Is this mold a job for professionals in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing and I suspect it might be from mold I just found behind the wardrobe in our master bedroom in our villa in Al Barsha. We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed it, probably from the humidity build-up, and it's spread to a patch about a meter wide. Is this a job for a professional mold remediation company, and what should I roughly expect to pay to have this properly treated?

Based on the description of your situation, this is absolutely a job for a professional mold remediation company in Dubai. A patch of mold one meter wide behind a wardrobe indicates a significant and established moisture problem, likely stemming from the high ambient humidity interacting with the villa's cold exterior walls, a common issue known as condensation in Dubai's climate. The fact that your children are exhibiting respiratory symptoms like coughing is a major red flag that should not be ignored, as certain mold species can produce allergens and irritants.
Attempting a DIY removal on this scale is not advisable. Inadequate containment can cause a massive release of spores throughout your home, exacerbating health issues and contaminating other areas. A certified professional will conduct a thorough inspection to identify the moisture source, assess the full extent of the contamination (which often spreads behind walls), and implement engineering controls like negative air pressure and HEPA filtration to safely remove the mold and prevent cross-contamination. For a job of this nature in a villa in Al Barsha, you can expect the cost for professional assessment and remediation to start from approximately AED 2,500 and can go higher depending on the depth of the infestation and the required containment measures. This investment ensures the problem is solved at its root, protecting your family's health and your property's integrity.
