Should I tackle mold myself or call a pro?« Back to Previous Page

It's understandable to want to handle mold issues yourself; however, given the climate and regulations in the UAE, it might be best to call a professional. The high humidity levels during rainy seasons can indeed encourage mold growth, especially in enclosed spaces like closets.

In Dubai, mold isn't just an aesthetic issue—it can pose health risks, particularly for people with allergies or respiratory issues. According to the Environmental Health Regulations of the UAE, properties must maintain safe conditions that prevent mold and other allergens. If you notice discoloration and a musty smell in your closet, this could be indicative of mold growth.

Firstly, try to identify if there's an excess moisture source such as leaking pipes or condensation issues which can fuel mold development. AC systems running constantly can contribute to higher humidity indoors, making conditions ripe for mold growth. However, it’s essential not to rely on DIY methods alone, especially when dealing with unseen moisture behind walls or in other hard-to-reach places.

Professional inspectors and remediation experts have the necessary equipment to properly assess the situation. They will use techniques like thermal imaging cameras to detect hidden moisture and determine if mold is present beyond what you can see. If a professional inspection confirms mold growth, they'll provide a detailed plan for removal tailored to your specific case.
