Should I check indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a strange damp smell lingering in my bedroom, especially during the cooler evenings. The AC in my apartment seems to cycle on and off more frequently than before, which might be related. Given that we’ve lived here for 2 years and just noticed this, should I consider hiring professionals to check out the indoor air quality?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider checking the indoor air quality. In Dubai and the UAE, humidity can often be an issue due to the climate and recent weather events like rain. The damp smell you've noticed could indicate a moisture-related problem that needs addressing.
In your case, since this is only now becoming noticeable after living in the apartment for two years, it’s worth having a professional come by to assess the situation. High humidity levels can lead to mold growth which not only affects air quality but also poses health risks such as allergies and respiratory issues. Given that we live in an area where regulations like those outlined in the UAE Building Code (EN 15237) apply, it's crucial to ensure compliance with standards for indoor environments. This code sets guidelines for moisture levels and ventilation which can help prevent the kind of issues you're experiencing. I recommend contacting a professional service provider such as Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They can conduct an inspection, identify any potential problems, and provide solutions to improve your indoor air quality. Remember, addressing moisture issues early on can prevent more serious health concerns and costly repairs down the line. So, do not delay! A proactive approach with regular inspections could help maintain a healthy living environment for you and your family. |
