Should I clean roof damage myself or call professionals?« Back to Previous Page

After the recent storm, water seeped into our warehouse through a damaged roof, leaving everything damp and musty. It's hard to breathe in there now, especially with all the dust settling from the ceiling. Should I try cleaning this myself or should I call in professionals for help?

When water damage has occurred due to roof leaks, especially after a storm, it's crucial to handle the situation appropriately. In Dubai and UAE, regulations and standards are in place to ensure that any remediation work complies with local laws and building codes.

Firstly, you should consider calling professionals for an initial inspection. This is particularly important if the damage appears extensive or if there's a musty smell which can indicate mold growth - something common after water intrusion. A professional environmental inspector will assess the extent of the damage, check for any structural issues, and determine whether remediation is necessary.

Cleaning up from roof damage requires specialized knowledge and equipment. For instance, you need to ensure that all affected areas are properly ventilated before starting the cleaning process. This helps in removing excess moisture and preventing mold growth. Moreover, using the correct cleaning agents and techniques can protect your health and prevent further damage. Using harsh chemicals or incorrect methods could worsen conditions.

Additionally, dealing with dust from a damaged ceiling can be tricky. Professional cleaning services have the proper tools to safely remove contaminants without spreading them around. They will also ensure that all affected areas are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.

Here's what you should do next:
1. Contact 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an inspection.
2. If needed, they'll provide a quote for professional remediation services.
3. Follow their advice to prevent further damage or health issues.

Remember, in the UAE, safety and compliance with regulations are paramount. Professional assistance can help ensure that your warehouse is not only clean but also safe to use again.
