Should I hire professionals for mold removal?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed some mold starting to grow in our office space at work. We’ve been here for two years, and it’s the first time we’ve really had an issue like this. Should I consider hiring professional cleaning services or can I handle it myself? What are the typical costs for such a service in Dubai?

Absolutely, you should consider hiring professionals for mold removal. Here's why:

Firstly, in the UAE, specifically Dubai, there are strict regulations regarding indoor environmental quality and health standards. The Ministry of Community Development (MoCD) oversees these to ensure a safe working environment free from harmful pollutants such as mold. Given that this is your first experience with mold growth after two years at work, it's crucial to act promptly to avoid any potential health issues for you and your colleagues.

When dealing with mold in an office space, especially post-rain, it’s essential to address the underlying moisture issue. Mold grows where there is moisture and lack of proper ventilation. Professional services can help identify not just visible mold but also hidden sources that might lead to future outbreaks. They have the necessary tools and expertise to clean thoroughly and restore your workspace.

Professional mold removal costs in Dubai vary, typically ranging from AED 1000 to AED 5000 depending on the size of the affected area, type of surfaces, and the extent of contamination. For a small office space with minimal damage, it might be more cost-effective to handle yourself initially, but for larger areas or if there's significant mold growth, professional services are strongly recommended.

A professional inspection is key as it can pinpoint exactly where the problem lies, whether it’s in your office walls, ceiling, or even hidden behind furniture. This proactive approach ensures that all sources of moisture and mold are addressed to prevent future reoccurrences.
