Is indoor air covered by insurance?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the corner of our living room. It's not something that goes away even after airing out the space. My kids have been coughing more frequently since then, and my wife complains of headaches too. Could this be related to the indoor air quality?

Indoor air quality can indeed be linked to health issues and is something that should definitely be looked into. The musty smell you're noticing might indicate mold growth which is common after rain, especially here in Dubai where the climate can be quite humid.
Insurance coverage for indoor air quality issues like mold isn't typically a standard part of most insurance policies in the UAE. However, some comprehensive home insurance plans may cover certain types of damage or remediation if it's due to an unforeseen event such as flooding. But remember, these policies often have specific clauses and exclusions so you’d need to check with your insurer for clarity. Given that mold can pose significant health risks and your family is experiencing symptoms like coughing and headaches, I highly recommend calling in professionals to inspect the situation. Here in Dubai, Saniservice (Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) is a reputable company with expertise in environmental inspection and remediation. Taking proactive steps now can prevent more serious health issues for your family. Mold not only causes respiratory problems but can also lead to structural damage if left unchecked. The sooner you address the issue, the better it will be for everyone's well-being. Always make sure to follow up on any advice from professionals with actions like fixing leaks and ensuring proper ventilation to prevent further mold growth in the future. Remember, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial for a healthy home environment, especially in our hot and humid climate. |
