Should we hire pros for mold cleaning and dehumidifying?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a lot of mold growing behind the bathroom tiles. My kids have also been sneezing and coughing more frequently since then. Given our location in a high-rise apartment, should we consider hiring professionals for thorough cleaning and dehumidifying? What would be the approximate cost for such services in Dubai?

Absolutely, given the situation and considering your location in Dubai, it would be wise to hire professionals for mold cleaning and dehumidifying. The heavy rains last month indeed increased moisture levels and created a conducive environment for mold growth behind bathroom tiles – which can pose health risks especially with kids experiencing more frequent sneezing and coughing.

In the UAE, particularly in Dubai, there are specific regulations regarding indoor air quality (IAQ) that you should be aware of. The Health Authority – Abu Dhabi (HAAD) has stringent standards to ensure buildings meet certain IAQ guidelines. These include controlling moisture levels, which is crucial for preventing mold growth and associated health issues.

Given the high-rise apartment setting, it’s important to address this issue promptly before it worsens. Mold can release spores into the air causing allergic reactions, respiratory problems, and other health issues – especially in children who have weaker immune systems. Professional remediation services are highly recommended as they not only remove visible mold but also treat the underlying causes of moisture buildup.

In terms of cost, prices for professional cleaning and dehumidifying can vary widely depending on factors such as the extent of mold growth, size of your apartment, and the company you choose. Typically, expect to pay around AED 2000 to AED 5000 for a comprehensive service that includes mold removal, air quality testing, and installation of dehumidifiers if needed.

To get an accurate quote, it’s advisable to contact reputable companies in Dubai such as Saniservice. They offer specialized services tailored to high-rise apartments like yours, ensuring both efficiency and effectiveness. You can reach out to them via their phone number 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com.

Remember, addressing mold issues early is key to maintaining a healthy indoor environment – don’t wait for it to become an even bigger problem!
