Should I hire a pro for mold in my closet?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my bedroom closet, and now I’m seeing some mildew spots on the back wall. Should I consider hiring a professional to address this, or could I handle it myself? What are typical costs for mold remediation services in Dubai?

Absolutely, it is highly recommended to hire professionals for mold issues especially when they appear in your closet. In the UAE and specifically in Dubai, environmental conditions can be particularly favorable for mold growth, owing to the warm climate and sometimes humid environments indoors. The presence of mildew spots on the back wall, combined with a musty smell, indicates active mold growth which should not be ignored.

Firstly, it is crucial to understand that DIY mold remediation might seem cost-effective initially but could lead to serious health issues if not handled correctly. Mold can produce allergens and mycotoxins, posing risks for individuals with asthma, allergies, or compromised immune systems. Moreover, in the UAE, there are specific regulations regarding indoor air quality and property maintenance that may require adherence to professional practices.

When hiring a professional, ensure they have expertise and certifications in mold inspection, testing, and remediation. A reputable company will conduct thorough inspections using advanced equipment such as thermography cameras to detect hidden moisture sources and assess the extent of mold growth accurately. They should also provide detailed reports on findings and propose customized remediation plans that include proper dehumidification techniques, air filtration systems, and use of biocides or other suitable treatments.

In Dubai, costs for professional mold remediation can vary widely based on factors like severity of infestation, size of the affected area, and type of treatment required. Generally speaking, a small-scale project might cost around AED 2000 - 3000 while larger projects could range from AED 5000 upwards depending on complexity.

For your specific case in Dubai, I would suggest reaching out to Saniservice at +971 800-MOLDS (66537) or by email at hello@saniservice.com. They offer comprehensive mold remediation services tailored for the local climate and building conditions.

Remember, early intervention is key in preventing further spread and potential damage from mold growth. Don't hesitate to seek expert advice and treatment right away.
