Is humidity indoor covered by insurance?« Back to Previous Page

Humidity indoor isn't typically covered under standard insurance policies in the UAE. However, this can vary based on your policy specifics and local regulations. For instance, some insurance policies might cover damages caused by excessive moisture if it's due to a structural issue or water leakage from above. But, for general high humidity levels that aren't causing immediate damage, you'd usually need to address these through maintenance and remediation services.

In the UAE, especially in Dubai, indoor humidity can be a concern as we experience extreme temperatures between summer and winter seasons. High humidity can lead to mold growth, which is not only unpleasant but also poses health risks. The Environmental Health Authority (EHA) of the UAE has guidelines for indoor air quality that you should adhere to.

If your neighbor's apartment is having issues with indoor humidity, it might be prudent to get a professional inspection done to ensure your unit is safe and comfortable. If you find that high humidity is affecting your living space, there are some steps you can take:

Firstly, check if your air conditioning system needs maintenance or cleaning. Dirty filters and blocked ducts can reduce its efficiency in managing humidity levels.

Secondly, consider installing a dehumidifier to help manage indoor moisture levels, especially during the summer months when outdoor temperatures are high.

Thirdly, ensure proper ventilation. Open windows at times when outside humidity is lower than inside, or use exhaust fans in bathrooms and kitchens where condensation can build up.

Lastly, keep an eye out for signs of mold growth, which can occur with prolonged exposure to moisture. If you notice any discoloration or musty odors, it’s time to take action immediately.
