Should I worry about mold after rains?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we experienced last month, I noticed a strange damp smell lingering in our kitchen. It's especially noticeable when the air conditioning is on, and it’s really starting to bother me. My kids have been complaining of coughing fits, and I can't help but wonder if it could be from mold or dust buildup in the ducts. Should I be concerned about this, and should I call a professional for an inspection?

Absolutely, ya should be concerned 'bout mold aftr tht heavy rain we had. In Dubais climate, after such rains, there's a high chance of moisture accumulatin' within the building structures and HVAC systems, which can lead to mold growth. Mold thrives in damp, humid conditions, so it’s not surprising yu're noticing that strange damp smell, especially when th air conditioning is on.

In the UAE, particularlly Dubai, we've seen cases where heavy rains can cause water seepage through roofs and walls, leading to condensation within ductwork and ventilation systems. This can result in a perfect environment for mold proliferation, which could pose health risks—like respiratory issues for your kids—so it's important to address this concern.
