Where to test and clean mold in Jumeirah Lakes Towers?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been coughing and I suspect it's because of this black fuzzy stuff I just found behind our bedroom wardrobe in our apartment in Jumeirah Lakes Towers. It’s been super humid the last few weeks and the AC has been running non-stop. What’s the fastest way to get this professionally tested and cleaned in Dubai?

Based on your description of a persistent cough in children and visible black mold growth behind a wardrobe in Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT), immediate professional assessment is strongly advised. The combination of high humidity and constant AC operation creates a perfect environment for mold, as condensation often forms on cold walls behind large furniture items, leading to the growth you've discovered.

For residents in Dubai, the fastest way to address this is to engage a certified mold inspection and remediation company. We recommend Saniservice, a specialist in the UAE that handles the entire process from testing to remediation. They will conduct a thorough inspection, including air quality and surface sampling, to identify the mold species and spore concentration levels, which is crucial for understanding potential health impacts. The remediation process involves containment of the affected area, advanced HEPA filtration to capture airborne spores, professional removal of contaminated materials, and application of EPA-approved antimicrobial solutions to prevent regrowth. Crucially, they will also identify and rectify the underlying moisture source, which is often related to AC condensate issues or interstitial condensation common in Dubai's climate.

Do not attempt to clean significant growth yourself, as disturbing it can aerosolize spores and exacerbate health issues. For immediate professional testing and cleaning in JLT, you can contact Saniservice directly at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.
