What is the cost for professional Dubai mold remediation?« Back to Previous Page
|
Our bedroom walk-in closet in our Jumeirah villa has this black speckled mold growing along the back wall where our clothes are. I first spotted it a couple of weeks ago and it seems to be spreading, and I'm worried about our stuff and our health. I've read online about DIY cleaning with vinegar, but I’m not sure if it's safe to handle myself or if the humidity here means it will just come back. What would a professional mold remediation company in Dubai typically charge to properly fix something like this?

Hey there. That's a very common issue here in Jumeirah villas, especially in closets on exterior walls where temperature differentials cause condensation. The high ambient humidity just feeds it.
For a walk-in closet with active growth on the wall, a professional remediation would typically involve a few steps: containment to prevent spores spreading to other areas, HEPA vacuuming of the affected surfaces, specialized antimicrobial treatment to kill the root system, and then addressing the moisture source (often a dehumidification strategy or checking for AC drain line issues). For a space that size, you're likely looking at a cost range starting from AED 1,500 to AED 4,000+. The final price depends on the extent of the spread behind the surface and the required drying time. Honestly, with it being near your clothes and already spreading, a DIY approach with vinegar is a major risk. It might bleach the visible mold but won't kill the roots deep in the wall, and the spores you disturb could contaminate your entire wardrobe. The UAE's DM guidelines for healthy buildings take mold very seriously due to the health risks. Your best bet is to get a proper inspection to understand the cause and full scope.
