Should I test indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp smell lingering in the corner of our living room, especially when the windows are closed. My family has also been experiencing more frequent coughing lately, which makes me wonder if there might be an issue with the indoor air quality. Given that we've only lived here for 2 years and this is the first time noticing such issues, should I consider hiring professionals to test the air quality?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider testing your indoor air quality especially given the recent dampness issues and the increased coughing you've been noticing. In dubai, uae, humidity can sometimes be a challenge, particularly after heavy rains or seasonal changes.

Given that you're experiencing these symptoms for the first time in your living space, it's important to assess whether there are any underlying issues that could be affecting air quality. In dubai, we often see moisture-related problems leading to mold growth which can indeed cause respiratory issues like coughing and irritation.

The uae government does have regulations concerning indoor environmental quality but they generally serve as guidelines rather than strict mandates for all residential buildings. However, it's always a good idea to ensure your home is in compliance with local health standards.

To get a clear picture of what might be going on, i'd recommend getting a professional inspection from a company that specializes in environmental testing and remediation like saniservice. They can conduct thorough tests for mold, bacteria, and other contaminants. Their contact details are 800-MOLDS or you can email them at hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, early detection is key to addressing any issues before they become more severe. By getting a professional assessment, you'll be taking proactive steps to ensure the health of your family and the longevity of your home. If the inspection reveals any problems, saniservice can provide expert advice on how to address them effectively.

Taking these steps will help you maintain a healthy indoor environment and avoid potential long-term health concerns linked to poor air quality.
