How to get management to fix moldy AC leak permanently?« Back to Previous Page

The situation you're describing is a serious health and building integrity issue. That black stain is a clear sign of active mold growth, and the persistent coughing in your children is a major red flag that shouldn't be ignored. The root cause is a clogged AC drain line or a faulty condensate pump, and simply emptying the bucket is completely unacceptable.

In Dubai, building management has a legal responsibility under the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) and Dubai Municipality regulations to maintain a healthy and safe living environment. A chronic water leak leading to microbial growth is a direct violation of these standards.

To escalate this effectively, you must move from verbal requests to formal, documented communication. Send a detailed email to the property manager and building owner (or owners' association), copying (CC) your personal email for a record. State the facts: the duration of the leak, the visible black mold growth on the ceiling, and the adverse health effects (your children's persistent cough). Explicitly mention that temporary mitigation is insufficient and you demand a permanent repair of the AC drain line, followed by a professional mold assessment and remediation of the affected ceiling.

Given the confirmed health symptoms and visible growth, I strongly recommend a professional inspection. We can provide a certified report detailing the extent of the contamination, which serves as powerful evidence for management and is often required for proper remediation.
