Mould Inspection & Treatment in Qatar

Signs you may need a mould inspection

• Visible black, green or grey patches on walls, ceilings or grout
• A persistent musty smell that returns after cleaning or airing the room
• Peeling, bubbling or stained paint
• Recurring dampness around ceilings, walls, bathrooms and wet areas
• Staining, dripping or mould around AC outlets, grilles and fan coil units

Mould (sometimes spelled mold) often appears where you can see it, but it can also grow behind furniture, inside cupboards and around AC units. An inspection shows how far it has spread and why it is there.

Moisture inspection

Mould needs moisture, so the inspection looks at the cause as well as the stains. The technician examines the affected areas, takes moisture readings on walls, ceilings and floors, and checks the surroundings for likely sources, including:

• AC condensate leaks from blocked drains, drip trays or poorly insulated pipes
• Plumbing leaks from bathrooms, kitchens, water heaters or pipes inside walls
• Condensation on cold surfaces, especially near AC outlets and windows
• High humidity in rooms with poor ventilation, such as bathrooms, laundries and storerooms

If the source is hidden inside a wall or ceiling, or the readings point to a building or AC fault, we tell you what we found and recommend further investigation or repair by the right contractor before or alongside treatment.

Mould cleaning and treatment

We clean and treat the affected surfaces under the scope agreed in your quotation, using methods and products suited to the surface and the room. Whether drying, dehumidification or treatment of affected furnishings is needed depends on what the inspection finds and the condition of the materials. Some porous materials that are badly affected are better replaced than treated, and we will tell you if that is the case.

Where it is appropriate, ULV fogging can be added as an extra step after the affected surfaces have been cleaned and treated. It does not replace surface treatment or fixing the moisture source.

Optional IAQ and laboratory testing

Testing is optional. Microbiological air sampling can help when there is a musty smell but no visible growth, when occupants report symptoms, after water damage, or when you want before-and-after results to compare.

Samples requiring laboratory analysis are tested by an approved third-party laboratory, and clients receive the laboratory report for the samples analysed.

The scope, cost and estimated reporting time for any testing are confirmed in your quotation. For full indoor air quality assessments, see Germ Control & IAQ Testing.

Aftercare and prevention

Treatment works best when the cause is fixed. Repairing leaks, clearing AC condensate drains, reducing condensation and keeping humidity down with ventilation or dehumidification all help stop mould returning.

• Have AC units and condensate drains serviced regularly
• Use bathroom and kitchen extract fans and keep doors open to air rooms
• Leave a gap between furniture and outside walls
• Report new damp patches or musty smells early

Your quotation sets out clearly which repairs, repainting, civil works or material replacement need a separate scope, so you know what is included before work begins.

How it works

1. Inspection

   A technician inspects the affected areas, takes moisture readings and looks for the likely source.

2. Written quotation

   You receive the findings, the recommended treatment, what is and is not included, the price and any optional testing.

3. Treatment

   We clean and treat the affected surfaces under the agreed scope, with preparation and re-entry instructions for your treatment.

4. Aftercare

   We explain how to reduce recurrence and, where agreed, arrange a follow-up check or sampling.
