Should I hire professionals for bedroom odor and asthma concerns?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell in our bedroom, and my daughter has been coughing more than usual. Given that we’ve lived here for two years and just noticed this issue, should I consider hiring professional cleaning services to address both the odor and potential asthma triggers? What can be expected in terms of cost and how thorough are these services typically?

Absolutely, it would be wise to consider hiring professionals for addressing the musty smell and asthma concerns in your bedroom. In Dubai and the UAE, indoor air quality is a significant concern, especially post-rainfall which can lead to moisture accumulation and the proliferation of mold.

Given that you've only just noticed this issue after two years of living there, it's possible that the source of the odor could be due to hidden water damage or mold growth. This can pose serious health risks, particularly for individuals with asthma like your daughter. The UAE has strict building codes but also requires regular maintenance and inspections to ensure compliance.

Given these factors, a professional inspection is highly recommended. These experts will conduct thorough tests and identify any potential sources of moisture, mold, or other allergens that could be contributing to the musty smell and your daughter's increased coughing. They can offer tailored solutions based on their findings, which might include cleaning, dehumidification, or even more extensive remediation work.

Regarding costs, professional services can range widely depending on the extent of the issue identified. Typically, an initial consultation is free, followed by detailed proposals for any required work. Expect to pay between AED 1000 and AED 5000 for a comprehensive inspection and cleaning service, with prices varying based on the severity of the problem.

For more immediate relief from the musty smell, you can start by improving ventilation in your bedroom. Open windows when possible or use exhaust fans to reduce moisture buildup. However, this is just a temporary measure; addressing the root cause will be necessary for long-term health benefits.

If you decide to proceed with professional services, don't hesitate to reach out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email them at hello@saniservice.com. They offer reliable and efficient solutions tailored to the local environment in Dubai.

Remember, maintaining a healthy indoor environment is crucial for everyone's well-being but especially important for those with respiratory conditions like asthma. Taking proactive steps now can prevent more serious issues down the line.
