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

Absolutely, it's highly recommended to hire professionals for mold inspection and remediation. The symptoms your children are experiencing—wheezing and coughing at night—are alarming signs that might be linked to the musty smell and discoloration on your walls. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, heavy rains can lead to significant moisture problems, making mold a common issue.

Firstly, it’s important to understand that in the UAE, especially considering the recent rainfall, there is an increased risk of mold growth due to high humidity levels. The Abu Dhabi Executive Council has issued guidelines on mold management and health, which are applicable to all Emirate regions including Dubai. These guidelines recommend regular checks for moisture sources and proper ventilation as preventive measures.

Given your situation, it's crucial to act promptly. Mold can produce allergens that can irritate the respiratory system leading to conditions like asthma. In fact, according to studies conducted in the UAE, mold spores are known triggers for allergic reactions such as asthma attacks, especially in children who might have a higher sensitivity.

Upon hiring a professional team like us at Saniservice (contact 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com), we'll conduct a thorough inspection to identify any mold colonies and assess the extent of the problem. Our team will use advanced detection equipment including moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and air quality monitors to pinpoint areas affected by moisture.

Based on our findings, we’ll provide a detailed report outlining the remediation plan. This might include cleaning or removing contaminated materials, drying out wet areas, and implementing measures to prevent future growth such as improving ventilation systems and addressing any leaks.

Remember, immediate action is key. Delays can lead to more extensive damage and health risks for your family. Early detection and prompt treatment significantly reduce the likelihood of long-term health issues associated with mold exposure.

In conclusion, don’t hesitate—contact us right away to schedule an inspection. We are committed to ensuring a healthy environment for you and your family in Dubai.
