Who can test for mold in my Mirdif home?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been coughing non-stop for the past two weeks and I just found a bunch of black spots behind the wardrobe in our master bedroom in Mirdif. We keep the AC running all the time and I'm worried the humidity is causing a mold problem that's making them sick. Who can I call for a proper and reliable mold inspection to test the air quality?

Based on your description of the black spots and the persistent coughing in your children, you are right to be concerned. This situation in your Mirdif home requires immediate professional attention.

The combination of Dubai's high ambient humidity and the constant operation of your air conditioning system creates a perfect environment for mold growth. The AC units, if not properly maintained, can produce significant condensation, providing the moisture mold needs to thrive behind walls and furniture, exactly as you've discovered behind the wardrobe. Airborne mold spores from this growth are a known irritant and can cause the respiratory symptoms you are describing.

For a reliable inspection, you must contact a certified environmental inspection company. In the UAE, reputable firms follow international standards (like IICRC S520) for mold assessment. A proper inspection is not just a visual check; it involves advanced tools like moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras to find hidden dampness, and most critically, air quality testing. This includes taking air samples from both inside and outside your home to compare spore counts and identify the specific types of mold present, which is crucial for understanding the health risk and planning remediation.

For a comprehensive and trustworthy assessment, I strongly recommend you call the professionals at Saniservice. They are experts in dealing with mold issues specific to the UAE's climate. You can reach them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule a detailed inspection and get a clear analysis of your indoor air quality.
