Mold
If You Notice Mold, File a Claim Right Away
Due to the humidity, the rain, and the many bodies of water, mold is a common discovery in many Florida homes and businesses. Mold can not only damage your property but harm an individual’s respiratory system. It is usually linked to water damage when filing an insurance claim.

Mold Damage Do's and Don'ts
- Do get in touch with a mold remediation professional ASAP.

- Don’t attempt to deal with the mold problem yourself.
- Don’t touch anything near or on the area affected by mold.
- Don’t open any windows to let the mold spores out, as the fresh air will help the mold to spread.

- Don’t eat, drink or smoke near the mold-affected area.
Water vs. Mold Damage Claims
Water damage doesn’t usually have the same insurance policy limitations as mold. However, since water causes mold to develop, water damage will be the insurance claim, and mold is the damage caused by the water claim. Se habla español!
