Who to call for mold inspection in Al Barsha villa?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been coughing non-stop for the past few weeks, especially after they sleep in their room. I finally moved their bunk beds and found a patch of black spots along the wall behind it, and the room has a really damp feel. Who can I call for a proper mold inspection in our villa in Al Barsha to make sure it's safe for them?

Call a certified mold inspector who specializes in indoor air quality and can provide a comprehensive assessment, not just a surface-level check. In Dubai's climate, with high humidity and year-round AC use, hidden condensation behind walls or under floors is common, especially in villas.

A proper inspection involves more than visual identification; it should include moisture mapping with a thermal camera to find the water source and air/o surface sampling sent to an accredited microbiology lab. The lab report identifies the species and concentration, which is critical for understanding health risks and planning remediation. For your children's room, this is essential, as some molds like Aspergillus can aggravate respiratory issues.

Look for a provider that follows international standards like the IICRC S520 and can show you their certifications. They should explain the process clearly and be willing to share sample lab reports. Since the issue is behind furniture and the room feels damp, the root cause is likely excess moisture that needs to be addressed to prevent recurrence after cleaning.

For a villa in Al Barsha, ensure the company is familiar with common construction materials and AC system issues here. The initial inspection and diagnostic testing will determine the full scope of the problem and what remediation steps are necessary to make the room safe.
