Do water spots and damp walls need professional help?« Back to Previous Page

Well, the situation you're describing sounds quite concerning. Water spots and damp walls can be indicative of potential issues that might require professional attention. In Dubai/UAE, it's important to follow building regulations which mandate regular maintenance and inspection for moisture-related problems.

The first step would definitely be to inspect the area closely. Look for signs like mold growth or peeling paint which could suggest a more serious issue. If you spot any of these or if the dampness persists, it’s wise to call in an expert. A professional building inspector can diagnose the problem and provide guidance on necessary actions.

However, if the spots seem minor and the area isn't too large, cleaning up yourself might be manageable. For small areas, a good start would be using a sponge or soft cloth with a mild detergent solution. Be sure to dry the area thoroughly after cleaning. It's also a good idea to check for any leaks in pipes or poor insulation that could be causing the dampness.

For carpets, vacuuming regularly and deep cleaning once every few months is essential. If you see signs of water damage on your carpet, consider hiring a professional cleaner as they can ensure the fibres are properly treated and dried to prevent mold from growing.

Remember, in Dubai/UAE, it's common practice for landlords or property owners to address such issues promptly. So if the problem isn't minor, it could be worth speaking with your landlord about getting it fixed.
