Can I remove AC mold myself or need a pro in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
Our bedroom wall behind the wardrobe has these blackish-green patches that we just noticed, probably from a slow AC leak we didn't catch. It's been there for at least a couple of months and the room has a damp smell that won't go away even after cleaning. Is this something I can tackle myself with bleach from ACE, or do I absolutely need to call in a professional mold removal company here in Dubai, and what kind of cost am I looking at for a single room?

Based on your description of blackish-green patches and a persistent damp smell, this is a serious case that requires professional attention. In Dubai's humid climate, what you see on the surface is often just the tip of the iceberg; the mold has likely penetrated the drywall and possibly the structure behind it, especially after a prolonged leak.
While bleach from ACE might remove the surface discoloration, it is ineffective at killing the root mold colony and can actually aggravate the problem by adding moisture. More critically, DIY attempts can disturb the mold, causing spores to become airborne and spread throughout your bedroom and HVAC system, posing significant health risks. For a situation like this, a professional inspection is non-negotiable. Our certified inspectors use thermal imaging and moisture meters to map the full extent of the damage, followed by air and surface sampling to identify the mold species—which is crucial for determining the correct remediation protocol. For a single room remediation of this nature in Dubai, you should budget between AED 2,500 to AED 5,500. This cost covers containment, safe removal of contaminated materials (like the affected drywall), advanced HEPA filtration, and antimicrobial treatment to ensure it doesn't return.
