What professionals should check for mold after rainy weather?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent heavy rains in the UAE, it's essential to ensure your home is safe from mold. Given that you've noticed a musty smell and your son is experiencing nighttime wheezing, it would be prudent to hire a professional for a thorough inspection.

In Dubai, it's recommended to engage companies certified by the General Directorate of Civil Aviation (GCAA) or those accredited under ISO 9001 standards. These professionals have the necessary expertise and equipment to detect even microscopic mold colonies that could pose health risks. Companies like Saniservice are known for their advanced methodologies and adherence to local standards.

Typically, a professional inspection can range from AED 200 to AED 500 depending on the size of your home and the complexity of the inspection process. The cost may also include remediation services if mold is found. It's crucial to ask for a detailed quote that outlines all included services.

When selecting an inspector, ensure they offer comprehensive reports that detail their findings, including recommendations for remediation. They should employ methods like moisture mapping using thermal imaging cameras and air sampling with culturable spore traps to accurately assess the situation.

If mold is detected, it's important to address the issue promptly to prevent further health impacts. Remediation typically involves removing contaminated materials, cleaning surfaces, and treating areas affected by mold growth. For severe cases or large-scale contamination, they might employ biocides and air filtration systems.

Remember, prolonged exposure to mold can exacerbate respiratory conditions like asthma. Regular maintenance of your home’s humidity levels using dehumidifiers and ensuring proper ventilation can help prevent future issues.
