Should I handle mold myself or seek help?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a mildew-like growth starting on the ceiling of my bedroom. It's only in one corner but it’s spreading fast. My kids have been coughing more than usual, and I suspect it might be mold-related. Should I try to handle this myself or do I need professional help?

Handling mold is no joke especially after recent heavy rains hitting the UAE, incluiding Dubai. If you notice growth like mildew on your ceiling, it's wise to take swift action but also consider seeking professional help. In the UAE, mold can quickly spread and worsen indoor air quality, potentially leading to health issues for your family.
First, I'd recommend taking some immediate steps: 1. Wear protective gear: Put on gloves, a face mask, and goggles before you start. The UAE's hot climate might make it harder to stay cool while you're working, but protecting yourself from mold spores is crucial. 2. Take photos: Document the area for reference in case you need to communicate with an inspector or insurance company later. 3. Cut off the source of moisture: If possible, turn off any water supply or air conditioning systems that might be contributing to the problem. However, given the spread and your kids' coughs, I strongly advise contacting professionals like those at Saniservice. They can help assess the situation properly and ensure a safe and effective remediation process in accordance with UAE standards. Their team is experienced in dealing with such issues in Dubai and can provide you with peace of mind. Remember, mold can release spores into the air which can cause respiratory issues, especially for children. The UAE does have regulations regarding indoor air quality and mold management, so it's best to stay compliant by having experts handle this for you. Call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com if you need immediate assistance. Don't wait; act fast to protect your family’s health and the integrity of your home. |
