Should I hire a pro for mold or DIY in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page
|
We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed a bunch of black spots spreading in the corner of our master bedroom closet, which is on an interior wall. It's gotten worse since the humidity kicked in last month. I'm worried about the health of my family and the cost of fixing this properly. Should I hire a professional mold remediation company here in Dubai, or is this something I can handle myself with cleaners from ACE?

Based on the description of black spots spreading on an interior wall, especially with the recent spike in humidity, this is a classic case of a mold issue exacerbated by Dubai's climate. Interior wall growth often indicates a potential hidden problem, possibly a small leak from plumbing or condensation within the wall cavity that you can't see.
For a case like this, a DIY approach with cleaners from ACE is not advisable. Surface cleaners will only remove the visible stain, not the root cause or the hyphae (the root system) of the mold growing within the wall. This means it will almost certainly return, and likely worse. Furthermore, improper cleaning can aerosolize spores, spreading the contamination to other areas of your home and increasing exposure risk to your family. The UAE's regulatory framework, particularly the Dubai Municipality code, has strict guidelines on environmental health hazards in dwellings. Proper remediation requires containment, professional-grade HEPA filtration (air scrubbers), and specialized antimicrobial agents to ensure it's eradicated safely and completely, protecting both your property and your family's health. Given your concerns for your family and the property, a professional inspection is absolutely recommended. We use thermal imaging and moisture meters to pinpoint the exact source of moisture without destructive investigation.
