Should I clean this mold myself or seek help?« Back to Previous Page

The smell of mold and its associated symptoms like itchy eyes and coughing should not be taken lightly. In the UAE, especially areas like Dubai where humidity levels can fluctuate significantly, the presence of mold could indicate a more complex issue than just a simple cleaning job.

Firstly, it's crucial to understand that mold remediation in the UAE is subject to specific guidelines set by local authorities to ensure public health and safety. The Health Authority - Abu Dhabi (HAAD) for instance, enforces strict regulations on indoor air quality which includes stringent control over mold growth. Given these regulations, attempting a DIY cleanup might not only be ineffective but could also lead to further spread of the mold or even worsen the situation.

Before taking any action, it's highly recommended that you contact professionals who can conduct a thorough inspection and provide an accurate assessment of the extent of the mold problem. At Saniservice, we offer comprehensive mold inspection services which include identifying the type and severity of the issue. Our team uses advanced technologies to detect hidden mold growth behind walls or under floors where it may not be immediately visible.

Once you've had a professional assessment, they can guide you on the appropriate methods for cleanup. For minor cases, simple cleaning with bleach might suffice. However, if the problem is more extensive, they will recommend using specialized equipment such as negative air pressure units and HEPA filters to ensure safe removal of mold spores.

Moreover, addressing the root cause of moisture intrusion is key to preventing future occurrences. This may involve repairing leaks, improving ventilation systems, or installing dehumidifiers in your home.

So, while it’s understandable that you might want to tackle this yourself, safety and effectiveness should be top priorities. Please don’t hesitate to contact us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a professional consultation and remediation plan. Remember, your health and the well-being of your family are paramount.
