Should I worry about mold from last month's rain?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we had last month, I noticed a musty smell in my bedroom closet. It’s really concerning because my children seem to be getting more sick lately. Should I consider hiring professionals to check out the mold issue or is there something I can do myself?

Absolutely, you should worry about the mold from last month's rain. In dubai, heavy rains can create ideal conditions for mold to grow, and your concerns about the smell and health issues are valid. Mold spores can thrive in damp environments, particularly in closets or areas that have been exposed to water damage.
First things first, it’s a good idea to check if there is any visible signs of water damage or discoloration on walls, ceilings, or floors. If you spot anything unusual, this could indicate where mold might be growing. Keep an eye out for black, green, or brown spots which are common indicators of mold. However, the musty smell and health issues your children are experiencing can also suggest that mold is present even if it's not visible to the naked eye. Mold can release spores into the air when disturbed, causing respiratory issues especially in young children and those with allergies or asthma. Given the UAE’s stringent regulations regarding indoor air quality, I would highly recommend a professional inspection.
