What's the cost to professionally treat mold in AC ducts?« Back to Previous Page
|
The AC in our villa in Mirdif has been making the whole downstairs smell damp for the last month, and now I’m seeing black spots spreading on the wall behind the sofa. My husband thinks we can just scrub it ourselves, but I’m worried it’s inside the ducts. For a mold problem this size, what’s the ballpark cost to get it professionally inspected and remediated?

Based on the symptoms you've described—a persistent damp smell and visible black spots spreading on the wall—this is a serious indication of a systemic mold issue, likely originating from your AC system. The Dubai climate, with its high humidity and reliance on year-round air conditioning, creates a perfect environment for mold growth inside ductwork, especially if there is condensation due to poor insulation or a drainage issue.
A professional inspection is absolutely critical here. DIY scrubbing is not advised, as it will only address surface contamination on the wall and will not eliminate the reservoir of spores within the ducts, leading to immediate regrowth and potential health risks. The inspection process involves a visual assessment, moisture mapping, and air/surface sampling to identify the species and extent of contamination, which is necessary for developing a proper remediation protocol. For a villa in Mirdif, the ballpark cost for professional mold remediation in AC ducts can vary significantly based on the severity and square footage affected. A comprehensive service, including containment, HEPA vacuuming, antimicrobial treatment of the entire duct system, and final verification testing, typically ranges from AED 5,000 to AED 15,000 or more. This is not a standardized service, and accurate pricing requires an on-site evaluation. For a definitive assessment and quote, I strongly recommend contacting our certified team at Saniservice.
