Reliable mold remediation company in Jumeirah? Cost?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been coughing and I suspect it's from the black mold I just found behind the wardrobe in our master bedroom in our Jumeirah villa. It's been extra humid lately and I think it's been spreading there unnoticed for a while. I'm worried about cleaning it myself and making it worse. Can anyone recommend a reliable company for mold remediation and give me a rough idea of what it might cost to treat a wall area about two meters wide?

Black mold growth behind furniture is common in Jumeirah villas due to high humidity and condensation from year-round AC use. The damp microclimate behind a wardrobe is a perfect breeding ground.

For a suspected case involving children's health, a professional inspection is strongly recommended before any remediation. The process involves identifying the moisture source, containing the area to prevent spore spread during removal, and treating the wall and any affected materials. The cost to treat a two-meter section is variable; it depends on the mold's penetration depth into the wall and whether the drywall or plaster needs replacement. You should request a detailed assessment and quote from a certified provider.

Look for a company that follows IICRC S520 standards for mold remediation. The most reliable firms will conduct pre- and post-remediation testing to verify the area is truly clear of spores, not just visually clean. They should provide a scope of work and lab results from an independent microbiology lab. Avoid companies that only offer to spray and wipe without containment or verification.

For immediate steps, avoid disturbing the area and consider using a dehumidifier in the room to lower moisture levels.
