How much does indoor air removal cost?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a strange dampness in the corners of my living room, especially near the windows. My kids have been complaining about having persistent coughs, and it's really worrying me whether it’s due to mold or something else. The AC is quite old and hasn't been serviced for over a year now.
How urgent do you think this situation is, and what steps should I take immediately to address potential indoor air quality issues?

Indoor air removal costs can vary quite a bit depending on the specifics of your situation. In the UAE, especially in cities like Dubai, where humidity levels can be high, mold issues and poor indoor air quality are common concerns. The cost for professional air removal or remediation services could range from AED 2000 to AED 5000 or even more, depending on the extent of the problem.
Given that you've noticed dampness in your living room and have kids complaining about coughs, it's crucial to act quickly. Mold can produce allergens and spores which may lead to respiratory issues, especially for children. Moreover, your old AC hasn't been serviced in over a year, making it more prone to harboring mold or other contaminants. Firstly, ensure you address the source of moisture. Check if there are any leaks around windows or pipes that could be causing this dampness. If so, fixing them promptly can prevent further growth of mold and improve indoor air quality. Secondly, consider calling a professional for an inspection. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice (call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) specialize in environmental inspections and remediation. They can identify the presence of mold, assess the severity, and recommend appropriate treatments such as air purifiers, dehumidifiers, or even complete air removal systems. If you decide to go with a professional service, they will typically offer a quote based on their assessment. This might include cleaning affected areas, using advanced equipment for thorough disinfection, and installing new HVAC systems if necessary. Regular maintenance of your AC and ensuring proper ventilation can also help prevent future issues. Remember, in the UAE, there are specific regulations regarding indoor air quality, especially in public buildings but increasingly becoming more relevant to residential areas too. By addressing this issue now, you not only improve the health and well-being of your family but also ensure compliance with local standards. Acting fast is key here, so don't delay! |
