Are damp spots and loud AC normal?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a damp spot forming near the window in my bedroom. My landlord hasn’t addressed it yet, and it’s making me worry about mold. The AC in this shared space has also been running extra loudly at night, and I’m not sure if that’s normal or if something needs fixing. Has anyone else experienced these issues or know what might be going on?

Hey there,
Damp spots and loud ACs can be pretty common issues but they should definitely be monitored. In the UAE, especially during the rainy season, dampness is more likely to occur due to increased humidity levels. A small spot near a window is normal if you get some rain. However, it's important that you keep an eye on its size and whether there are any signs of mold. Mold growth in Dubai can be particularly problematic given our climate and the presence of high moisture. If the dampness doesn't clear up or if it spreads, I'd recommend having a professional inspection as soon as possible. The UAE has strict building codes regarding indoor air quality and moisture control. Non-compliance could lead to serious health issues for you and your family. For instance, the Dubai Municipality enforces standards to ensure buildings are well-ventilated and dry. Regarding the loud AC, it might be something simple like a clogged filter or a slight misalignment that can easily be fixed. But if it's been going on for some time now, it could indicate a more serious issue with the system itself. Regular maintenance is key to keeping your air conditioning running smoothly and quietly. If you're unsure about what’s causing these issues, it might be wise to consult an HVAC professional or call 800-MOLDS (or 800-66537) for a free inspection. This way, you can ensure that the problem is addressed properly before it gets worse. Remember, early detection and resolution are crucial in maintaining good indoor air quality and comfort. So don’t hesitate to take action if you suspect any issues. Take care, [Your Name] Saniservice Team |
