Should I clean ceiling mold DIY or hire pros?« Back to Previous Page

After the rain last month, I noticed water stains forming on the ceiling of my living room, which is a common area we use daily. It's been two weeks since it rained, but the smell hasn't gone away, and there’s some mold starting to form around the edges. Should I consider hiring professionals for a thorough cleaning or could this be managed with DIY methods?

Hey there! It's understandable to be concerned about the mold on your ceiling after those rain showers. In the UAE and specifically in Dubai, it is indeed crucial to address any moisture issues promptly due to our climate conditions. Mold can pose health risks, especially for individuals with allergies or respiratory problems.

Given that the smell persists even two weeks post-rain and there's visible mold forming, I would strongly recommend seeking professional assistance. Professional mold remediation companies in Dubai are well-equipped to handle such situations safely and effectively. They have the right tools, protective gear, and knowledge to ensure thorough cleaning without causing further damage or spreading spores.

DIY methods might be tempting due to cost considerations, but handling mold improperly can lead to more extensive problems down the line. If you decide on DIY, be sure to wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) like gloves, masks, and goggles. Clean the area with a solution of 1 cup bleach per gallon of water or use approved mold-killing products. However, if the affected area is large—generally more than about ten square feet—it's highly advisable to call in the professionals.

In Dubai, you can reach out to Saniservice at 800-MOLDS (800-66537) or email hello@saniservice.com for expert advice and services. They specialize in environmental inspections and remediation and can provide you with a comprehensive solution tailored to your specific needs.

Remember, addressing mold issues early is key to maintaining both the health of yourself and your family as well as preserving the value of your property. Don't hesitate to take action!

Hope this helps!
