Who should test for dangerous AC mold in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

Based on your description, you require a certified indoor environmental professional to conduct an inspection and testing. In Dubai, the high humidity and constant AC use create ideal conditions for mold growth, particularly Stachybotrys chartarum (often called "black mold"), which thrives on the cellulose in building materials like drywall and the dust that accumulates in ductwork.

Do not attempt to clean this yourself, as disturbing it can release a high concentration of mycotoxins and spores into the air, exacerbating your children's respiratory symptoms. The professional you call should be accredited to perform three key services: a visual assessment using borescopes to see inside walls and ducts, air quality testing to identify spore types and concentrations, and surface sampling to confirm the species. They will provide a detailed report that is legally recognized.

This report is critical for your landlord. According to Dubai rental regulations (Law No. 26 of 2007), landlords are obligated to provide a habitable property and maintain the structural integrity of the building. A professional report from a company like Saniservice serves as official evidence of a health hazard that requires immediate remediation. Present this to your landlord formally; if they fail to act, you can escalate the matter to the Rental Dispute Center (RDC) in Dubai.

For immediate testing and a comprehensive report, I recommend contacting the experts at Saniservice. They are equipped with the necessary certifications and technology to handle this safely and provide the documentation you need. You can reach them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or hello@saniservice.com.
