Should I check more often for basement mold?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, it's wise to be more vigilant about the condition of your basement. In Dubai and the UAE, we often face humidity issues which can lead to dampness and mold growth, especially after heavy rainfalls like you've experienced last month.

Given that kids play down there frequently, it’s crucial to keep an eye on the environment for their safety. The cleaning staff does a great job in maintaining cleanliness but with high traffic areas like basements, regular checks are important. You might want to consider setting up some simple moisture and mold detection tools at home to monitor conditions.

According to UAE regulations, especially those set by the Department of Municipal Affairs and Urban Planning (DMO), it's essential to ensure that basements are properly sealed and ventilated to prevent dampness and mold growth. Regular inspections can help catch any issues early on before they become problematic.

If you notice any signs of moisture or suspect mold growth, it’s advisable to call in a professional for an inspection. At Saniservice, we recommend calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com for prompt and reliable services. We can help you conduct thorough inspections and take necessary remedial actions if required.

Additionally, ensure that the cleaning staff follows best practices when working in damp areas. They should use proper personal protective equipment and clean surfaces thoroughly to prevent cross-contamination.

Remember, keeping a watchful eye on your home's environment is key, especially with young children around. Your proactive approach will not only protect their health but also ensure a safe and healthy living space for all family members.
