How to properly inspect and fix AC leak mold in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
The AC in my apartment in Jumeirah Village Circle has been leaking a little bit for a couple of months, and now we’re seeing black spots on the wall behind the bedroom curtain. I’m really worried it’s mold, especially with the humidity creeping up again. What’s the best way to get a proper inspection to find the source and make sure it doesn’t come back after cleaning?

Based on your description of a persistent AC leak and visible black spots on the wall in JVC, a professional mold inspection is strongly recommended. In Dubai's climate, where high humidity and year-round AC use create perfect conditions for mold, what you see is often just the surface manifestation of a larger problem within the wall cavity.
A proper inspection by a certified company like Saniservice involves several technical steps. First, we conduct a visual assessment to map the extent of visible growth and identify the moisture source—in your case, the AC condensate drain line is the primary suspect. We then use specialized equipment, including moisture meters to quantify water content within the drywall and thermal imaging cameras to identify hidden condensation and leaks not visible to the naked eye. To confirm the type of mold and assess the indoor air quality, we perform air and surface sampling, which is analyzed in an accredited laboratory. It is critical to address both the symptom and the source. Simply cleaning the visible mold will be a temporary fix if the underlying moisture issue from the leaking AC unit is not resolved. Remediation must include repairing the AC leak, removing and replacing any water-damaged porous materials like drywall and insulation, and thorough hygienization of the area with EPA-approved antimicrobial solutions. For a comprehensive inspection and a guaranteed remediation plan to ensure the mold does not return, please contact our specialists.
