For a situation of this scale, especially with health impacts already evident, a professional remediation team is necessary. They will contain the area with physical barriers and use HEPA-filtered negative air machines to prevent cross-contamination during the removal process. The wall material itself likely needs to be cut out and replaced to ensure the mold is fully removed, not just surface-cleaned.

To verify the environment is safe afterwards, insist on third-party clearance testing. This is a separate, post-remediation air and surface sample analysis conducted by an independent assessor to confirm spore counts are back to normal levels. In Dubai, reputable companies should be able to provide this service and their technicians often hold IICRC or equivalent certifications for mold remediation.

Contact your building management immediately; under Dubai’s rental regulations, they are typically responsible for addressing the underlying leak and the resulting structural damage. For the fastest response, look for local providers who offer emergency response and can mobilize a team quickly.
