Should I be worried about mold in my kids' bedroom?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my bedroom closet. The smell is musty and unpleasant, and it seems like there might be some mold growing in the corners. This isn't just a mild annoyance; my kids have been complaining of coughing fits lately, which makes me wonder if this could be affecting their health. How urgent is it to address this issue before it gets worse?

Yeah, sounds like you've got a serious situation there. In the UAE, humidity levels can be pretty high, especially after heavy rains, and that's exactly what mold loves to thrive on. Considering your kids are complaining of coughing fits, it’s definitely urgent to address this.

First off, you should know that in Dubai/UAE, there aren't specific regulations like some other places when it comes to indoor air quality, but the health impact of mold is a major concern for parents and property owners alike. Mold can produce allergens which might lead to asthma attacks or other respiratory issues, especially in children.

Given your situation, I'd strongly recommend having an independent professional inspection done as soon as possible. Many companies provide such services like Saniservice, and they have the right tools and experience to assess the extent of mold growth and suggest remediation steps.

To start with, you should take precautions by wearing gloves and a mask when handling any affected areas. Don’t try to remove the mold yourself; it’s better left for professionals who can ensure it's fully eradicated without causing further damage or spreading spores around your home.

In the meantime, improving ventilation in that area could help. Make sure you open windows if possible to let fresh air circulate and use dehumidifiers to reduce moisture levels. Keeping the humidity down is key to stopping mold from coming back.

Remember, early intervention can prevent bigger problems later on. Don't delay, reach out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email them at hello@saniservice.com for a professional assessment and guidance tailored to your specific case in Dubai.

Stay proactive about the health of you and your kids!
