Where to get AC mold professionally cleaned in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
Our bedroom AC unit in our Jumeirah Village Circle apartment has been leaking a bit for the last couple of months, and now I’ve spotted black patches of mold starting to spread on the wall behind the curtain. My husband and I have both been waking up with stuffy heads and sore throats, and I’m really worried it’s the mold making us sick. What’s the best way to get this professionally cleaned and treated here in Dubai to make sure it’s completely gone and safe?

Based on the symptoms you describe—stuffy heads and sore throats—and the visible black patches, it is highly probable that you are dealing with a mold infestation secondary to your AC unit's condensation leak. In Dubai's climate, where high external humidity forces us to run AC systems year-round, such leaks create a perpetual source of moisture, the primary catalyst for microbial growth. The wall cavity behind the unit is a classic problem area where condensation is not properly drained, leading to saturated insulation and drywall.
For a situation like this in Jumeirah Village Circle, a professional remediation process is strongly advised. DIY cleaning is insufficient as it only addresses surface contamination, not the mycotoxins and spores embedded within the porous building materials. The correct protocol involves a certified inspection to determine the full extent of the contamination, often using moisture meters and borescopes to inspect inside the wall. Remediation then requires containment of the area with negative air pressure to prevent cross-contamination, followed by the removal and safe disposal of all affected porous materials (drywall, insulation). The remaining structures must then be thoroughly HEPA-vacuumed and treated with EPA-approved antimicrobial agents. For a complete and guaranteed resolution, I recommend contacting our specialists at Saniservice. Our certified technicians are trained in the latest remediation protocols and can also coordinate with your building's FM to rectify the underlying AC leak, which is a critical step to prevent recurrence.
