Water damage is one of the leading causes of black mold growth in Florida, especially in humid areas like Broward and Collier County. When moisture seeps into walls, ceilings, or floors, it creates the perfect breeding ground for toxic black mold (Stachybotrys chartarum).
Why is this a problem?
• Black mold can cause severe respiratory issues, allergies, and even long-term health problems.
• Water damage often goes unnoticed behind drywall or under flooring, allowing mold to spread unchecked.
• Homes in Broward and Collier counties are particularly vulnerable due to frequent storms, high humidity, and past hurricane damage.
