Should I handle this mold myself or call professionals?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell creeping into my bedroom closet. Upon closer inspection, there’s a small patch of mold growing on one corner of the wall. Given that we’ve been living in this apartment for two years without any issues like this, I’m not sure if it’s something I can handle myself or if I should call in professionals. Can anyone share their experience with dealing with mold in such a contained area?

Absolutely, given the situation you've described, it's wise to tread carefully. Mold can indeed be a serious issue, particularly after heavy rains like those we experienced last month here in Dubai. The UAE has specific regulations around mold remediation that must be adhered to for both safety and legal compliance.
Firstly, let’s address whether you should handle the mold yourself or seek professional help. In your case, with only a small patch on one corner of the wall, it may seem manageable at first glance. However, given the climate here in Dubai, which can promote rapid growth, handling it properly is crucial to prevent spread and ensure health safety. If you decide to tackle this yourself, make sure you have the right tools—such as gloves, a mask, protective eyewear, and a disinfectant solution that works well with mold. It's also important to clean thoroughly and ensure all affected areas are dried out completely to prevent recurrence. However, if the mold has spread beyond just one corner or if it’s growing on surfaces like wood or carpets, you might want to consider calling in professionals. In Dubai, regulations require that any mold remediation project be handled by certified experts who understand local environmental standards and guidelines. These professionals will ensure the job is done safely and effectively, preventing cross-contamination and ensuring no health risks are posed to your family.
