Who shoudl i call first for mold in my apartment?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing for the past couple of weeks and I just pulled out a bag of winter clothes from the back of the bedroom cupboard in our Marina apartment to find a bunch of them covered in fuzzy black spots. The room always feels a bit damp, even with the AC on. Is this definitely mold and who do I call first to handle it safely, the building management or a specialized cleaning company?

Based on your description, this is very likely to be mold. The fuzzy black spots are a classic indicator, and the persistent dampness in your Marina apartment, even with AC, points to a humidity problem—a very common issue in Dubai due to our high ambient humidity, especially in coastal areas. The combination of dust and moisture creates an ideal breeding ground for mold, and enclosed spaces like cupboards are particularly vulnerable.
You should call a professional mold inspection and remediation company first, before contacting building management. Here’s why: A specialized company like ours can conduct a thorough assessment to determine the exact type of mold, the extent of the contamination (which is often hidden within walls or AC units), and the source of the moisture. This professional report is crucial evidence if the issue is structural (like a leaking pipe from another apartment or a building envelope defect) and you need to formally escalate it to your building management or owner's association for resolution. Attempting to clean it yourself or using a general cleaning company can disturb the spores, causing them to become airborne and potentially worsening your family's respiratory symptoms. Professional remediation ensures the mold is contained, removed safely using industry-standard protocols, and the underlying moisture issue is identified to prevent recurrence. For a safe and comprehensive solution, I recommend you contact us at Saniservice. Call us at 800-66537 or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an immediate inspection. Our certified experts will provide a clear assessment and a plan to resolve the issue, ensuring your family's health and the integrity of your home. |
