Should I hire a pro for indoor air quality assessment?« Back to Previous Page
|
My living room has been feeling stuffy for a while now, and I've started noticing a bit of mold around the edges of the windows. I live in an apartment in Dubai Marina where the humidity is pretty high, especially this time of year. I've tried airing it out and using a dehumidifier, but it hasn’t helped much. Should I consider hiring a professional to assess the indoor air quality, and what kind of costs am I looking at for that?

Given the symptoms you've described—stuffy air and mold around your windows—it's definitely wise to consider hiring a professional to assess your indoor air quality. In the UAE, particularly in humid areas like Dubai Marina, indoor air quality can be significantly affected by humidity levels and inadequate ventilation, leading to issues such as mold growth which can pose health risks.
A professional inspection can help identify the root causes of your indoor air quality issues. They will typically assess factors such as humidity levels, air circulation, and potential sources of mold. In many cases, moisture intrusion from the outside, poor ventilation, or even issues with your air conditioning system can contribute to these problems. The UAE has specific regulations regarding building standards and indoor air quality, mainly outlined in the Abu Dhabi International Building Code and the Dubai Green Building Regulations. These standards emphasize the importance of maintaining a healthy indoor environment. If mold is present, it’s essential to address it promptly, as exposure to mold can lead to respiratory issues and other health concerns. Regarding costs, a professional inspection for indoor air quality in Dubai can range from AED 500 to AED 2,500 or more, depending on the complexity of the assessment and the size of your apartment. This investment can save you significant costs in health-related issues and further damage to your property in the long run. If you decide to proceed with a professional assessment, look for companies that specialize in indoor environmental quality and have experience dealing with mold and air quality issues in Dubai. It’s always a good practice to check reviews and their credentials.
