Should I hire a pro to check air quality?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment seems to be running more than usual this summer, and I've started noticing a slight dampness around the corners of the living room. Given that we’ve been living here for two years and just finished painting our bedroom, I’m concerned about any potential mold or other health risks. Should I consider hiring a professional to check the air quality and address these concerns?

Absolutely, hiring a professional to check the air quality in your apartment would be prudent. In Dubai and the UAE, humidity levels can often spike during summer, leading to potential issues like mold growth which is particularly common after painting or when you notice dampness around corners.

Given that you've just finished painting your bedroom, it’s crucial to ensure that the environment remains dry to prevent any harmful microorganisms from forming. The UAE doesn’t have strict regulations specifically for indoor air quality in private homes, but it's important to follow general health and safety guidelines to protect yourself and your family.

A professional inspection can help you identify not just mold issues, but also other potential hazards such as high levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from newly applied paint or adhesives. These can affect indoor air quality and potentially cause respiratory problems, especially for those with allergies or asthma.

If you notice any musty odors or see signs of moisture, it’s wise to act quickly. Mold thrives in damp environments and can produce spores that are harmful when inhaled. It's important to address these issues before they escalate into more serious health risks.

I would recommend contacting a professional service like Saniservice at 800-MOLDS or emailing hello@saniservice.com. They have the expertise and tools to conduct thorough assessments and provide remediation if necessary. Remember, early detection is key in maintaining good indoor air quality and ensuring your home environment remains safe for you and your family.

In Dubai and the UAE, it's also a good idea to ensure proper ventilation throughout the year, but especially during summer months when humidity levels can be quite high. Regular checks on the AC system and any potential water leaks or areas of dampness are essential steps in maintaining healthy living conditions.

Don’t hesitate to take action; your health is paramount!
