Should I worry about mold in basement?« Back to Previous Page

Since the heavy rains a few weeks ago, I’ve noticed a musty smell lingering in the basement where my children play. The walls feel damp to the touch, especially after the rain. It’s concerning because they’ve been complaining of coughing fits that make me worry about mold exposure. Have any of you experienced similar issues or know how to address this?

Absolutely, the situation sounds concerning. Given the recent heavy rains and damp walls in your basement, it's very possible that mold has started to grow which could definitely be problematic for both you and your children. Mold spores can cause a variety of health issues like coughing fits, respiratory problems, and allergic reactions - especially if they are sensitive or asthmatic.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, humidity levels can reach uncomfortable highs during certain times of the year, making your basement prone to moisture accumulation, especially after rains. This is why it's crucial to act promptly to prevent any potential mold growth from worsening.

It would be wise to schedule a professional inspection as soon as possible. Our company, Saniservice, offers comprehensive mold inspections that are in line with local regulations and standards set by the UAE government.
