What's th cost to treat mold in a Dubai apartment?« Back to Previous Page

Based on the symptoms you've described—black spots on an exterior wall, exacerbated by recent high humidity—this is a classic case of mold growth, likely due to thermal bridging and condensation. The climate in Dubai, with its high ambient humidity and the constant use of air conditioning creating significant temperature differentials, provides an ideal environment for mold, especially on cold exterior walls inside closets where air circulation is poor.

Attempting a DIY treatment with bleach is strongly discouraged. Bleach is ineffective on porous surfaces like drywall and plaster, as it only bleaches the surface mold without addressing the root hyphae. More critically, it can release a high volume of toxic spores into the air during scrubbing, potentially worsening indoor air quality and health risks. For a confirmed and spreading infestation, a professional inspection is mandatory to identify the moisture source and the full extent of contamination.

The cost for professional mold remediation in a Dubai apartment is highly variable. For a localized issue like a single closet, treatment could range from AED 1,500 to AED 3,500. This typically includes containment, HEPA vacuuming, antimicrobial application, and moisture control recommendations. However, if the mold has penetrated the wall cavity, the cost will increase significantly due to the need for demolition, replacement of affected building materials, and full-scale air scrubbing.

Given the potential health implications and structural damage, I recommend immediate action. For a precise assessment and a formal quotation, please contact our certified specialists at Saniservice.
