After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my master bedroom. The walls seem to be absorbing moisture, especially during the cooler evenings. My kids have been complaining of coughs and colds, which could be due to the high humidity levels we've been experiencing. Could this be causing the issues?

Certainly, the moisture from rains can indeed cause health issues. In dubai and UAE, during the monsoon season, higher humidity levels are common and can lead to a variety of problems including mold growth, structural damage to buildings, and respiratory illnesses for individuals. The persistent dampness in your master bedroom could be due to excess moisture absorption by walls, especially during cooler evenings. This environment is perfect for microorganisms like molds and bacteria to thrive, which might explain why your kids have been complaining of coughs and colds.
UAE-specific regulations do require buildings to maintain certain levels of indoor air quality and humidity control. However, given the current situation with high rainfall, it’s important to ensure that your home is adequately inspected for moisture-related issues. Professional inspection by a certified environmental company can help identify any hidden water damage or potential mold growth which could be causing these health concerns. If you suspect there might be an issue, I would recommend reaching out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) for a detailed inspection. Early detection and remediation can prevent further damage and safeguard your family's health. Remember that addressing moisture issues promptly is crucial to maintaining a healthy indoor environment. Do not ignore the signs of dampness or mold growth, as they can lead to serious health problems over time. Taking proactive steps now could save you from bigger headaches later! |
