What is the cost of mold removal in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

The AC unit in my son’s bedroom in our villa in Jumeirah seems to be leaking a little, and now I’ve spotted some black speckles on the wall behind his wardrobe. He’s been waking up with a stuffy nose for the past couple of weeks, and I’m starting to panic it’s mold. What’s the average cost for a proper mold inspection and remediation for a small area like this in Dubai?

Based on the scenario you've described from Jumeirah, it's highly advisable to get a professional inspection immediately. The combination of an AC leak, visible black speckles, and your son's health symptoms are strong indicators of a mold issue that needs to be addressed.

For a localized problem like the area behind a wardrobe, a professional inspection and air quality test in Dubai typically ranges from AED 1,000 to AED 2,500. This cost covers a certified specialist visiting your villa, conducting a visual assessment, taking air and surface samples for lab analysis, and providing a detailed report identifying the types and concentrations of mold present.

If remediation is required, the cost is highly variable. For a small, contained area (under 10 sqm), the price for removal, sanitization, and applying protective coatings can start from around AED 2,500 and go up to AED 7,000 or more. The final price depends on the extent of the infestation behind the unit, if it has spread into the wall cavity, and the specific remediation protocols needed. It's crucial to fix the AC leak first, otherwise the mold will simply return.

Attempting a DIY fix can aerosolize the spores and worsen the problem. We strongly recommend a certified inspection to understand the full scope. For an accurate quote specific to your villa, please call our team at 800-MOLDS or 800-66537, or email hello@saniservice.com to schedule an assessment.
