How should we handle green growth on bedroom ceiling?« Back to Previous Page
|
After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a strange green growth on the ceiling of our bedroom. My partner thinks it might be mold, but we’re not sure how to deal with it properly. We’ve been in this apartment for two years, and neither of us has experience dealing with mold issues. Should we hire professionals, or is there an easier DIY solution? What can we expect in terms of costs?

Hello there! It's quite important to address the green growth on your bedroom ceiling right away. In the UAE like Dubai, humidity and moisture can sometimes lead to mold growth which isn't just unsightly but can also affect air quality and health.
First off, let’s establish that you should definitely call in professionals for an inspection. Here in Dubai, it's crucial to follow local regulations and guidelines for dealing with mold issues. The Environmental Health Department (EHD) of the municipality oversees such matters and can provide guidance on proper handling procedures. They recommend hiring certified experts who are well-versed in UAE standards. If you decide to go the DIY route first, make sure to wear protective gear like gloves, a mask, and goggles when inspecting or cleaning the area. Also, ensure that you have enough ventilation while working. Use a solution of water and detergent to gently clean the affected areas; however, be cautious as harsh chemicals might damage your ceiling. However, given the conditions post-rain, it's likely that there is more than meets the eye. Mold can grow quite rapidly under such circumstances, and dealing with it properly requires knowledge and tools not typically found at home. Professional remediation services will assess the extent of mold growth, remove contaminated materials safely, and ensure thorough cleaning using specialized equipment. Costs for professional remediation in Dubai can vary widely based on the severity of the issue, but expect to pay anywhere from AED 1000 - AED 5000 depending on your specific case. This includes inspection, testing, removal, and any necessary repairs or treatments.
