Should I worry about damp smell in closet?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, the damp smell from your closet is something that should definitely concern you. In dubai and the uae, it's pretty uncommon to experience consistent moisture issues like this, especially in a well-built apartment after two years of living there. However, since you've started noticing it recently, there might be underlying problems worth looking into.

The damp smell could indicate an issue with condensation or possibly water intrusion from outside sources such as leaks through walls or the roof. In our region, humidity levels can fluctuate significantly, and if your apartment is not properly ventilated, moisture can accumulate in hard-to-reach areas like closets, leading to mold growth. Mold can produce unpleasant odors and pose serious health risks, including respiratory issues for some people.

Given that you've been living there for two years without this issue, it’s quite possible the problem has developed recently due to changes in the building's conditions or increased humidity levels from recent weather events like rainfall.

It would be wise to contact a professional environmental inspection and remediation company to assess the situation thoroughly. They can help identify if there are any leaks or ventilation issues causing the dampness, as well as check for mold growth which could affect your health.

Remember, in dubai, we have specific regulations regarding indoor air quality that landlords must adhere to. If your landlord is not responding to your concerns, you might want to inform them of the situation and remind them of their responsibilities under these regulations.
