Indeed, the humidity spike could be causing that discoloration on your bathroom ceiling. In Dubai and the UAE, we commonly face such issues due to the high levels of moisture during summer months or after a rainfall.
Discoloration is often an early sign of water damage or mold growth. This can range from simple stains caused by condensation or minor leaks to more severe cases involving mold colonies. Mold thrives in warm and humid environments like bathrooms, making them particularly susceptible. In the UAE, regulations regarding indoor air quality and building maintenance are stringent. The Building Control Department (BCD) of Dubai Municipality oversees these standards to ensure public health and safety. The discoloration might be due to a few reasons: • Condensation: When warm, humid air meets cooler surfaces like metal or concrete, it can condense into water droplets. • Leaks: Even minor leaks from pipes or roof damage can lead to persistent moisture issues. • Mold growth: High humidity levels combined with poor ventilation create the perfect environment for mold.
