Should I address wall dampness or is maintenance responsible?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed water pooling near the base of my bedroom wall. The carpet underneath feels damp to the touch, especially in the mornings. It’s a bit worrying since this is a rental property; should I be concerned about addressing this myself or is it something that maintenance should handle?

It sounds like the dampness near your bedroom wall and the carpet might be more than just a temporary issue. In dubai and the uae, buildings are subject to local regulations such as those outlined by the Dubai Municipality which require structures to maintain proper moisture levels to prevent mold growth and other potential health issues.
Given that you've noticed persistent dampness especially in mornings, it's important to take this seriously. Mold can thrive in such conditions and may pose a risk to your health and the structural integrity of the building over time. Dubai's climate, with its high humidity and occasional rainfall, makes it all the more crucial to address these issues promptly. While you might consider addressing minor cases yourself by ensuring proper ventilation or using dehumidifiers, I would recommend reaching out for professional inspection first. This is especially true if the dampness persists or spreads. A professional can help identify the root cause and provide a comprehensive remediation plan that complies with local regulations like those set forth by Dubai Municipality. In uae, it's common practice for landlords to take care of structural issues related to water damage, but as this is your rental property, you should inform your landlord about this issue. However, if they don't act swiftly or adequately, it might be wise to involve a professional service that can offer the necessary expertise and treatment.
