Is dampness in closet harmful to family health?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy storm last month, I noticed a distinct dampness in my bedroom closet. The air feels heavier and less fresh, even with the AC running. My kids have been complaining of coughing spells more frequently lately, which has really got me worried about indoor air quality here. How urgent is it to address this issue?

Dampness in closet can indeed be a serious concern, especially after heavy storms. In the UAE, we are prone to humidity fluctuations which can lead to damp conditions that foster mold growth. Mold spores in the air can irritate respiratory systems, exacerbating coughing and other symptoms you've observed with your kids.

In Dubai, it's crucial to address this situation promptly as per local building codes. The UAE Building Regulations require regular checks for moisture intrusion and mold contamination within residential premises. If left unattended, dampness and mold can lead to more severe health issues such as respiratory infections and allergies.

Given the conditions you've described, I strongly recommend getting a professional inspection right away. A skilled inspector will be able to identify any hidden sources of moisture or mold growth that your AC might not fully address. They'll also provide guidance on necessary remediation steps and preventive measures to ensure long-term safety for your family.
