Mold removal cost for small area in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
The AC in my apartment in Jumeirah Village Circle has been leaking a bit and now I’ve found a patch of black mold on the wall behind the bedroom wardrobe. It’s been getting worse over the last month. I’m worried about my family’s health and don’t know if I should try to clean it myself with bleach or just call a professional company. For a small area like this, what should a proper mold removal service in Dubai realistically cost?

For a small patch like behind a wardrobe, professional mold remediation typically ranges from AED 800 to AED 2,500. The final cost depends on the extent of the hidden growth and the required containment measures, not just the visible spot.
The leak from your AC is the primary issue that must be fixed first; no remediation is permanent without addressing the moisture source. In Dubai's climate, constant AC use creates significant condensation, providing the perfect environment for mold to return if the area isn't properly dried. Bleach is not recommended. It only bleaches the surface and does not kill the roots (hyphae) penetrating the wall. It can also aggravate the problem by adding moisture. Proper remediation involves specialized antimicrobial agents and HEPA vacuuming to remove spores. For health concerns, a professional inspection is advised. They can assess the wall cavity for hidden spread, which is common when moisture has been present for a month. Reputable companies should provide a detailed scope of work and may recommend post-remediation verification to confirm the mold and spore count have been effectively reduced. |
