Who to call for serious mold removal in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

My kids have been coughing more than usual, and I finally checked behind the wardrobe in our master bedroom. I found a huge patch of black mold spreading on the wall, probably from a slow AC leak we never noticed. We've lived here for 2 years and just found this. What's the best way to handle serious mold removal in Dubai—should I call the building management first or go straight to a professional cleaning company?

For a serious mold outbreak like this, especially with health symptoms, contact a professional remediation company directly. Building management will typically only address the source of the leak (like repairing the AC drain line), but they are not equipped or responsible for the actual mold removal and ensuring your indoor air is safe.

In Dubai's climate, high humidity and constant AC use mean mold can regrow quickly if not handled correctly. A proper remediation process is multi-step: they will first contain the area to prevent spores from spreading, safely remove the contaminated materials (like that section of drywall), use industrial-grade HEPA air scrubbers, and then treat the area with antimicrobial solutions.

After remediation, the most critical step is verification through post-testing. This is where a company with its own microbiology lab provides a key advantage, as they can deliver certified lab results confirming the spore count in the air has returned to safe levels. Do not skip this step; it's your only proof the job was done correctly.

For your specific case, since the mold is extensive and linked to health issues, a professional assessment is essential. They can determine the full extent of the growth, which often spreads behind walls, and create a protocol to fix it permanently.
