AC mold causing allergies: call a pro for cost?« Back to Previous Page

Based on your description, this is a classic case of AC-induced mold growth, extremely common in Dubai due to the high humidity and constant air conditioning use. The black speckles are almost certainly mold, and the recurring AC leak is providing the continuous moisture necessary for it to thrive. Vinegar is a mild, temporary solution; it cannot address the root cause or the mycotoxins and spores that are likely aggravating your husband's allergies.

For a bedroom environment, where occupants spend significant time, professional remediation is not just recommended but essential. The mold behind the wardrobe indicates a hidden moisture problem. A certified inspection involves thermal imaging to map the full extent of the moisture and air sampling to identify the spore types and concentration levels, which is crucial for health concerns. DIY attempts can often disturb the colony, causing a significant release of allergens and spreading the problem.

Regarding cost in the UAE, a professional inspection for a villa typically ranges from AED 800 to AED 1,500. The remediation cost itself is highly variable, depending on the extent of the contamination. For a localized area like a single wall affected by an AC leak, you could be looking at a starting point of AED 2,000 to AED 4,000 for proper containment, removal, and hygienization. This is a necessary investment for your health and to prevent structural damage to your property.
