Should I handle ceiling mold myself or seek help?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy rain we had last month, I noticed some discoloration on the ceiling of my bedroom. It’s a small spot but it’s growing bigger every day. The room also has this damp smell that makes me feel unwell. Can someone who's dealt with mold before tell me if I should try to handle this myself or seek professional help?

Handling mold issues can be tricky, especially when they're growing. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we've seen several cases where ignoring a small discoloration could lead to bigger problems down the line. The damp smell you're noticing is your body's signal that something isn't right.
First off, it's crucial to understand that mold can be harmful if not addressed properly, especially for those with allergies or respiratory issues—sounds like you might want to consider professional help. In the UAE, we follow strict health and safety guidelines when dealing with mold; these regulations are particularly stringent in commercial buildings but still relevant for residential areas too. The growth of mold is often due to excess moisture, which can be caused by various factors including last month's heavy rain. It’s important to identify the source of this moisture and address it first. However, given your situation, I’d strongly advise against attempting to handle this yourself unless you're well-versed in mold remediation. Professional inspection is a must here. Saniservice.com offers expert mold testing services that can help pinpoint the type and extent of the problem. Once they've assessed the area, they'll provide recommendations on how to proceed with safe removal. Don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a quote. Remember, mold can spread quickly and may produce spores that are harmful when inhaled. It's best not to touch the affected area directly; use caution and potentially wear protective clothing if you need to move around it while waiting for professionals to arrive. In summary, seek professional help to ensure your safety and the health of your home. Mold can be a serious issue, but with the right expertise and action, you can tackle it effectively.
