Is dampness from rains causing mold in living room?« Back to Previous Page

Since the heavy rains last month, I’ve noticed a persistent dampness in our living room, especially when the AC is on. The air feels thick and my kids have been complaining of coughing fits every evening. Could this be related to mold or dust mites from poorly cleaned ducts? What should we do about it?

Yes, dampness from rains can certainly contribute to the growth of mold and other issues within your living room. Given the climate in Dubai, where humidity levels can be quite high, it's possible that the recent rains have created a favorable environment for moisture to accumulate, leading to conditions conducive for mold spores to thrive.
In the UAE, especially in areas like Dubai, the presence of mold due to dampness should not be overlooked. Mold can indeed produce allergens and irritants which might trigger respiratory issues or exacerbate existing ones such as coughing fits your kids have been experiencing. It’s crucial that you address this issue promptly. First steps include assessing if there's any visible mold growth, checking for water damage around windows, doors, or leaks, and ensuring proper ventilation in the living room to reduce moisture levels. If the area of concern is significant or if you suspect hidden mold behind walls or in your ductwork, it’s advisable to call a professional for an inspection. Professional duct cleaning services are highly recommended, especially when dealing with potential mold growth due to dampness from rains. In Dubai, companies like Saniservice operate according to local regulations which ensure thorough and safe cleaning processes that can help eliminate not just dust mites but also any moisture or mold issues within the ducts.
