Should I get a pro inspection for my smelly apartment?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, it's wise to consider getting a professional inspection for your smelly apartment. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, the climate can exacerbate issues like mold and mildew which often manifest during cleaning summer or after prolonged periods of humidity.

Firstly, let's discuss why you might be experiencing this smell. Cleaning summer refers to a period when increased indoor temperatures combined with higher humidity levels create an environment where moisture can accumulate and lead to unpleasant odors or even mold growth. This is especially common in apartments that have poor ventilation systems, which are quite prevalent in Dubai’s high-rise buildings.

Now, given the climate of Dubai and regulations specific to the UAE, it's crucial to ensure your apartment meets certain standards for indoor air quality. The Building Control Department (BCD) oversees building codes and inspections which include provisions for managing moisture levels within structures. This means a professional inspection could not only help identify the source of the smell but also ensure compliance with local regulations.

Moreover, if the smell persists despite your efforts to clean or ventilate, it's a sign that there might be something more serious going on. Mold can grow in hidden areas like behind walls, under floors, and in air conditioning units, all places where you wouldn't easily spot issues. A professional inspector will have the tools and expertise to locate these sources accurately.

It’s important not to overlook the health impacts of such situations. Exposure to mold can cause respiratory issues, allergies, and other health problems. Given this, it's a prudent step to seek out expert advice from a company like Saniservice who are well-versed in handling such cases in Dubai.
