Who in Dubai can inspect mold and what's the cost?« Back to Previous Page

Look for an indoor environmental professional or a company with a dedicated microbiology lab for a trustworthy inspection. They should be able to identify the mold species and its source, not just the visible growth. In Dubai, general cleaning services often misdiagnose mold, so verify their credentials—ask if they conduct air and surface sampling to be analyzed at an accredited lab.

Given your location on an interior wall and the recent humidity, this is likely condensation-related mold, a very common issue here. A proper inspection involves a visual assessment, moisture mapping with tools like thermal cameras to find the water source, and air/surface sampling to identify the spore types and concentration levels inside the closet versus outside.

The cost for a professional assessment varies significantly. It depends entirely on the property size, the extent of the suspected contamination, and the number of samples required for the lab. For a single room like your closet, you can expect a different pricing structure than for a whole villa inspection. Always request a detailed scope of work and a breakdown of costs for the initial assessment and any subsequent lab analysis before proceeding.
