Need professional help for water-damaged carpet and mold?« Back to Previous Page

Based on your description, you absolutely need professional intervention. The soft floorboards indicate significant structural water absorption, and the persistent earthy smell is a classic sign of active microbial growth already occurring within the subfloor and carpet backing. In the UAE's climate, with its high humidity, this situation will escalate rapidly into a major mold infestation.

Attempting to dry this yourself with a consumer-grade dehumidifier is insufficient. The water has wicked up into the walls and subfloor cavity, creating a perfect breeding ground for mold spores that pose health risks, especially for children. Proper remediation requires industrial-grade equipment like LGR dehumidifiers, injectidry systems for wall cavities, and specialized antimicrobial treatments.

According to Dubai Municipality guidelines, water damage affecting structural elements requires assessment and remediation by certified professionals to ensure the property is returned to a safe and hygienic state. The cost for a professional restoration job like this can vary significantly based on the extent of the damage, but for a Majlis area, you should be prepared for a range starting from AED 3,500 upwards, which would include water extraction, structural drying, antimicrobial hygienization, and moisture verification checks.

Do not delay. We strongly recommend a professional inspection to assess the full scope. Please call us at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for an immediate assessment. Let's get this sorted before it becomes a much larger and more costly problem.
