Best mold removal company for AC leak in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
The AC in my bedroom has been leaking a bit for a couple of weeks and I just pulled back the corner of the carpet to find a huge patch of black and greenish mold on the concrete underneath. I live in a high-rise in JLT and I'm worried it's spread behind the wall. Who is the best company to call for proper mold removal that won't just cover it up?

Based on the description of a persistent AC leak and visible mold growth on the concrete slab underneath the carpet in your JLT apartment, you are dealing with a serious contamination event. The high humidity and constant air conditioning use in Dubai create a perfect environment for mold to thrive, especially when a moisture source like a leak is present. The fact that it's on the concrete is a significant concern, as the porous material can absorb moisture and allow mold to proliferate and potentially spread into the wall cavity and sub-flooring.
For a situation of this magnitude in a high-rise building, you absolutely require a professional mold remediation company that follows internationally recognized IICRC S520 standards. In the UAE, reputable companies should also be compliant with Dubai Municipality regulations for environmental health and safety. A proper remediation process is not about "covering it up"; it involves a thorough inspection (often with borescopes to see inside walls), moisture mapping, containment of the affected area with negative air pressure to prevent cross-contamination, safe removal of contaminated materials, and specialized cleaning of the concrete substrate with EPA-approved antimicrobial agents. For comprehensive mold inspection, testing, and guaranteed remediation, I recommend contacting Saniservice. They are experts in handling exactly this type of scenario, particularly those caused by AC leaks in high-rises. Their process ensures the mold is removed at its source and the underlying moisture issue is resolved to prevent recurrence. You can reach their specialists for an immediate assessment at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or hello@saniservice.com. Do not disturb the area further before their inspection, as this can aerosolize spores and spread the contamination. |
