Who should remove black mold in a damp Dubai room?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing and I suspect it's from the black fuzzy stuff I just found behind our bedroom wardrobe. We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed it when I was moving furniture to clean. The wall feels slightly damp and the room is in the shadow of the building so it never gets any sun. Who is the best company in Dubai to call for proper black mold removal, and should we be staying somewhere else until it's handled?

A certified indoor environmental professional should remove significant black mold, especially with health symptoms present. The damp wall and lack of sunlight you describe are classic conditions for mold growth in Dubai's humid climate.
For this scenario, call a company with specific expertise in mold remediation, not just general cleaning. They must use containment barriers and HEPA filtration to prevent spores from spreading to other parts of your home during removal. Crucially, they should identify and rectify the source of the dampness—often condensation from AC units, capillary rise from the slab, or a hidden plumbing leak—otherwise, the mold will return. It is generally advisable for sensitive individuals, like children with respiratory issues, to stay elsewhere during the aggressive removal phase. Any reputable provider will offer a post-remediation verification test, ideally from an independent third-party lab, to confirm the spore count has returned to a safe level before you consider the job complete. The Dubai Municipality has guidelines for indoor air quality, and a proper remediation company will align its protocols with these standards. |
