Professional needed for Dubai Marina AC mold?« Back to Previous Page

Based on your description of a large black mold patch spreading from an AC leak in your Dubai Marina apartment, I strongly recommend you engage a professional mold remediation company immediately. This is not a DIY situation.

The issue you describe is significant. The leak has been ongoing, providing a constant moisture source, and the mold has colonized the wall cavity behind the wardrobe. This indicates a substantial infestation that simple surface cleaning cannot address. In Dubai's high humidity, mold spores will continue to proliferate, posing potential health risks, especially respiratory issues, and causing structural damage to the building materials.

A professional assessment is critical. Certified inspectors, like those at Saniservice, use moisture meters, thermal imaging cameras, and air/surface sampling to determine the full extent of the contamination, including inside the wall and the AC unit itself, which is a common reservoir for spores. Remediation involves containing the area with negative air pressure, safely removing contaminated porous materials (drywall, carpet backing), HEPA vacuuming, and applying professional-grade antimicrobial agents. Finally, the root cause—the AC leak—must be repaired to prevent recurrence.

For a contained bedroom issue in an apartment, costs can vary based on the infestation's severity but typically range from AED 2,500 to AED 6,000+. This includes inspection, remediation, and a post-clearance test to ensure the environment is safe.
