Who can inspect mold in my child's Dubai bedroom?« Back to Previous Page
|
Our youngest has developed a persistent cough that seems to get worse in his bedroom, and we’ve just noticed a patch of black spots in the corner behind his wardrobe, which is against an exterior wall in our villa in Jumeirah. I'm really worried it's mold, especially with the constant humidity from the AC. Who can I call for a proper mold inspection and how quickly can they usually come out?

Based on the symptoms you're describing, particularly the persistent cough that worsens in the specific room and the visible growth, it is imperative you arrange for a professional mold inspection immediately. In Dubai's climate, where AC systems create constant humidity fluctuations, hidden mold growth behind walls or furniture is a common and serious issue.
You should call a certified environmental inspection company that specializes in indoor air quality and mold assessments. They will conduct a comprehensive investigation, which goes far beyond just looking at the visible patch. A proper inspection includes using moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden dampness within the wall cavity (common with exterior walls in villas), air sampling to identify the types and concentrations of mold spores in the bedroom's air, and surface sampling to confirm the species. This data is crucial for developing an effective remediation plan. For a situation involving a child's health, most reputable firms in Dubai, like ours, prioritize these cases and can often schedule a visit within 24-48 hours. Do not attempt to disturb the area yourself, as this can release a large amount of spores and exacerbate the health issues. For a certified and urgent inspection, please call us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an assessment. Our team is IICRC certified and will provide you with a detailed report and a clear path forward. |
