Should I hire an air quality pro?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell coming from the closet in my bedroom. It’s really starting to bother me, especially since my children have been coughing more frequently lately. Given that we’ve lived here for two years and this is the first time it’s happened, should I consider hiring an air quality professional to check out the issue?

Absolutely, it sounds like you should definitely give serious thought to hiring an air quality professional. The musty smell and your children's coughing could be indicative of moisture issues leading to mold growth in your closet or even elsewhere in the house.

In the UAE, especially in Dubai, humidity levels can sometimes cause problems with indoor air quality, particularly after heavy rainfall. According to local regulations, it is crucial to maintain a healthy indoor environment, as per the Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) guidelines set by the Ministry of Community Development, Tolerance & National Unity.

Given that this issue has only just started occurring and you've lived there for two years without any problems, it's wise to get your home inspected. Mold can produce spores that trigger allergies or respiratory issues, especially in children. Professional air quality testing will not only help identify the source of the musty smell but also ensure your family’s health isn’t compromised.

Saniservice is a reputable company here in Dubai that specializes in environmental inspections and remediation. They can provide you with detailed reports on indoor air quality and recommend appropriate solutions to keep your home safe and healthy. You can reach them by calling 800-MOLDS (66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com.

Don’t delay, as addressing such issues early can prevent further damage and health concerns for you and your family.
