Should I check for mold after a rainy spell?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a peculiar damp smell lingering in my bedroom. My roommate thinks it might be due to mold growth, but I’m not sure if it’s worth addressing now or waiting until next year. Should I consider hiring professionals for an indoor air quality check-up, and what could this entail in terms of cost?

Yes, it’s definitely worth checking for mold after a rainy spell. The UAE has experienced more rainfall than usual this year and the aftermath can sometimes lead to dampness, especially in areas like Dubai where we have less humidity naturally. Mold growth thrives in moist environments and if left unchecked, it can pose health risks and damage your home.

After the rain last month, you noticed a peculiar damp smell in your bedroom. While your roommate thinks it may be mold, this is something that needs to be addressed promptly. In the UAE, mold can grow on various materials such as walls, carpets, and furniture if there’s excess moisture present. This situation could have already caused some damage or might lead to more problems in the future.

Calling 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional indoor air quality check-up is highly recommended. Such inspections usually include visual assessments, moisture testing, and sometimes even air sampling to determine if there’s any mold present. The cost can vary but typically starts from around AED 200 up to several hundred depending on the size of your home and the scope of work required.

It’s important not to delay this as mold can spread quickly and cause more severe issues over time. Plus, the earlier you address it, the less expensive it tends to be in terms of both costs and potential health risks. Remember, professional inspectors will not only check for visible signs but also for areas that might not be easily noticeable.

Taking action now could save you from bigger problems later on. Don’t hesitate to reach out for a thorough inspection to ensure your home’s air quality remains healthy.
