are crucial in such cases. Companies like ours can conduct thorough assessments to identify the root causes of high humidity, which might include leaks, inadequate insulation, or poorly designed ventilation systems. We can also recommend appropriate solutions tailored to your specific situation. For instance, we may suggest installing a whole-house dehumidifier system or conducting waterproofing treatments on exterior walls.
