Should I hire pros to check air quality?« Back to Previous Page

Absolutely! In the UAE, especially during such wet seasons and considering your recent experience of heavy rains, it's wise to consider hiring professionals for an indoor air quality assessment. The musty smell you’re noticing could be a sign of mold growth which is quite common post-rainfall in Dubai’s humid climate. Mold can indeed cause allergic reactions like the ones your kids are experiencing—itchy eyes and sneezing fits.

The fact that your AC seems to be struggling more than usual also suggests there might be underlying issues with humidity levels or moisture build-up, both of which can affect air quality. Given you've only noticed these symptoms recently after living here for two years, it's not unusual but does indicate a need for a thorough inspection.

In Dubai and the UAE in general, indoor air quality standards are regulated by the Environment Agency - Abu Dhabi (EAD). While your building might comply with initial regulations, long-term issues like those you're experiencing could require additional measures to ensure compliance and improve comfort. The EAD recommends regular checks of IAQ which can be especially important during such weather changes.

Professional inspection companies like Saniservice, who are certified in the region, can provide a comprehensive assessment. They use advanced tools to detect mold, assess humidity levels, and check for other contaminants that might affect air quality. Their services include identifying sources of moisture, assessing HVAC systems, and recommending remedial actions if necessary.
