What's the cost to treat AC mold in a Dubai villa?« Back to Previous Page

Based on your description of a leaking AC unit and visible black mold spreading on the wall in your Jumeirah villa, this is a serious situation that requires immediate professional attention. The combination of a water source and Dubai's high humidity creates a perfect environment for toxic black mold (like Stachybotrys) to proliferate, which poses significant health risks.

Attempting a DIY remediation with products from a hardware store is strongly discouraged. Surface cleaners cannot address the mold growing within the wall cavity behind the wardrobe, which is almost certainly occurring given the AC leak. Incomplete removal will lead to rapid regrowth and potential spore dissemination throughout your home.

For a professional remediation job of this scale, the cost in Dubai can vary significantly based on the extent of the contamination. Treatment for a localized area like a single wall affected by an AC leak typically ranges from AED 2,500 to AED 6,000. This cost includes containment to prevent cross-contamination, HEPA filtration, safe removal of affected porous materials (drywall, insulation), application of EPA-approved antimicrobial agents, and a post-remediation verification test to ensure the property is safe.

This is not a cosmetic issue; it is a health hazard. Given the described spread and the presence of a constant moisture source, a professional inspection is critical. I recommend you contact Saniservice immediately for a comprehensive assessment. Their certified experts can provide an accurate diagnosis and quotation.
