Mold behind wardrobe: DIY or professional cost in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

Based on your description, this is a situation that absolutely requires professional assessment and remediation. A leaking AC unit in Dubai's high humidity climate is a significant moisture source, and the visible mold on the wardrobe is almost certainly just the tip of the iceberg. The mold will likely have spread within the wall cavity, which you cannot effectively address with a surface-level DIY treatment like bleach. Bleach is ineffective on porous materials and can actually aggravate the problem by adding moisture.

The cost for professional mold remediation in Dubai for a case like this depends on the extent of the contamination behind the wall. For a localized area stemming from an AC leak, you can expect a realistic price range to be between AED 2,000 to AED 5,000. This typically includes containment of the area to prevent cross-contamination, safe removal of affected building materials (drywall, insulation), HEPA vacuuming, antimicrobial treatment of the cavity, and verification testing to ensure the spore count has returned to acceptable levels.

Given the persistent humidity and the AC's role, simply cleaning the visible patch will result in rapid regrowth. A professional company like Saniservice will also identify and rectify the root cause—the AC leak and potential condensation issues—to prevent recurrence.
