Shuold I hire a pro for mold removal and cost in AED?« Back to Previous Page
|
We've lived in our Jumeirah villa for two years and just noticed a patch of black mold in the corner of our master bedroom closet, probably from the humidity. It's about the size of a dinner plate and has a really strong, damp smell. I'm worried about trying to clean it myself and making it worse. For a job this size, should I hire a professional mold removal company and what would be the rough cost in AED?

For a patch the size of a dinner plate with a strong, damp smell, professional remediation is strongly recommended. This indicates a moisture issue beyond surface condensation, likely within the wall or from a leak. DIY cleaning with bleach often fails to address the root cause and can aerosolize spores, spreading the problem. In Dubai's high humidity, mold can regrow quickly without proper drying and containment.
A reputable company will first conduct a moisture survey to find the water source, then set up containment to prevent cross-contamination. They use HEPA filtration to clean the air and remove the mold-infested materials. The final step is applying antimicrobial solutions and ensuring the area is completely dry to prevent recurrence. The cost is not fixed; it depends entirely on the extent of the hidden damage. A simple surface treatment will be a fraction of the cost of a job requiring wall demolition and reconstruction of a closet. You should request an on-site inspection from a provider with a certified hygienist to get an accurate assessment and scope of work. |
