Where to find professional mold removal in Abu Dhabi?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing and I suspect it’s from the mold growing on the back of our bedroom curtains in Khalifa City. It started after that period of heavy humidity we had a couple of weeks ago. I’ve tried wiping it down with vinegar, but the black spots keep coming back and I’m really worried about their health.
Is there a professional service in Abu Dhabi that can properly test for hidden mold and get rid of it for good, not just a quick clean?

Mold regrowth after a DIY cleaning, especially in Khalifa City's high humidity, is a clear sign the issue is not just surface-level. The persistent moisture from condensation and your AC system is likely feeding growth within the wall or insulation behind the curtain.
For a permanent solution, you need a professional assessment. Look for providers in Abu Dhabi that offer a two-step process: inspection and remediation. The inspection should identify all moisture sources and the full extent of contamination, often using tools like moisture meters and thermal imaging. The most credible companies will then take air or surface samples for analysis at an independent microbiology lab to identify the species, which dictates the proper remediation protocol. The remediation itself involves containing the area, removing contaminated porous materials like drywall or insulation, HEPA vacuuming, and antimicrobial treatment of the structure. Crucially, they must fix the underlying moisture problem, which is often poor insulation creating a cold surface for condensation or an AC issue. Any reputable company should provide detailed documentation of the process, including before/after photos and the lab analysis report. This verifiable evidence is what separates a proper remediation from a superficial cleaning that will fail. Given your children's symptoms, a professional assessment is strongly recommended to resolve the health concern and the property damage. |
