Should I hire a pro for large black mold in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

We've lived in our villa in Al Barsha for 2 years and just noticed a big patch of black mold behind the wardrobe in our master bedroom. It must have been growing for ages and we only saw it after moving the furniture for cleaning. I'm really worried about my family's health and the damage to the wall. For a problem this size, should I just hire a professional mold removal company, and roughly how much would that cost in Dubai?

Based on your description of a large patch of black mold discovered behind a wardrobe in Al Barsha, my professional recommendation is unequivocally to hire a certified mold remediation specialist. This is not a situation for DIY solutions.

The UAE's hot and humid climate, combined with year-round air conditioning, creates a perfect environment for mold growth, particularly in areas with poor air circulation like behind furniture. The presence of a significant "black" patch suggests a long-term moisture issue, likely from condensation or a hidden seepage problem. Disturbing it during cleaning could have already released a significant number of spores into your bedroom air, posing a health risk to your family.

A professional company, like Saniservice, will not only remove the visible growth but also conduct a thorough inspection to identify and rectify the source of moisture—this is critical to prevent recurrence, as mandated by Dubai Municipality's public health and safety protocols. The remediation process involves containment of the area, use of HEPA filtration scrubbers to purify the air, and specialized antimicrobial treatments.

For a job of this nature in a villa, costs can vary based on the extent of the infestation and structural damage, but you should anticipate an investment in the range of AED 2,500 to AED 7,000+. This covers the comprehensive inspection, remediation, and post-clearance testing to ensure the environment is safe.
