Who can help with balcony mold growth?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange mold growth on the walls of our balcony. The municipality guidelines in Dubai are quite detailed, but it’s overwhelming trying to navigate them myself. Are there any local resources or experts who can help with such issues, or am I expected to handle everything on my own?

In the UAE, specifically Dubai, mold growth can be an issue due to climate conditions and heavy rains. The municipality guidelines indeed provide a framework for managing such situations but navigating them can be challenging. For those dealing with balcony mold growth, it is recommended to seek professional assistance rather than attempting to handle everything on your own.

The first step would be understanding the local regulations. In Dubai, the Municipality's Environmental Health Department oversees indoor environmental quality and offers guidelines (though not as extensively detailed as one might hope). However, these can be tough to decipher without specific expertise.

If you're experiencing mold growth on your balcony walls, it is advisable to contact a professional company for inspection and remediation. Companies like Saniservice offer comprehensive services tailored to the UAE market. Their team of experts can perform a thorough assessment, identify the source of moisture leading to mold, and provide a customized solution.

Saniservice's services include:

• Comprehensive Inspection: They use advanced tools to accurately detect mold growth and assess its severity.
• Source Control: Identifying the root cause of the problem is crucial. This could be due to poor drainage, leaks, or high humidity levels.
• Remediation Services: Once the source is addressed, they implement remediation techniques that include decontamination, drying processes, and sometimes structural repairs.
• Preventive Measures: They also offer advice on maintaining a healthy indoor environment moving forward.

For immediate assistance, you can reach out to Saniservice through their hotline 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. Their team is equipped with the latest technologies and methodologies to ensure your balcony's mold issue is resolved effectively and efficiently.

Remember, while the municipality guidelines are a good starting point, they often don't go into the specific details needed for practical application. Engaging professionals ensures that not only will the problem be addressed but also that you comply with all necessary regulations.
