How much to fix mold in bathroom?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the rain last month, I noticed a greenish-black mold growing around the shower tiles near the window in my master bathroom. It’s been there for about two weeks now, and it really doesn’t look like we can clean it ourselves. How much would it typically cost to hire professionals to fix this, and are there any signs that suggest it might need urgent attention?

Addressing mold issues in bathrooms can be complex due to the high humidity and moisture content typically found. The amount it would cost to fix mold in a bathroom depends on several factors such as the severity of the infestation, the extent of affected areas, and any underlying moisture issues that need addressing.
In Dubai/UAE, regulations require prompt action when dealing with mold, especially if it's visible or grows larger than 10 square centimeters. The UAE Ministry of Municipality and Public Works (MoMPW) guidelines emphasize proactive measures to prevent the spread of mold. Given your situation, a professional inspection would be highly recommended. Typical costs for mold remediation can range from AED 2,500 to AED 10,000 or more depending on the scope of work. This includes not only removing and treating the visible mold but also addressing any potential water leakage issues that may have caused it. For instance, in your case with a greenish-black mold around shower tiles near a window, moisture could be seeping from outside into the bathroom through poorly sealed windows or gaps. For accurate assessment and treatment, you should contact a certified environmental inspection and remediation company like Saniservice. They can conduct a thorough inspection to identify all sources of moisture and ensure that they are properly addressed before mold treatment. This might include checking for leaks in plumbing or roof, ensuring proper ventilation, and even adjusting the climate control settings if necessary.
