What are costs and services for cleaning mold?« Back to Previous Page

After the heavy rains we had last month, I noticed some mold growing behind the curtains in the living room. The AC also seems to be making a funny noise, and it's been running overtime lately. Given that Ramadan is approaching, I’m considering cleaning the house thoroughly but am unsure about the costs and whether it would be better to hire professionals for this task or to do it myself. What should I expect in terms of cost, and are there any specific services you’d recommend?

Cleaning mold during the Ramadan season can indeed be a bit tricky given the recent rainfall and its aftermath. In Dubai/UAE, we've seen an increase in mold cases post-rainy seasons due to humidity levels. The costs for mold cleaning services can vary widely depending on several factors such as the extent of the mold growth, the size of your living space, and whether or not you choose professional assistance.

For a standard 2-bedroom apartment with light mold coverage, you might be looking at around AED 100 to AED 300 for DIY cleaning. This could include purchasing some effective mold-killing solutions and following online tutorials on proper application techniques. However, if the mold has spread significantly or is located in harder-to-reach areas like behind curtains or inside AC units, it's highly recommended to hire professionals.

Professional mold remediation services can cost anywhere from AED 500 to AED 3,000 or more depending on the severity and scope of work. These services typically involve a thorough inspection by trained experts who will assess the extent of contamination, provide recommendations, and execute a plan that may include removing contaminated materials, treating surfaces with specialized cleaning agents, and ensuring proper air quality.

The AC noise you're hearing could be related to mold growth inside the unit as well. Professional servicing is advised here too. They can clean the filters, check for any blockages or damages, and ensure everything runs smoothly without spreading contaminants throughout your home.

In terms of services, I’d recommend a full inspection followed by a targeted cleaning where needed. This ensures not only the visible mold but also potential areas you might overlook. For instance, behind baseboards, around windows, and inside ducts can all harbor hidden mold growth.

Don't hesitate to call 800-MOLDS or email hello@saniservice.com for an expert consultation if you're unsure about what to do next. They offer reliable services tailored to the UAE climate and regulations. Remember, addressing mold issues promptly is crucial to prevent health problems and property damage.

Cleaning your house thoroughly during Ramadan can provide a refreshing start to the holy month, but it's wise to seek professional help for critical areas like the AC unit where DIY methods might not be enough. Stay safe and clean!
