How much does mold removal cost in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed some mold growing on the walls of my apartment, particularly in the bedroom. It’s a bit concerning because there are also musty odors that won’t go away. Should I hire professionals to assess and remove it or is DIY sufficient? What are the typical costs for such services in Dubai?

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, mold removal costs can vary significantly based on several factors including the extent of contamination, type of material affected, and the method of remediation. For a more precise estimate, it's advisable to consult professionals who specialize in indoor environmental quality (IEQ) assessments.

The costs for professional mold remediation services in Dubai can range widely. A basic assessment alone might start from around 1000 dirhams ($275 USD), depending on the size of the area and whether a mold test is required. For actual removal, costs could climb to anywhere between 3000 to 8000 dirhams ($825 - $2175 USD) for small to medium-sized areas.

The methodology used in Dubai can include both wet methods (which involve the use of water and chemicals to clean or remove mold) and dry methods (using HEPA vacuum cleaners, fans, and other equipment to control spore distribution). The choice between these depends on the severity of the situation. In some cases, especially when there's extensive mold growth or structural damage, a combination approach might be necessary.

It is important to note that in Dubai, as per the UAE building code (UAE Federal Law No. 15 of 1986), buildings must meet certain standards for indoor air quality and health protection from biological pollutants like molds. Thus, ensuring compliance with these regulations during remediation is crucial.

Given the specifics you mentioned - mold growth in your bedroom after rain and persistent musty odors - it would be prudent to engage a professional service. They can conduct a thorough inspection, identify the source of moisture (which could stem from plumbing issues or other factors), and provide an effective solution that includes not only immediate remediation but also long-term prevention strategies.

For prompt assistance in Dubai, you may reach out to companies like Saniservice through their 800-MOLDS hotline or email at hello@saniservice.com. They offer comprehensive services tailored to local conditions and regulations.

Remember, ignoring mold growth can lead to health issues and structural damage over time. Therefore, addressing it promptly is key.
