Should indoor air issue affect my unit?« Back to Previous Page

Indoor air issues can indeed affect your living space and should be taken seriously. Dubai and the UAE have stringent building codes and regulations to ensure a healthy indoor environment for residents. However, if you've heard about an issue with indoor air quality in a neighboring apartment, it’s wise to take precautionary measures.

Firstly, understand that while the neighboring unit may experience problems due to factors like mold growth, leaks, or improper ventilation, this doesn’t necessarily mean your unit is affected. Yet, given the close proximity and shared infrastructure such as HVAC systems, it's prudent to stay vigilant.

Start by ensuring your apartment has proper air circulation. Check if any vents are blocked or filters need cleaning. If you notice unusual smells, discoloration on walls, or signs of moisture like condensation, these could be early indicators of an issue that needs attention.

It’s highly recommended to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. They can assess the situation and provide guidance based on their experience in Dubai's climate and building conditions. Early detection often leads to easier remediation and cost savings.

In the meantime, you can take some basic steps:
• Inspect your apartment regularly for any signs of moisture or mold.
• Use dehumidifiers if necessary, especially in rooms prone to dampness.
• Keep an eye on humidity levels; they should ideally stay below 60% to prevent mold growth.
• Ensure your home is well-sealed against drafts and ensure there’s no leakage from nearby units.

Remember, while these steps can help mitigate risks, a professional inspection will provide peace of mind. Don’t hesitate to seek expert advice if you have any concerns.
