Should I seek professional help for mold?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent musty smell in my bedroom that won’t go away. My son has also started having mild wheezing at night. Given our recent move to Dubai, we’re trying to handle everything ourselves but are unsure if we can manage this on our own or if we need professional help with cleaning and asthma triggers. Do you have any advice or recommend any services here in the UAE?

Absolutely, seeking professional help for mold is crucial especially given the recent rains and your concerns. Mold can indeed trigger asthma symptoms and other respiratory issues. In Dubai, we've seen a fair share of moisture-related problems due to the climate and sometimes unexpected rainfall.
It's important to understand that while you may be able to handle some cleaning tasks on your own, mold remediation often requires specific knowledge and equipment. The UAE doesn't have strict regulations on mold removal, but it's wise to follow best practices to ensure thorough and safe cleanup. Professional services can provide peace of mind knowing the job is done right. If the smell in your bedroom won't go away or if you notice visible signs like discoloration or growth, it could be a sign of active mold. The first step should always be to assess the severity of the problem. You might consider having a certified mold inspector come take a look; they can identify and test for mold presence and advise on the extent of remediation required. For immediate steps you can take, ensure good ventilation in your home, especially after rain or during humid periods. Use fans or dehumidifiers to keep the air dry. Regular cleaning with bleach or other disinfectants can also help prevent mold growth. However, if the issue persists, it’s highly recommended to contact a professional. Saniservice is one of the companies we recommend in Dubai for their expertise and quality service. You can call them at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for more information or an inspection quote. Remember, dealing with mold isn't just about cleaning; it's also about ensuring the safety of your family’s health. Always keep in mind that while you can take some initial steps to manage moisture and clean up visible mold, professional help is often necessary for thorough remediation. |
