Mold behind wardrobe: professional removal cost in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed a bunch of black spots spreading on the wall behind our bedroom wardrobe in Jumeirah Park. It's definitely mold, probably from the AC unit. I'm worried about my family's health and the cost of fixing it. Is this a job for a professional mold removal company, and roughly how much should I expect to pay for an inspection and treatment for a room this size?

The mold behind your wardrobe is a common issue in Dubai homes, particularly in Jumeirah Park where high humidity and year-round AC use create significant condensation. This is a job for a professional, as the visible spots are likely just the tip of the iceberg; the structure behind the wall may be affected.
For a single room, the cost is determined by the extent of the hidden damage and the required remediation method, not just the visible area. You should budget for two separate services: a proper inspection and the actual remediation work. The inspection, which should include moisture mapping and possibly air or surface sampling, is crucial to define the scope. The remediation cost itself can vary widely based on whether the drywall needs replacement or if the mold is limited to the surface. Always request a detailed assessment and a written scope of work before any treatment begins. A reputable company will explain the source of the moisture (often a leaking AC drain line or condensation) and their plan to address it, not just remove the visible mold. They should also provide a post-remediation verification report to confirm the job is complete. For accurate pricing, you will need to get assessments from a few licensed providers. |
