Should we hire professionals to clean mold in Dubai?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a lot of mold growing behind the bathroom tiles, especially near the bathtub. My grandmother has been staying with us due to some health issues and we're concerned about her slipping while cleaning up the mess. Given that we live in Dubai and have limited time during the day because of our jobs, should we consider hiring professional cleaners or trying to manage it ourselves? What would be a realistic cost for such services here in the UAE?

Absolutely, given the environmental conditions and potential health risks associated with mold growth in Dubai, it's highly advisable to hire professionals for cleaning. In our region, we've seen cases where excessive moisture from heavy rains can lead to severe mold infestations, especially behind tiles or near bathtubs. This situation is not uncommon as humidity levels can spike during such weather events.

First off, you should call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for a professional inspection. They'll assess the extent of the mold growth and recommend appropriate treatment options based on UAE regulations. The health risks associated with exposure to certain molds are serious, particularly for elderly individuals like your grandmother.

Professional mold remediation is not just about cleaning but also involves ensuring that the area remains safe from future issues. Professionals will address underlying moisture problems, properly clean and decontaminate affected areas, and provide recommendations to prevent recurrence. This might include installing better ventilation systems or even waterproofing materials around bathtubs.

In terms of cost, you can expect it to vary depending on the extent of the mold growth and the services required. Generally, professional cleaning costs range from AED 500 to AED 2,000 per room, but this could go higher if extensive damage is present or specialized equipment is needed.

Managing it yourself might seem like a cost-effective solution, but given your limited time during the day and your grandmother's safety concerns, it’s better to leave it to experts. They have the necessary tools and experience to handle such situations effectively and efficiently without risking health issues from improper handling of mold.

Remember, in Dubai, we take indoor environmental quality very seriously due to our climate conditions. Ensuring that your home remains safe and healthy for everyone, especially those who are more vulnerable like the elderly, is paramount. So, it’s definitely worth investing in professional services here.
