Should I worry about mold in my son's bedroom?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell starting in my son's bedroom closet. It’s gotten stronger each day, and now there are these little black spots on the ceiling too. My kids have been complaining of coughing and runny noses, and it’s making me really worried about mold and their health. Could someone help me understand if this is a serious issue and what steps I should take?

Absolutely understand your concern and worry! Mold issues can indeed pose serious health risks, especially for children. The musty smell and the black spots on the ceiling are clear signs of mold growth which can be dangerous to respiratory health.
Firstly, it's vital to know that in the UAE, particularly in Dubai, there have been instances where heavy rains lead to water intrusion and subsequent mold issues. As such, your situation may indeed fall within a common scenario faced here. According to local building codes, properties must adhere to strict standards for moisture control and indoor air quality. Given the symptoms of coughing and runny noses experienced by your children, it's highly recommended that you seek professional assistance as soon as possible. Mold exposure can trigger asthma attacks, cause allergic reactions, and exacerbate other respiratory conditions. The health implications are not something to be taken lightly! Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 for a quick inspection by Saniservice, our company. They have the expertise in assessing mold growth, determining its extent, and recommending safe remediation methods that comply with UAE regulations. In the meantime, ensure good ventilation to reduce moisture levels and prevent further mold spread. Open windows if possible or use dehumidifiers. Keep the affected area clean but avoid disturbing the mold as this can release spores into the air. Taking swift action is key to protecting your family's health and ensuring that the living environment remains safe. Don’t hesitate, give us a call today! |
