Should I worry about dampness in my closet?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy rain last month, I noticed a persistent dampness in my bedroom closet. The smell is musty and it’s really worrying me because we’ve had this apartment for two years and have never experienced anything like this before. The kids have been complaining of coughing fits too. Is there something I should be doing to address the indoor air quality?

Absolutely, you should be concerned about the dampness in your closet. In Dubai and the UAE, humidity levels can often reach uncomfortable highs, especially during certain times of the year. Persistent dampness like what you're experiencing might not only lead to an unpleasant smell but could also indicate a more serious issue such as mold growth.
Mold is particularly problematic because it can produce allergens that may cause respiratory issues, coughing fits in kids and adults alike, and other health problems. The UAE has strict building codes and environmental regulations which include guidelines for indoor air quality (IAQ) to ensure occupant safety, but your situation might require a professional assessment. Given the duration of time since you first noticed the issue, it's crucial to take action now. A thorough inspection by an IAQ expert can help identify the root cause of the dampness and any potential mold growth. This will not only address the immediate concerns with air quality but also prevent future issues that could affect your family’s health.
