How much does mold remediation cost in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange musty smell coming from the closet in my master bedroom. The walls seem damp, and there's some mildew forming on the back of the closet door. Given how long this has been going on—about two months now—I’m considering whether it’s worth hiring professionals or if a DIY fix would be sufficient. What are typical costs for mold remediation in Dubai, and what signs should I look out for that indicate I need to hire experts?

Mold remediation costs can vary significantly depending on the extent of mold growth, the size of the affected area, and the materials required for restoration. In Dubai/UAE, a simple case might cost around 200 to 500 Dirhams (AED) per square meter if you're opting for DIY treatment or basic cleaning services. However, more severe cases with extensive mold growth may necessitate professional intervention which can range from AED 1,000 up to several thousand Dirhams depending on the complexity.

Typically, in Dubai, mold remediation includes a thorough inspection of the affected area to determine the extent and type of mold, followed by removal of contaminated materials. Professional services might also include application of antimicrobial treatments and proper disposal of waste. Additionally, if there's structural damage due to mold growth or water leakage, repairs can add significantly to the overall cost.

One important factor to consider is that in the UAE, especially Dubai, regulations regarding indoor air quality are stringent. If you notice a musty smell, dampness, or mildew forming on surfaces, it’s crucial to investigate further because prolonged exposure could pose health risks. Furthermore, some mold species can be highly toxic and require specialized handling.

Given these considerations, if the mold issue in your master bedroom has persisted for two months, I strongly advise seeking a professional inspection before attempting any DIY solutions.
