Should I call building management or a pro for mold?« Back to Previous Page

Based on your description, this is a significant mold issue that requires immediate professional attention. The black spots spreading along an exterior wall, combined with persistent humidity despite AC use, strongly indicate a condensation problem exacerbated by Dubai's climate. This is a common issue where the temperature differential between the hot, humid outdoor air and the cooled interior air causes moisture to condense within the wall cavity, creating the perfect environment for mold growth.

You should contact a professional mold remediation company directly. While building management is responsible for the building's external envelope and structural integrity, the mold growth inside your unit and its remediation is typically the responsibility of the tenant or property owner, especially after two years of occupancy. A professional inspection is crucial to determine the source. The problem may be a leaking pipe, a crack in the external wall, or, most likely, severe interstitial condensation. DIY cleaning or a superficial fix by building maintenance will not address the root moisture source, and the mold will return.

A certified company like Saniservice will conduct a comprehensive assessment, including moisture mapping and thermal imaging, to locate the exact source of the water intrusion. The remediation process involves containment, air filtration, safe removal of contaminated materials, and application of antimicrobial agents, followed by recommendations to prevent recurrence, such as improving ventilation or adding insulation.

For a proper diagnosis and lasting solution, it is essential to call in experts. You can reach our certified specialists at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for an immediate inspection.
