The humidity and moisture of the South Florida’s subtropical air is a major reason why homes in this region often experience mold.

The normal way to combat this problem is to keep your home cool and dry. Central air conditioning usually does the trick, as long as it remains functional.

If your home experiences water damage caused by a leaky pipe, hurricane, flood, leaky dishwasher, or leaky roof, it becomes much easier for mold to spread inside your home.

Mold is a fungus that thrives on moisture and water. Since there’s already a certain level of humidity inside Florida homes, mold can spread if even just a small amount of water is added to the indoor environment.

Mold is toxic to people and property. Breathing in mold spores can cause respiratory illnesses and ruin walls, ceilings, and furniture.

If mold spreads in your home, you’ll need to file a mold damage claim with your insurance company. If you can prove the damage was recent and not caused by any actions you did or did not take, your claim should be approved.

But filing a claim can be complicated, and you might not want to do it yourself. Fortunately, a mold damage public adjuster can assist you. You’ll need to provide evidence to your insurance company that the existing conditions in your home did not encourage the mold to spread, and this can be easier said than done.

If your home has suffered recent water damage, it must be addressed immediately. This is the only way an insurance company will approve a mold damage claim.
