My apartment has had a strange smell for the past few weeks, and I'm starting to worry it might be cleaning summer. I've checked the obvious places but can't find the source. Should I get a professional inspection?

Absolutely, getting a pro inspection is a wise move especially when dealing with strange smells in your apartment, particularly if it's been ongoing for weeks. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, the climate can sometimes be quite challenging, and issues like mold growth or water damage could very well be the source of that unsettling odor.

Dubai has its own set of building regulations, including those from the Department of Municipalities and Urban Planning (DM&UP), which mandate regular inspections to ensure structural integrity and safety. Given your situation with the persistent smell, it's important to rule out any potential hazards like mold or dampness.

Mold can thrive in hot and humid conditions, which are common during Dubai’s summer months, making this a plausible culprit for the smell you’re experiencing. Mold not only poses health risks but also structural damage over time. If left unchecked, it could lead to significant issues with your apartment's materials and even its value.

Professional inspectors like those at Saniservice can help pinpoint the exact source of the odor through their expertise in indoor environmental quality assessments. They will use specialized equipment to detect moisture levels, mold spores, and other contaminants that might be lurking behind walls or under floors.

Remember, early detection is key! If you suspect mold, it’s crucial not just for your comfort but also for your health and the overall integrity of your property. Don’t delay in contacting Saniservice by calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They are experienced in handling such cases and can provide you with a detailed report and remediation plan if needed.

Taking this step now could save you from bigger problems down the line, so don’t hesitate to act.
