Should I handle this mold myself?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a greenish tinge developing on the ceiling near the window in my bedroom. It’s been there for about a week now and it smells pretty musty. My kids have also been complaining of coughing fits lately. Can someone with experience in mold systems tell me if this is something I can handle myself or if we need to call in professionals?

Handling mold yourself can be tricky and potentially dangerous. In the UAE especially, particularly in regions like Dubai where humidity levels might vary significantly due to climate control systems, it's important to act with caution.
Firstly, you've noticed a greenish tinge on your ceiling near the window after rain. This could indicate mold growth. Mold spores can spread easily and may produce allergens, irritants, and in some cases, mycotoxins. Given that your kids have been complaining of coughing fits, it's crucial to address this issue promptly. In Dubai, as per the UAE regulations, building owners are responsible for maintaining a healthy environment within their premises. If mold is discovered, especially if it has spread beyond a small area or if health concerns arise, you should consider calling in professionals right away. A professional inspection by Saniservice would be advisable here. They can help identify the type of mold and its extent, ensuring that any remediation work done is both effective and safe. Their services are available at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or you can email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation. Remember to take precautions while waiting for the inspection team. Wear protective clothing, such as gloves and masks, when assessing the area to prevent direct contact with mold spores. If the mold has spread beyond an easily manageable level, it's best not to attempt removal yourself. Professional companies like Saniservice have the necessary tools and expertise to contain, clean, and remediate mold effectively while ensuring your health is protected.
