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

After the heavy rainstorm last month, I noticed a strange dampness in my bedroom closet. The smell is persistent even with frequent airing out, and it’s making me worry about mold growth. Given that we’ve been living in this apartment for two years, should I consider hiring professionals to check on the indoor air quality?

Absolutely, hiring professionals for indoor air quality checks is a wise decision especially after experiencing unusual dampness and persistent odors. In Dubai and the UAE, we've seen an increase in such cases following heavy rains or unexpected weather changes.

Given your situation, it’s crucial to ensure that any moisture issues are properly addressed before they escalate into more serious problems like mold growth. The UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor environmental quality, which include standards for air quality and moisture control in residential buildings. For example, the building codes under the UAE's Department of Municipal Affairs & Urban Planning (DMA&UP) mandate regular inspections to ensure the safety and healthiness of buildings.

Given your concerns about dampness and a persistent smell, it would be prudent to contact professionals such as those from Saniservice who can conduct thorough assessments. They use advanced tools like moisture meters, thermometers, and air quality analyzers to pinpoint any issues accurately. Their services are not just limited to identifying mold but also include recommendations for remediation and prevention.

Moreover, with the recent rainfall, it’s important to address any water intrusion points in your apartment quickly. A professional can help you identify these areas and suggest necessary repairs to prevent further moisture build-up. Timely action can save a significant amount of money on extensive repair bills down the line.

So if you’re noticing dampness or an unpleasant smell that won’t go away no matter how many times you air out your closet, it’s time to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a professional inspection. Early intervention can prevent more serious issues and ensure the comfort and health of your home.

Remember, in Dubai especially, maintaining good indoor air quality is not only important but also mandated by local regulations. Don’t hesitate to reach out for expert assistance if you’re concerned about your living environment.
