Should we hire professionals to clean our shared living room?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed water stains forming on the ceiling of our living room, which we share with another family. It's quite concerning, especially since the kids have been coughing more frequently lately. Should we consider hiring professional cleaners to address this issue and keep the shared spaces safe and healthy?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider hiring professionals for such an issue. In the UAE, specifically in Dubai, water stains and dampness can lead to a multitude of issues including structural damage and mold growth—both of which are major concerns especially when children are around.

In your situation, I’d recommend getting in touch with professional cleaners or environmental inspectors. The Abu Dhabi Executive Council Regulation No. 20 of 2016 on Building Maintenance and Safety Management highlights the importance of maintaining building structures to prevent water damage. If there's a persistent issue, it’s crucial to address it promptly before any further complications arise.

Firstly, you should look for a reputable company that specializes in environmental inspection and remediation. Companies like Saniservice (contact them via 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com) are well-known for their expertise. They can perform a thorough assessment to determine the extent of the damage and recommend appropriate cleaning and restoration methods.

Additionally, it’s important to ensure that the professional team uses safe and effective cleaning products that do not harm your health or the environment. For instance, they should employ biocides and disinfectants approved by relevant authorities in Dubai such as the Dubai Municipality.

Keep in mind, addressing this issue quickly is key. Delay can lead to an increase in mold spores which are notorious for triggering respiratory issues like coughing and allergies—especially in children. So, do not wait too long before taking action.

In summary, given the potential risks associated with water damage and mold growth, it’s highly advisable to hire professionals who can handle this situation effectively and ensure that your shared living space remains safe and healthy. Don't hesitate to reach out for a consultation or service as soon as possible.
