Need professional mold removal and AC leak fix in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

We've lived in our villa in Jumeirah for 2 years and just noticed a patch of black mold spreading on the ceiling in the master bedroom, probably from a slow AC leak. I tried wiping it with vinegar but it came back worse after a week. Is this something I need to call a professional company like Servicemark for, and what’s a realistic price range to get it properly removed and the leak fixed?

Yes, you need a professional for both the mold remediation and the AC leak repair. The mold returned because vinegar only addresses surface discoloration, not the root colony or the moisture source. In Dubai's humid climate, any unchecked water intrusion leads to rapid regrowth.

A proper remediation involves isolating the area, removing contaminated materials like drywall or insulation, and using specialized equipment like HEPA vacuums and air scrubbers to capture spores. The AC leak must be identified and sealed by a certified HVAC technician. Without fixing the leak, any mold treatment is temporary.

Costs for professional remediation vary significantly based on the extent of the damage. A small, contained patch is a straightforward project, while a larger infestation that has spread into the ceiling void or insulation will be more complex. You should budget for two separate services: the mold remediation and the AC repair. Always request a detailed, on-site assessment and a scope of work that includes post-remediation verification to ensure the issue is resolved.
