Should I use dehumidifiers or call a specialist?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my bedroom, even though I keep the windows closed. The smell isn't too bad, but it’s been there for weeks now and my partner has started to feel slightly unwell. Should I try using some dehumidifiers myself or should I call in an HVAC specialist?

The situation you've described sounds like it could be due to a moisture issue, which is quite common after rain in Dubai. The UAE doesn't have specific regulations for indoor air quality but ensuring your home's environment remains healthy and safe should always be a priority.
Given that the dampness has persisted even with windows closed, I would recommend using dehumidifiers as an initial measure to help reduce moisture levels. Dehumidifiers can significantly lower the humidity in your bedroom, which might alleviate some of the discomfort you're experiencing. However, it's important to note that dehumidifiers alone may not fully address the underlying issue causing the dampness. It would be prudent to also call in a specialist for an inspection. A professional HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) technician or even a moisture management expert can diagnose the root cause of the problem, whether it's related to your home’s construction or ventilation system. They can advise on necessary repairs or additional measures you need to take. Remember, persistent dampness can lead to mold growth, which is not only unpleasant but also potentially harmful to health. Mold spores can exacerbate respiratory issues and trigger allergies in sensitive individuals like your partner. If you decide to use dehumidifiers, ensure they are properly sized for the space and maintained regularly to avoid any potential overflow or maintenance problems. Also, keep an eye on the moisture levels; if they remain high despite using a dehumidifier, it might be time to seek professional help sooner rather than later.
