Need professional mold removal for AC leak 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 back of the wardrobe where the wall is always cold. I tried wiping it with vinegar but it came right back within days. Is it worth hiring a professional mold removal company here in Dubai, and what’s a realistic price range to get a small area like this properly treated?

Based on your description, this is a classic case of mold growth due to condensation from an AC leak, a very common issue in Dubai's climate. The persistent high humidity, combined with a constant cold surface from the leaking unit, creates an ideal breeding ground for mold. The fact that the mold returned after a DIY vinegar treatment confirms the problem is established within the wall material, not just on the surface.
For a situation like this in Jumeirah Village Circle, hiring a professional remediation company is not just "worth it," it is essential. The primary reason is that the visible mold is likely just the tip of the iceberg. Moisture will have wicked into the gypsum board and possibly the insulation behind it. Professional remediation involves three critical steps we adhere to at Saniservice: First, identifying and rectifying the moisture source (the AC leak). Second, containing the affected area to prevent cross-contamination of spores during work. Third, the physical removal of contaminated porous materials (like the affected section of drywall) and the specialized HEPA vacuuming and antimicrobial treatment of the remaining structure to ensure complete eradication, not just surface cleaning. Regarding cost, for a localized patch as you describe, a realistic price range for proper professional remediation typically falls between AED 1,500 to AED 3,500. This would cover inspection, containment, removal of the affected materials, treatment, and verification that the space is safe. This is a wise investment to protect your health and your property. I strongly recommend you get a professional inspection to assess the full extent.
