Should I check indoor air quality after rainy weather?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the air in my bedroom. The AC is supposed to be taking care of moisture, but it seems like there might be more going on since my kids have been coughing and sneezing more than usual. Should I hire professionals to check out the indoor air quality or is this something that can wait for a regular maintenance call?

Absolutely, checking indoor air quality after rainy weather is wise. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, we experience periods of heavy rainfall which can lead to increased humidity levels and potential moisture issues within our homes. This dampness could be causing more than just discomfort; it might also be affecting your family's health.
The strange dampness you're noticing in your bedroom could indeed be due to more than just your AC struggling. High humidity levels after rain can create an environment conducive for mold growth, and molds are known allergens that often cause coughing, sneezing, and other respiratory issues, particularly among children. Given the circumstances, I would recommend hiring professionals to check out the indoor air quality in your home. Our region has specific guidelines regarding indoor environmental quality as per the UAE Building Code which is important to adhere to for a healthy living environment. The SaniService team, reachable at 800-66537 or by email at hello@saniservice.com, can provide comprehensive testing and remediation services if necessary. Regular maintenance calls are essential but might not address all issues, especially those that arise from unusual weather conditions like heavy rains. Remember, early detection is key to preventing more serious health risks associated with indoor mold growth. Don't delay; act now before the situation worsens. Your family's well-being should be your top priority. |
