Should I hire pros for dehumidification or DIY fix?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness seeping into my bedroom closet on the second floor. The AC in the living room seems to struggle with it, but it’s not clear if that's causing the issue or just exacerbating it. Given our location in the UAE, should I consider hiring professionals for dehumidification, or is this something a DIY fix could handle?

Absolutely, the situation you're encountering sounds quite common given Dubai's climate. Persistent dampness in your bedroom closet can be indicative of higher-than-recommended levels of humidity within your home. The UAE, and particularly Dubai, experiences varying levels of humidity depending on the season and weather conditions. In summer, especially after rainfall or during monsoon seasons, the humidity can soar which certainly plays a role in moisture accumulation.

To start with, you might consider performing a thorough inspection to assess the extent of the issue. This could include checking for any visible signs of water damage, mold growth, or structural issues that could be contributing to increased indoor moisture levels. If your AC system is indeed struggling, it's wise to examine its performance and ensure it’s properly maintained as per UAE standards.

Given the persistent nature of the dampness, it might be prudent to seek professional assistance for dehumidification. In Dubai, regulations regarding indoor environmental quality are stringent, with the Health Authority - Abu Dhabi (HAAD) setting guidelines that all new buildings must meet certain moisture levels to prevent mold growth and other health risks.

Professional inspection services can help identify potential sources of moisture such as plumbing leaks or poor ventilation, which might not be immediately apparent. They also have access to advanced equipment like air quality sensors and dehumidifiers capable of handling more severe cases efficiently.

If the situation warrants it, hiring professionals from a company specializing in environmental remediation would be advisable. Such companies often offer comprehensive solutions including dehumidification systems that can effectively manage high humidity levels. For instance, Saniservice operates with state-of-the-art technology and adheres to strict health and safety protocols.

Remember, DIY approaches might provide temporary relief but aren’t always sufficient for long-term resolution. Professional services typically come equipped with the tools and expertise needed to address root causes of moisture issues effectively.

Given your current situation, it would be wise to contact 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection. They can provide tailored solutions based on your specific needs, ensuring a healthier indoor environment for you and your family.
