Should I check indoor air quality after rain?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, after the heavy rain we've experienced here in Dubai and across the UAE, it's crucial to check your indoor air quality. The dampness following such weather can create an environment ripe for mold growth which might not only affect the smell of your home but also pose health risks like respiratory issues or exacerbating existing conditions.

In the UAE, particularly in places like Dubai, we've seen instances where high humidity coupled with poor ventilation has led to indoor air quality problems. Local regulations such as those set by EN 13788 for moisture content and EN 16032 for radon testing might be relevant here, although I’d recommend checking the latest guidelines from the Dubai Municipality or similar local authorities.

Given your concerns about the smell and family health, it wouldn't hurt to have a professional assessment. Many of our clients in Dubai find that hiring an indoor air quality expert is beneficial when they notice unusual smells or when someone's health seems compromised. A specialist will be able to conduct thorough tests for mold spores, humidity levels, and other potential issues.

Remember, if you do decide to call us at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com, we can provide a detailed inspection that might uncover hidden problems not noticeable by the naked eye. Our services include air quality testing, mold remediation, and ensuring your home remains as healthy an environment as possible.

In the meantime, ensure you're improving ventilation in your home by opening windows when weather permits and using dehumidifiers if necessary. But don't hesitate to seek professional help; after all, your family's health is paramount.
