Should I hire professionals to manage humidity?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness and mildew growing on the walls of our bedroom. The AC in my apartment seems to struggle keeping up with the humidity levels, even when running at full blast. My kids have been coughing more than usual lately and I’m worried it might be related to the indoor conditions. Should I consider hiring professionals to help manage the humidity levels, or is there a simpler solution I can try first?

Absolutely, the humidity issue you're experiencing could indeed be causing discomfort and potential health issues for your family. In Dubai and other parts of UAE, humidity levels can vary significantly due to climatic conditions and sometimes, as we've seen recently after heavy rains, it can spike considerably.
The persistent dampness and mildew growth on the walls suggest a higher than desirable indoor humidity level. This is not uncommon in our region given that high humidity can linger even with air conditioning units struggling to keep up. The coughing symptoms your kids are showing could very well be linked to these conditions, as respiratory issues are common in high-humidity environments. Given the situation, it would be prudent to consider professional help for a few reasons: 1. Compliance with UAE Standards: The indoor environment should comply with local building and health standards such as those set by the Dubai Municipality or the Abu Dhabi Urban Planning Council (UPOC). Professionals can ensure that your home meets these guidelines. 2. Expert Diagnosis: A professional environmental inspection company like ours at Saniservice can conduct a thorough assessment to determine the exact humidity level, identify sources of moisture, and recommend appropriate solutions tailored for UAE conditions. 3. Remediation Solutions: Based on our experience in Dubai, we often find that sealing gaps around windows, doors, and other areas can significantly reduce indoor moisture levels. Additionally, dehumidifiers or high-efficiency air conditioning systems might be necessary to maintain a healthy humidity level. 4. Preventing Future Issues: By addressing the current problem, you'll also prevent future occurrences such as structural damage from prolonged dampness and further health issues for your family.
