Should I hire pros to check humidity?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, given the conditions you've described, it would be prudent to engage professionals for an inspection. High humidity levels can indeed lead to mold growth, which is a significant concern especially considering your reported coughing and the moldy smell in your bedroom.

In the UAE context, particularly within Dubai, humidity levels have been known to fluctuate seasonally, exacerbated by recent rainfall. According to the UAE Building Code (PBD 1502-2013), indoor relative humidity should ideally be maintained between 40% and 60%. Your current situation suggests that you may be operating outside these parameters.

Given your symptoms and the mold smell, there’s a strong likelihood of elevated moisture levels. Mold not only poses health risks but can also cause structural damage over time. The presence of high humidity in an air-conditioned space indicates issues such as poor ventilation or perhaps a malfunctioning AC unit that might need servicing.

I recommend reaching out to professional environmental inspection and remediation services immediately. These specialists will conduct a thorough assessment, identifying the sources of moisture and recommending solutions. They can also perform necessary treatments to address existing mold growth and prevent future occurrences.

For your immediate comfort and health, consider using dehumidifiers in affected areas until you receive professional advice. Ensure that these units are properly maintained and positioned away from walls to avoid creating additional moisture barriers.
