AC Leak Causing Mold and Sickness in Dubai: Professional Cleaning?« Back to Previous Page

Based on your description, it is highly likely that the black spots behind your wardrobe are mold, and the persistent stuffy nose and headaches you and your husband are experiencing are classic symptoms of mold exposure. The fact that your symptoms clear up when you leave the bedroom is a significant indicator that the environment is the source. The continuous AC leak has created the perfect conditions for mold growth: constant moisture combined with the organic material in the carpet and wall. Dubai's high humidity and year-round reliance on AC systems, which can accumulate condensation and dust if not properly maintained, make such scenarios unfortunately common.

The safest and most effective course of action is to seek a professional inspection and remediation service immediately. DIY cleaning is strongly discouraged for a situation of this duration and severity, as improper handling can disturb the mold, releasing a high concentration of spores into the air and potentially making the contamination and health effects much worse.

In the UAE, professional mold remediation companies, like Saniservice, follow strict protocols for containment, removal, and disposal to prevent cross-contamination. Our process involves a thorough inspection to identify the full extent of the growth (which is often more widespread than it appears), isolating the affected area, using HEPA filtration air scrubbers, safely removing contaminated materials, and applying professional-grade antimicrobial treatments to prevent regrowth. We also identify and rectify the root cause—in this case, the AC leak—to ensure the problem does not return.

For a comprehensive inspection and a safe, guaranteed remediation plan, I recommend you contact our team at Saniservice. Call us at 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an assessment. Addressing this properly will not only remove the health risk but also protect the structure of your home.
