What's the first step for fixing mold in my Dubai apartment?« Back to Previous Page

The first step is to immediately document the issue with clear photographs and a dated, written notification to your building management or property owner. Under Dubai Law No. 26 of 2007 (as amended), landlords are generally responsible for maintaining the structural integrity of the property, which includes addressing underlying issues causing mold, such as hidden leaks or inadequate insulation in external walls, a common issue in Dubai Marina towers.

Do not simply clean the visible mold yourself, as this is a symptom of a larger problem. The spreading behind furniture and correlation with high humidity suggests a persistent moisture source. Your management should engage a professional environmental company to conduct a comprehensive inspection. This includes moisture mapping, thermal imaging, and air quality testing to identify the exact species and the root cause of the water intrusion.

For a case like yours with health symptoms involved, a professional assessment is critical. We can perform this service and provide a detailed report for your management, outlining the exact remediation protocol required. Once the source is fixed, proper remediation by certified technicians is essential to safely remove the contamination and prevent recurrence.
