Should I hire a professional for shower mold in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
We've lived in our Jumeirah Park villa for two years and just noticed some black and green mold spreading in the grout between the tiles in the master bathroom shower. It's worse in the corners and seems to be growing behind the silicone sealant too. I'm worried about the health of my family and the damage it might be doing. Should I hire a professional mold remediation company here in Dubai, and what's the typical cost range for a job like this?

Based on the description of your situation in your Jumeirah Park villa, I strongly recommend hiring a professional mold remediation company. The presence of black and green mold spreading behind silicone sealant indicates a persistent moisture issue that has likely penetrated beyond the surface. This is a common issue in Dubai due to our high humidity levels and the year-round reliance on air conditioning, which can create significant condensation problems if not properly managed.
A DIY approach with surface cleaners is insufficient for this type of infestation, as it will not address the root moisture problem or the mold growing within the porous grout and behind materials. Spores can become airborne during improper cleaning, posing a health risk to your family. A professional inspection is critical to assess the full extent of the contamination, identify the moisture source (which could be a hidden leak or chronic condensation), and develop a protocol for safe, effective removal in accordance with UAE health and safety guidelines. For a master bathroom shower remediation, costs in Dubai can vary based on the severity and square footage affected. A typical range for a contained area like this is between AED 1,500 to AED 4,000. This includes a full assessment, containment, professional-grade antimicrobial treatment, removal of compromised sealant, and application of new, mold-resistant sealants. For a definitive assessment and a precise quote, I advise you to contact our specialists at Saniservice.
