Many Florida insurers won't cover, or charge more for, older roofs, and roof leaks during summer storms are among the most common water claims.
Concrete block homes on slabs dominate, with AC air handlers in closets or garages. In high-rises, one leak can affect many units and involves both the association's and the owner's policies.
Licensing in Florida: Florida licenses mold assessors and mold remediators through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR), and licenses contractors through the Construction Industry Licensing Board. Verify both with DBPR's license search.

Attic mold removal questions
Do I need a licensed mold remediator in Miami?
Florida requires mold assessment and remediation for pay to be done by DBPR-licensed professionals, with exemptions for very small areas.
Who covers a leak from the condo above me in Miami?
It depends on the source and the association documents. The association's master policy covers common elements, and your HO-6 policy covers your unit's interior and contents.
Is attic mold a deal-breaker when selling a house?
Not usually, if it's remediated and the cause is fixed with documentation. Buyers mainly want proof it was handled correctly.
