Should I hire a pro for closet mold removal cost?« Back to Previous Page

Our master bedroom closet in our Marina apartment has been smelling damp for a while, and I finally pulled everything out to find black spots all over the back wall. It must have been slowly growing since the humidity really kicked in a couple of months ago. I'm worried about our health and ruining our clothes. For a job like this in a tricky spot, is it worth calling a professional mold removal company, and what should I realistically expect to pay?

Based on your description of a persistent damp smell and visible black spots on the wall, this is a clear case requiring professional intervention. In Dubai's climate, particularly in coastal areas like Marina, high humidity and year-round AC use create perfect conditions for mold growth inside walls and closets, where condensation often forms unseen. A DIY approach with surface cleaners is ineffective and can aerosolize spores, worsening the contamination and potential health risks.

For a master bedroom closet remediation, the cost is influenced by the extent of the infestation behind the wall. We must follow UAE regulations and best practices, which mandate full containment of the area with negative air pressure to prevent cross-contamination. The process involves removing affected drywall, treating the cavity with industrial-grade biocides, installing new moisture-resistant plasterboard, and applying antimicrobial coatings. For a job of this nature, you should realistically expect a professional cost ranging from AED 2,500 to AED 5,000, depending on the square footage and structural damage found during the inspection.

I strongly recommend a certified inspection to assess the full scope. For immediate advice and a precise quote, call our specialists at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.
