Is dampness linked to my daughter's cough?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a dampness in the corner of the living room that never seemed to dry out properly. My daughter has had a persistent cough since we moved into our new rental two years ago, but it’s gotten worse recently, and I’m starting to wonder if there might be an issue with indoor air quality. Has anyone else experienced similar problems or know what could be causing this?

Absolutely, dampness can be linked to your daughter's cough. In the UAE, particularly Dubai, humidity levels can vary significantly, and any moisture issues like those you're experiencing could indeed impact indoor air quality.
Firstly, it’s important to understand that in a climate like ours, excess moisture often leads to mold growth which is one of the primary culprits for respiratory problems, especially among children. The dampness in your living room corner might be fostering an environment where spores thrive, and these can circulate through your home's air currents, affecting your daughter’s health. According to UAE regulations, it is mandatory for rental properties to maintain certain standards of cleanliness and hygiene, which includes addressing any signs of water damage or mold. If the dampness has persisted over two years without proper attention, there could be a significant buildup of moisture that requires immediate action. To better understand what's happening in your home, I recommend scheduling an inspection with a professional company like ours at Saniservice.
