Is cleaning multi-zone a major issue? Cost?« Back to Previous Page

Cleaning multi-zone can be a significant issue depending on the extent and type of contamination. In the UAE specifically, particularly in Dubai, there are strict regulations regarding indoor environmental quality (IEQ) to ensure occupant health and comfort. If your villa inspection flagged this as an area that might need attention, it's crucial not to ignore it.

Firstly, what exactly is 'cleaning multi-zone'? This term usually refers to a situation where different zones or areas of a building have varying levels of contamination. For instance, you may find one area clean and habitable while another zone requires extensive cleaning or remediation due to mold, dust mites, or other allergens.

In Dubai, this could be particularly problematic given the high humidity during certain seasons which can lead to faster moisture accumulation in buildings. This might result in dampness, which is a breeding ground for molds and bacteria, especially if there are leaks or poor ventilation systems.

Is it a deal breaker? It depends on how critical the contamination is and whether remediation can be done effectively without compromising the structural integrity of your villa. A professional inspection should always be sought to understand the full extent of the issue. If contamination levels are high, addressing them might be necessary before you move in – or even before purchasing the property.

Typically, cost estimates for remediation can vary widely based on several factors including the size of the affected area, the level of contamination, and the specific materials required. In Dubai, expect to pay anywhere from AED 10,000 to AED 50,000 or more depending on these variables.

To give you a clearer picture, here’s what might be involved in remediation:
• Identifying the source of contamination
• Removing affected materials like carpeting, ceiling tiles, etc.
• Cleaning and treating surfaces with appropriate disinfectants and sealers
• Ensuring proper ventilation systems are functioning correctly

I would recommend reaching out to a professional company that specializes in indoor environmental quality assessments and remediation. They can provide a thorough inspection and give you an accurate quote based on your villa’s specific needs.
