Should I hire an expert for high humidity?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely, hiring an expert for high humidity issues can be really beneficial. In the UAE, especially in Dubai, high humidity levels are common and can lead to serious problems if not properly managed. The recent rainstorm has likely exacerbated this issue in your home.

In Dubai, you're subject to several regulations regarding indoor environmental quality that ensure your living space is safe and healthy. For instance, the Building Control Department (BCD) oversees compliance with building codes which include aspects related to humidity control. If unchecked, high humidity can lead to mold growth, structural damage, and a decrease in air quality.

Your symptoms of a damp smell coupled with persistent high humidity even when using a dehumidifier are clear indicators that there may be an underlying issue beyond just the dehumidifier’s capacity. This could be due to water ingress from the rain or leaks within your home, poor ventilation, or possibly inadequate insulation.

Given these conditions, I’d strongly advise hiring a professional indoor air quality expert who can provide a thorough assessment and recommend solutions specific to your situation. They will not only help identify the source of the high humidity but also offer practical remediation measures.

For instance, a professional inspection might include:
• Conducting a moisture survey
• Checking for water leaks or damage
• Assessing ventilation systems
• Recommending appropriate dehumidification and/or air conditioning solutions
