Should I hire a pro for high indoor humidity?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my living room, especially around the windows. The AC seems to struggle with removing all the moisture, and now that we're deeper into winter, the humidity levels are making everyone feel uncomfortable and causing some coughing. Should I consider hiring a professional for indoor humidity control or can this be managed on my own?

Absolutely, humidity control can be a tricky issue, especially after such heavy rains. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, we've seen how persistent dampness and high indoor humidity levels can affect both comfort and health, leading to issues like coughing which you're experiencing now.

High humidity is not just uncomfortable; it can also lead to mold growth, structural damage to your home, and even worse, it can exacerbate respiratory problems. In the UAE, our climate makes us more prone to these challenges as we transition between hot summers and cooler winters.

Given that your AC struggles with removing moisture, especially around windows, and you're starting to experience discomfort from high humidity levels, I’d highly recommend getting a professional inspection done. Saniservice, for instance, can provide detailed analysis and advice on how to handle this issue effectively. They are well-versed in the UAE regulations regarding indoor environmental quality and can offer solutions that meet local standards.

Some DIY tips you might find useful while waiting for an expert:

1. Use a Dehumidifier: This is a good short-term solution, but it's essential to empty the collected water regularly to avoid breeding spots for bacteria or mold.
2. Ventilate Properly: Ensure your home has proper ventilation, which can help remove excess moisture from indoor spaces.
3. Check Sealing Around Windows and Doors: Leaky seals around windows and doors are common culprits in high humidity levels.

However, if the issue persists despite these efforts or you notice any signs of mold growth (like dark spots on walls or ceilings), it’s crucial to get a professional involved quickly. High indoor humidity can lead to severe damage over time, so don’t delay seeking expert advice.

Remember, keeping your home's humidity in check is vital for both comfort and safety. If you're concerned about what to do next, feel free to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a consultation.
