Need professional mold removal for closet and cost estimate?« Back to Previous Page

We've lived in our villa in Jumeirah for 2 years and just noticed a large patch of black mold in the corner of our master bedroom closet, probably from the last humid spell. We keep the AC running but it’s clearly not enough. I'm worried about my family's health and the cost. Is this a job for a professional mold remediation company, and roughly how much should I expect to pay for a small area like this?

Based on your description, this is a professional job. In Dubai's climate, high humidity and constant AC use create significant condensation issues, especially in enclosed spaces like closets where airflow is restricted. The presence of a "large patch" indicates an established colony that is likely releasing spores, posing a health risk to your family.

A professional remediation is strongly advised. The process is technical: it begins with a comprehensive inspection using moisture meters and thermal imaging to identify the full extent of the moisture source and any hidden mold growth within the wall cavity. The area is then contained under negative air pressure with HEPA filtration to prevent cross-contamination during the remediation. The mold is removed using specialized biocides and antimicrobial coatings approved for use in the UAE. Finally, the root cause—likely condensation from the AC or a minor leak—must be identified and rectified to prevent recurrence.

For a closet of the size you describe, the cost can vary depending on the severity and if the drywall needs replacement. For a contained area, you can expect a professional remediation cost to start from approximately AED 1,500 to AED 3,500. This typically includes the inspection, containment, removal, and a post-remediation verification test to ensure the space is safe.

I highly recommend you get a professional assessment. For an accurate diagnosis and a firm quote, please contact our certified specialists at Saniservice. Call 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for a detailed inspection and remediation plan.
