Should I hire pros for indoor air quality or DIY?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a weird damp smell coming from my bedroom closet. The AC in my apartment has been running non-stop to try to keep everything dry, but it's not helping much. Given that we've lived here for 2 years and just noticed this issue, should I consider hiring professionals to check the indoor air quality or is this something a DIY fix can handle?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider hiring professionals for an indoor air quality check. Given the recent heavy rains and your description of a damp smell persisting despite constant AC use, it might indicate more than just moisture issues. In Dubai/UAE, we're prone to such situations due to our climate conditions and sometimes, construction practices that can lead to water infiltration.

Firstly, I would strongly recommend not to dismiss this issue as a simple DIY fix. The persistent dampness in your bedroom closet could be indicative of a larger problem like a leak or poor ventilation which, if left unchecked, might affect not only the air quality but also structural integrity and mold growth. In the UAE, regulations require buildings to adhere to strict standards regarding indoor air quality and health hazards such as mold. If it's indeed mold-related, immediate action is necessary.

Given your concern and considering the duration of this issue, I would suggest reaching out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional assessment. They can provide you with detailed reports on air quality and recommend appropriate measures such as dehumidifiers, ventilation systems improvements, or even structural repairs if needed.

Regular checks are especially important in Dubai where we experience varying weather conditions including high humidity during certain months. Early detection and remediation can prevent costly damage to your property and ensure a healthier living environment for you and your family.

Remember, the key is not just addressing the smell but also understanding its root cause. Don't hesitate to seek expert advice to keep your home safe and healthy!
