Should management handle water damage or hire cleaners?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we had last month, I noticed a lot of water damage and mold starting to grow in our hotel's common areas. We’ve only been staying here for two months, but it’s really concerning. Should I consider hiring professional cleaning services or is this something that usually gets handled by the management?

Absolutely, it's understandable to feel concerned about the water damage and mold growth in your hotel. In Dubai, especially after heavy rains, we've seen an increase in similar cases where moisture can lead to serious issues if not addressed promptly.

It's generally a good idea to have professional cleaning services handle such situations, particularly given the regulations and standards specific to the UAE. Local laws like the Building Control Regulations (DOS 6) enforce strict guidelines on maintaining indoor air quality and preventing water damage. Non-compliance can result in fines and could affect your hotel's reputation.

I would recommend getting a thorough inspection from professionals who specialize in such issues, as they will have the necessary expertise to assess the extent of the damage and ensure it’s properly remediated according to UAE standards. Companies like Saniservice are well-regarded for their professional environmental inspections and remediation services, which can be contacted via 800-MOLDS or email at hello@saniservice.com.

In terms of immediate action, start by documenting the extent of the damage with photos and a written report to present to your hotel management. Highlight the potential health risks associated with mold growth and the importance of addressing it quickly. If the management insists on handling it internally, ensure they follow proper protocols including using appropriate cleaning agents and maintaining good ventilation.

Remember, early intervention is key in preventing further deterioration and protecting the well-being of all guests and staff. Taking proactive steps now can save you from bigger issues down the line.
