Should I hire pros for ceiling repairs after rain?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy rain last month, I noticed water stains starting to appear on the ceiling of our living room. We’ve lived in Dubai for two years now, and while we usually handle minor maintenance ourselves, this seems like it might be beyond what a DIY job can handle. Should I consider hiring professionals for cleaning and repairs, or is there a way to manage this myself that won’t cost an arm and a leg?

Absolutely, it's important to consider hiring professionals for ceiling repairs after heavy rain, especially considering the climate and regulations in the UAE. The first thing you should do is inspect the damage thoroughly. Look out for any signs of water seepage or dampness not only on the ceiling but also around windows, walls, and pipes. If you notice a significant amount of water stains, it's highly recommended to consult with certified building inspection professionals.
In Dubai, humidity can quickly cause mold growth if left unchecked, which is why we always recommend taking swift action to prevent further damage or health risks. Heavy rains are not uncommon in the UAE, especially during specific seasons, and knowing how to properly manage such situations is key. You should also be aware that under the Federal Law No. 32 of 1980 concerning Construction Works, any significant building defects must be reported to the relevant authorities. Considering your experience with minor maintenance tasks, it might be challenging to address this issue alone due to the potential for hidden damage or the need for specialized tools and techniques. Professionals can offer a comprehensive assessment and provide solutions that are compliant with local regulations. They will not only fix the visible damage but also ensure that no long-term issues arise. At Saniservice, we specialize in providing professional mold remediation and indoor air quality improvements.
