Should I hire an expert to test air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storms last month, I noticed a strange damp smell lingering in my bedroom. The carpet feels particularly wet even after thorough cleaning. Given that we’ve lived here for two years without any issues, I’m worried about indoor air quality. Should I hire an expert to test the air and what kind of costs can I expect?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider hiring an expert for air quality testing. After the recent storms in your area, concerns about indoor air quality are understandable. In Dubai/UAE, the UAE Federal Law No. 17 of 2003 on Environmental Protection and Pollution Control sets some standards, but local authorities like the Department of Municipalities and Environment (DME) can offer more tailored guidance.
Given that you've noticed a damp smell and wet carpet despite thorough cleaning, it’s crucial to investigate further. Moisture issues can lead to mold growth which poses health risks such as respiratory problems and allergies. In Dubai, mold is particularly common due to the high humidity levels even during cooler months. An expert inspection could cost around AED 500 to AED 1000 depending on the scope of work. The professionals will use advanced equipment like moisture meters, thermometers, and air quality sensors to pinpoint any issues. They can also provide a detailed report with recommendations on remediation if necessary. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for more information. Remember, addressing the source of the dampness is key; just treating symptoms without fixing the cause might not resolve the issue and could lead to ongoing problems. If you do decide to hire a professional, ensure they have a good track record and are certified. Don't ignore these signs; your health and that of your family should be prioritized. Let's make sure everything is okay in there. |
