Should I hire professionals for hidden mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the corner of our living room closet. When I checked closer, I saw some discolored patches on the wall that looked suspiciously like mold. Given how long we’ve lived here and not really had any issues before, I’m wondering if it’s just a minor issue or something more serious. Should I consider hiring professionals to check for hidden mold?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider hiring professionals for hidden mold. In the UAE, including Dubai, hidden mold can be particularly concerning due to the humid climate and frequent rainfall. The musty smell you're experiencing alongside discolored patches on your wall are strong indicators of potential mold growth.

Mold inspection in the UAE often requires specialized equipment such as thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to detect areas where mold may be present but not visible, especially behind walls or under carpets. Local regulations, like those outlined in the Environmental Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 32 of 1999), mandate that any identified mold contamination must be addressed promptly to prevent health risks and structural damage.

Professional mold inspectors are trained to conduct thorough assessments, identify hidden mold growth, assess its extent, and recommend appropriate remediation strategies. They can also provide guidance on preventing future occurrences by identifying moisture sources or other contributing factors in your home's environment.

In Dubai, it is highly recommended that you contact companies like Saniservice who specialize in environmental inspections and remediation.
