Should I hire a pro to fix humid closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a damp smell lingering in my bedroom closet. Despite running the dehumidifier all day, it doesn’t seem to be making much of a difference. The closet is usually closed off from other rooms but does get quite humid inside, especially after showers or when there’s moisture seeping through the walls. Should I just keep using the dehumidifier, or do I need to look into hiring a professional to fix this issue?

Absolutely, it sounds like your closet is experiencing more than just humidity and could be an indicator of a larger moisture issue. In dubai, uae, we often face challenges related to high humidity especially during the monsoon season or from seepage through walls due to varying weather conditions.

First off, i'd recommend keeping up with using your dehumidifier as it can still help in managing some of the excess moisture. However, if you notice the smell persists despite running the machine for extended periods, it's definitely a sign that something more needs to be addressed.

In dubai and the uae, regulations regarding indoor air quality are stringent with the aim of ensuring comfort and health for residents. The lingering damp smell could indicate mold growth, which is not only unpleasant but can pose serious health risks such as respiratory issues.

Given your situation, it would be wise to call in a professional service provider like saniservice at 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com . They have the expertise and tools to properly assess the moisture levels, identify any mold growth, and recommend appropriate remediation steps.

Moreover, they can help you understand if there are underlying issues such as faulty plumbing or structural problems causing water seepage. Addressing these root causes is crucial for long-term solutions.

Remember, while running a dehumidifier might provide temporary relief, professional intervention ensures not only the removal of mold but also the prevention of its recurrence by addressing any moisture-related issues in your home. Don't wait until the smell worsens or you start experiencing health concerns; take proactive steps now to maintain indoor air quality and ensure a healthier living environment for yourself and your family.

If you decide to call saniservice, mention that you've noticed persistent dampness after rain and are concerned about potential mold growth due to high humidity in your closet. They'll provide detailed assessments and recommendations tailored to the unique climate conditions of dubai and the uae.
