Who should I call for safe mold removal with kids?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been coughing for the past few weeks and I’m starting to worry. I finally pulled out our large winter wardrobe from the storage room in our Jumeirah villa to get some blankets and found a bunch of black, fuzzy spots all over the back wall and even on some of the clothes. The room always felt a bit damp but we never used it much until now. Who is the best company to call for a proper inspection and safe removal, especially with young children in the house?

Based on your description, this is a serious situation that requires immediate professional attention, especially with young children experiencing respiratory symptoms. The black, fuzzy growth indicates a significant, active mold colony, likely fueled by the persistent dampness in your villa's storage room—a common issue in Dubai due to our high humidity levels and the condensation often associated with year-round AC use.

For a scenario involving health symptoms and extensive contamination on both structural elements and porous materials like clothing, a DIY approach is strongly discouraged. It is ineffective and can aerosolize spores, exacerbating the health risks. You require a certified mold inspection and remediation company.

The best companies in the UAE will follow a strict protocol: first, a comprehensive inspection involving moisture mapping and air/surface sampling to identify the species and spore count; then, a detailed remediation plan. The process involves engineering controls (setting up negative air pressure containment chambers with HEPA filtration to prevent cross-contamination), the safe removal of contaminated materials, and a rigorous hygienization process using EPA-approved, child- and pet-safe antimicrobials. They should also provide a post-remediation verification (PRV) test to confirm the environment is safe.

For a guaranteed safe and thorough resolution, I recommend contacting Saniservice. They are specialists in dealing with mold in Dubai's unique climate and are experienced in handling sensitive cases involving families. You can reach their experts for an immediate consultation at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or hello@saniservice.com.
