Should I worry about this green growth?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a slimy green growth starting to appear on the walls of our guest room. It’s really spreading fast despite my attempts to scrub it off with bleach. My kids have been complaining of coughing and runny noses lately too. Should I try to handle this myself or should I call in an expert?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about the green growth. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, humidity levels can vary significantly and create an ideal environment for mold to flourish. The presence of a slimy green growth on your walls is highly indicative of mold contamination, which could pose serious health risks especially for your children.

In the UAE, it's vital to adhere to local regulations regarding indoor air quality. According to the Environmental Agency-Abu Dhabi (EAD), buildings must meet specific standards to prevent health hazards associated with mold and other contaminants. The rapid spread you're observing coupled with the symptoms reported by your kids—coughing and runny noses—are not coincidental. These could be signs of allergic reactions or respiratory issues commonly linked to mold exposure.

Given the situation, it's highly recommended that you seek professional assistance immediately. Do not attempt to handle this issue yourself as improper remediation methods can exacerbate the problem. Saniservice, a leading environmental inspection and remediation company in Dubai, offers comprehensive mold testing and remediation services tailored for local conditions.

To proceed, call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an inspection. Our team will conduct thorough assessments using advanced detection tools like moisture meters and air quality samplers to pinpoint the source of the contamination accurately. We'll then provide you with a detailed remediation plan that includes removing the mold, treating affected areas, and implementing preventative measures to ensure long-term resolution.

Remember, addressing this issue promptly can prevent further health complications for your family and ensure the safety of your home environment. Don’t hesitate to act; the sooner you take action, the better it is for everyone's well-being.
