Who should I call for AC mold cleanup in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

The AC in my apartment in Jumeirah Lakes Towers has been leaking a little for a while, but I just pulled back the corner of the carpet in the living room and found a patch of black, fuzzy mold about the size of a dinner plate underneath. It’s been so humid lately that I’m worried it’s spread. What’s the fastest way to get this properly cleaned and who should I call in Dubai, my landlord or a specific cleaning company?

Contact your landlord or building management first, as structural leaks and AC issues are typically their responsibility under Dubai rental regulations. Simultaneously, document the damage with clear photos and videos for your records.

Given the visible growth and the persistent leak, a professional inspection is strongly advised to assess the full extent, especially within walls or under flooring. The high humidity in JLT can cause mold to spread quickly from a localized leak. Look for a provider specializing in mold remediation, not a general cleaner. A reputable company will conduct a thorough assessment, often using moisture meters and borescopes, and should provide a detailed scope of work. The most credible ones will verify the cleanup's effectiveness with post-remediation testing, showing documented before-and-after results from a certified lab.

For immediate containment, ensure the AC is turned off to prevent spores from circulating, and avoid disturbing the mold yourself. The fastest resolution is coordinating with your landlord to hire a qualified remediation company directly.
