What is the cost of mold removal in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed a large patch of black mold in the corner of our master bedroom closet, on the wall that faces the outside. It definitely got worse after the heavy dew last week. I'm worried about our health and damaging the apartment, but I'm not sure if this is a simple fix with bleach or if I need to call a company. For a job this size in a Dubai apartment, what should I realistically expect to pay for professional mold removal?

Based on the description of a large patch of black mold on an exterior wall that worsened after a humidity event, this is a serious concern that extends beyond a simple surface cleaning. The presence of mold on an exterior wall strongly suggests an underlying moisture issue, such as a hidden leak or, more commonly in Dubai, thermal bridging and condensation caused by the constant cycling of air conditioning against the high external heat and humidity.
For a professional remediation job of this nature in a Dubai apartment, costs are not typically flat-rated but are calculated based on the severity and square footage of the affected area. A contained remediation project for a localized area like a closet can range from AED 1,500 to AED 4,500. This cost includes a thorough inspection to identify the moisture source, containment setup to prevent cross-contamination, HEPA filtration, professional-grade antimicrobial application to treat the mold, and finally the removal and disposal of contaminated materials. Crucially, the process must address the root cause to prevent immediate recurrence. Applying bleach is highly discouraged as it is ineffective on porous surfaces and can exacerbate the problem by adding moisture. Given the potential health risks and property damage, a professional inspection is essential. Our certified inspectors at Saniservice use thermal imaging and moisture meters to accurately diagnose the source.
