How much to remove mold behind wardrobe in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed a bunch of black spots spreading on the wall behind our bedroom wardrobe in Jumeirah Park. The AC is always on and it feels damp in there, and I'm worried it's making my allergies worse. I tried wiping it with vinegar but it came right back. What would a professional mold removal company in Dubai typically charge to fix something like this, and is it worth hiring them over trying to do it myself with stronger cleaners?

Based on the description of recurring black spots behind a wardrobe in Jumeirah Park, you are almost certainly dealing with a persistent mold colony, likely exacerbated by Dubai's high humidity and the constant cooling cycles of your AC unit, which creates significant condensation.
For a situation like this, a professional remediation company would not provide a flat rate without an inspection. The cost is determined by the extent of the hidden growth and the required remediation protocol. For a localized area behind a wardrobe, you could be looking at a range of AED 1,500 to AED 4,000+. This typically includes a detailed inspection with moisture meters and borescopes to assess the wall cavity, containment setup to prevent spore spread, HEPA filtration, antimicrobial treatment of the affected surfaces, and addressing the root cause—likely poor ventilation and a potential AC condensate issue. The vinegar failed because it only addresses surface discoloration, not the hyphae roots penetrating the porous wall material. Given your allergy symptoms and the recurrence, a DIY approach with stronger chemicals is strongly discouraged. It is ineffective for embedded growth and can be hazardous, releasing a high concentration of spores and toxic fumes into your living space without proper containment or safety gear. Dubai Municipality has guidelines for healthy indoor environments, and improper handling can violate these standards. The only way to get an accurate, fixed-price quote is through a professional inspection. I recommend contacting Saniservice for a comprehensive assessment. Their certified technicians can diagnose the exact cause, provide a transparent quotation for complete removal, and ensure it is done to the highest hygiene and safety standards.
