Is mold near my son's window safe?« Back to Previous Page

I've been hearing about similar concerns from folks around the UAE after recent storms. Mold near windows can indeed be a serious issue, especially considering your son's health.

First off, it’s important to understand that mold growth is often linked to water damage or high humidity levels. After heavy rains and storms in Dubai, it’s quite common for moisture to seep into buildings through cracks, windows, or other areas. This can lead to the development of unwanted molds, which might not only affect air quality but also trigger allergies and respiratory issues like coughing.

Given your situation, I’d recommend taking immediate action. Start by ensuring that proper ventilation is maintained in your son’s room. Open windows when weather permits, but be cautious about letting in too much moisture during rainier spells. Using a dehumidifier can help manage indoor humidity levels, keeping them below 60%.

However, if the mold issue persists or spreads, it's crucial to call for professional assistance. In Dubai, you might want to contact Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. They can provide a thorough inspection and recommend appropriate remediation steps according to UAE standards.

Remember that some molds can be harmful if disturbed during cleaning, so it’s best to leave the job to professionals who are trained in mold removal techniques. Don’t hesitate to seek their advice on how to properly clean and prevent future outbreaks in your home.

In the meantime, keep an eye out for any other signs of water damage or increased humidity levels throughout your home. Regular checks can help catch issues early and prevent them from becoming bigger problems down the line.

Stay vigilant and proactive about maintaining a healthy indoor environment.
