How do I choose a reliable indoor air quality company?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a strange damp smell lingering in my bedroom. The air feels thick and doesn't seem as fresh as it should be. Given that we’ve lived here for two years and our kids have been coughing more frequently lately, I’m considering hiring someone to check out the indoor air quality. But with so many options available, how do I know which company is reliable and what can I expect in terms of costs?

Choosing the right indoor air quality company for your home in Dubai can indeed be daunting. First off, it's crucial to understand that indoor air quality (IAQ) is a serious concern, especially after experiencing damp smells and increased coughing amongst family members. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, there are specific regulations you should consider, like those set by the Environmental Agency - Abu Dhabi for managing moisture and mold growth.

To start off, do some research on companies with good track records. Look into their credentials such as certifications from recognized bodies like BSI (British Standards Institution) or IAQG (International Association of Indoor Quality Groups). Also, check if they're members of the Building and Property Management Association (BAPMA) in Dubai, which can offer insights into their reliability.

Another key point to consider is the experience of the company. Since you've noticed changes after rain, it's essential that your chosen firm has a good track record dealing with moisture-related issues. They should be able to provide references from similar properties and case studies if possible.

Costs vary widely among companies so getting multiple quotes can help you compare services offered against prices charged. A professional indoor air quality inspection typically includes a detailed assessment of IAQ, mold testing, and sometimes even radon gas testing depending on your location. You might expect to pay anywhere from AED 1000 to AED 3000 for a thorough inspection, though this can vary based on the size of your property.

Don't hesitate to ask about follow-up services if needed. Some companies offer remediation after identifying issues such as mold growth or moisture problems – it’s important that you understand what's included in their service package and whether they provide post-treatment support.

Lastly, be wary of any company offering quick fixes without a comprehensive inspection. A reliable firm will take the time to assess the situation thoroughly before recommending solutions.

If all this sounds overwhelming, consider calling 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for professional guidance. They can provide tailored advice based on your specific needs and help you navigate the process of improving your indoor air quality safely and effectively.

Remember, a clean bill of health from your air doesn't just mean fresh-smelling air; it's about ensuring the safety and well-being of every member in your family.
