Should I hire a mold inspector in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed some greenish spots growing on the walls of my bedroom. My family has also started experiencing more coughs lately. Should I hire a professional to check if this is mold, or could it be something else? What would that cost roughly in Dubai?

Absolutely, it's wise to consider hiring a mold inspector especially given the recent rainfall and the greenish spots you've noticed. Mold can indeed proliferate under such conditions, particularly if your home has any moisture issues or water leaks that have gone unattended.

In the UAE, including Dubai, it is strongly recommended to engage a certified professional for an inspection. The local climate, with its dry periods followed by heavy rainfall, creates optimal conditions for mold growth. Moreover, the UAE has specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and health, which professionals will adhere to ensure a thorough examination of your property.

The presence of greenish spots on walls can indeed be indicative of mold, but only an expert can confirm this with certainty through visual inspection, moisture testing, and possibly even air sampling. Mold can also release spores that may cause respiratory issues, allergies, or exacerbate existing conditions like the coughs you've mentioned in your family.

Regarding costs, hiring a professional for mold inspection in Dubai typically starts from around AED 500 to AED 1000 per room, depending on the size and complexity of the property. For a comprehensive inspection that includes sampling and detailed report, prices can range between AED 2000 to AED 3000.

To proceed, you might want to reach out to companies like Saniservice (hello@saniservice.com) or other certified firms in the area who specialize in environmental inspections. These professionals will provide a detailed assessment and recommendations for remediation if necessary.

Don't delay as mold can spread rapidly under favorable conditions, potentially leading to more extensive damage and health concerns. Early intervention is key to effective mitigation and maintaining your home's integrity.
