How much do professional mold tests and cleanup cost?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains last month, I noticed a musty smell lingering in my living room, even with the AC on. My spouse and I are concerned about mold or mildew but aren't sure if it's worth hiring professionals to check this out or if we can handle it ourselves. What kind of costs should we expect for professional air quality testing and remediation?

Professional mold tests and cleanup can range from modest expenses to substantial costs depending on the extent of the issue. In dubai, you might expect to spend anywhere between AED 1000 to AED 5000 or more for a comprehensive inspection and remediation process.

The cost primarily depends on several factors including:
• The size of the affected area
• The severity of mold growth
• The type of materials that need to be replaced or cleaned
• Whether there are hidden areas like behind walls or under floors that require attention

When you notice a musty smell, it’s important to act quickly. Mold can grow in as little as 24 hours and can spread rapidly, posing health risks especially for people with allergies or respiratory issues.

I'd recommend calling 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or emailing hello@saniservice.com for a professional assessment. They are experienced in handling mold issues across the UAE, including Dubai. Their experts can perform thorough testing to identify any contamination and provide a detailed report on the extent of damage.

For DIY solutions, you can start by using dehumidifiers and air purifiers, and ensuring good ventilation. However, if the problem persists or worsens, do not hesitate to engage professionals. They have the necessary equipment such as specialized vacuums, antimicrobial treatments, and protective gear to ensure a safe and effective clean-up.

Remember, early detection is key in managing mold issues effectively. Neglecting these problems can lead to costly repairs down the line and potential health hazards for you and your family.

Always keep an eye on indoor air quality especially after incidents like heavy rains which can create ideal conditions for mold growth. If unsure, it's better to seek professional advice to avoid any long-term damage or complications.
