What is the Cause of Mold Damage in Florida?
According to FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, mold and mildew begin to develop within 24-48 hours of water exposure. Mold will continue to grow until it has been effectively managed and eliminated through the proper steps necessary to eliminate the source of the moisture. According to the National Weather Service, following Hurricane Irma, much of Miami was devastated by 2-3 feet of water. Following storms like these with rain and moisture, it is not uncommon for mold to develop.
When covered water exposure and intrusion happens in your home, business, or condo, the insurance company may be responsible for the losses you have experienced from the mold damage.
Common sources of water damage that can lead to the development of mold include:
- Leaks in your roof or windows
- Sewage backups or plumbing issues
- Ruptured and/or broken pipes
- As a result of storms and hurricanes
Mold can lead to substantial property damage and has the potential to cause health issues. If you have experienced mold damage and have filed an insurance claim, the claims process starts with collecting evidence to accurately measure the mold and evaluate the damage and costs related to addressing the mold and damage caused.
