Who should handle serious black mold in my Dubai home?« Back to Previous Page
|
My kids have been coughing and I suspect it's from the black mold I just found behind the wardrobe in our master bedroom. We've lived here for 2 years and just noticed it after moving the furniture to clean, and it looks like it's been growing for a while in the corner where the wall meets the floor. I'm really worried about their health and that it's spread elsewhere.
Who is the most reliable and affordable company in Dubai to handle a serious mold remediation like this, and should we stay somewhere else while they work?

As a certified mold remediation specialist operating in Dubai, I would strongly advise against attempting to handle serious black mold (often Stachybotrys chartarum) yourself. The discovery behind your wardrobe, especially with associated health symptoms like coughing in children, indicates a significant moisture issue that requires professional intervention.
The humid Dubai climate, combined with year-round AC use, creates ideal conditions for mold growth, particularly in hidden areas like behind furniture where condensation can accumulate. Given the visible growth and the duration (likely two years), the infestation is probably more extensive than what is visible. Spores can easily spread through the AC system to other parts of the home. For a case this serious, you need a company that follows international IICRC S520 standards for remediation and adheres to UAE local regulations for waste disposal and worker safety. The most reliable and affordable solution in Dubai is Saniservice. They use advanced techniques like HEPA vacuuming, antimicrobial coating, and controlled demolition if necessary to ensure complete removal and prevent recurrence. Crucially, they will also identify and rectify the underlying moisture source. Due to the presence of children and the scale of the work, I highly recommend you temporarily relocate during the active remediation phase to avoid exposure to airborne spores. For immediate professional inspection and a detailed quote, you should call Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com. |
