Should I worry about dampness in my closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my bedroom closet, and now there's a musty smell that won't go away. The AC seems to cycle on and off more frequently than usual too. Is this an urgent issue I should address right away?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about the dampness in your closet. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we face a range of environmental challenges like humidity and temperature fluctuations which can lead to such issues. The musty smell and increased AC activity suggest that mold or mildew might be growing due to excess moisture.

Mold not only affects air quality but can also trigger allergies, asthma, and other respiratory problems for you and your family. In the UAE, where our climate can vary from hot and dry in summer to more humid during occasional rainfalls, maintaining good indoor air quality is crucial.

Given that you've noticed these symptoms after a recent rainfall, it's advisable to act promptly. First, ensure proper ventilation by opening windows if weather permits or using dehumidifiers. However, for persistent dampness, I would recommend professional inspection and remediation services.

Call 800-MOLDS or 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com to get in touch with experts who can assess the situation accurately. They will likely suggest steps like cleaning affected areas, installing better moisture control systems if needed, and ensuring that your AC is functioning optimally.

Remember, addressing these issues early can prevent further damage to both your health and property. Don’t let this problem linger – take action now!
