Is AED 2,500 fair for small mold treatment?« Back to Previous Page

That price seems high for treating a single patch of mold, especially without a detailed inspection and lab report to confirm the extent. In Dubai, costs can vary widely based on the company's methodology and whether they include proper diagnostics.

For a suspected AC leak, the first step isn't treatment—it's identifying the moisture source and the mold species. A slow leak could have caused hidden damage inside the wall or under the flooring, which a surface treatment won't address. Your husband's symptoms are a significant indicator that professional assessment is needed.

Get at least two more quotes. Any reputable company should start with a thorough inspection, often including moisture mapping and air quality tests, before proposing a remediation scope. Ask if their quote includes identifying and repairing the leak source, containment to prevent spore spread during work, removal of affected materials, HEPA vacuuming, and post-remediation verification testing. A company with its own microbiology lab can provide the concrete evidence needed to ensure the problem is solved, not just covered up.
