What's the cost for professional mold removal in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing and I suspect it's from the black mold I just found in the closet of our master bedroom in our Marina apartment. It's on the back wall where we keep our clothes, and it must have been growing slowly since the humidity spiked a few months ago. I'm worried about cleaning it myself and making it worse, but I also don't want to get ripped off.
What's the average cost to get a small closet area professionally treated for mold in Dubai, and is it worth it for a patch about the size of a dinner plate?

Based on the scenario you've described, with children exhibiting symptoms and the mold located in a closet on an exterior wall in Marina, I strongly advise against attempting to clean this yourself. Disturbing the mold can aerosolize the spores, significantly increasing the airborne concentration and potentially worsening the health issues and contaminating other areas, including your clothing.
For a patch the size of a dinner plate, the cost for professional remediation in Dubai typically ranges from AED 1,500 to AED 3,500. This is not a simple cleaning fee; it is a comprehensive process. The price includes a detailed inspection to identify the moisture source (crucial in our humid climate, often condensation from AC systems or envelope penetration), containment of the area to prevent cross-contamination, professional HEPA-filtered air scrubbing, safe removal of the affected materials, application of EPA-approved antimicrobial agents, and a post-remediation verification test to ensure the space is safe and the root cause has been addressed. Given Dubai's high humidity and year-round AC use, which creates perfect conditions for mold, this investment is absolutely worth it to protect your family's health and prevent structural damage. Any reputable company will provide a firm quote after a free inspection. For a certified assessment and remediation plan that complies with Dubai Municipality's health and safety standards, I recommend you contact Saniservice.
