Is dampness after rain from mold affecting my kids?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a peculiar dampness in my bedroom that lingers even after drying everything out. The smell isn't strong but it’s persistent, and now my kids have been coughing more frequently. Is this something I can handle myself or do I need to call an expert?

Dampness after rain can indeed be concerning especially when it lingers and seems to affect your kids' health. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, humidity levels can fluctuate significantly making areas more prone to mold growth. The dampness you're experiencing could very well be due to mold spores that thrive in moist environments.

Mold can produce allergens which might lead to respiratory issues like coughing and other symptoms in children and adults alike. Given the persistent nature of the dampness and its apparent impact on your kids, it would be wise to seek professional help sooner rather than later. Mold remediation experts are equipped with knowledge and tools to accurately assess the situation and provide appropriate solutions.

In Dubai, there are specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and mold management that you should be aware of. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) of the UAE has guidelines on maintaining healthy indoor environments which your home may not yet comply with due to the current dampness problem. Consulting an expert will ensure that your home is in line with these standards.

To get started, I highly recommend reaching out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. They can provide you with a thorough evaluation of the mold situation and offer remediation services if necessary. Early intervention can prevent further spread and potential health issues.

Remember, addressing this issue promptly is crucial not just for your family's well-being but also to maintain the structural integrity of your home. Don't hesitate to take action as soon as possible to ensure a healthy living environment for you and your kids.
