Should I test for indoor air quality?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a lingering dampness in my bedroom, even though it was on the top floor. The AC seems to cycle through this moisture, and now my kids have been coughing more frequently. Given how old our apartment is, should I consider hiring professionals to test and improve the indoor air quality?

Absolutely, you should consider hiring professionals to test your indoor air quality. The symptoms you're experiencing could be related to mold growth which is a common issue especially after heavy rains and poor ventilation. In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, our climate can create conditions conducive for moisture retention, leading to dampness even on upper floors.
Given that your apartment seems old, it’s crucial to address this as soon as possible. Regular maintenance isn’t always enough, and professional inspections are highly recommended. The Abu Dhabi Municipality and the Dubai Health Authority both have guidelines regarding indoor air quality, ensuring compliance with local standards is key for a healthy living environment. Indoor air quality issues can lead to respiratory problems like coughing, especially among children. It's important to identify any potential sources of mold or other pollutants promptly. Professional testing can help pinpoint these issues and provide recommendations tailored to your specific situation. To get started, you might want to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a free consultation and quote. Early intervention is key in ensuring your family's health isn’t compromised by poor air quality. Remember, the longer you wait, the more likely mold can spread and cause further damage. Don't ignore those symptoms; take proactive steps now to maintain a healthy living space for everyone. |
