Florida Family Guide: Handling Leaks, Storm Water, and AC Overflows at Home

How Florida families can limit water and mold damage after storm leaks, flooding, or AC drain overflow.

Family Daily Activities

In Florida, water can get into a home from a tropical storm, a roof leak, or an AC drain pan that overflows. With humid air, small problems become mold problems quickly.

 

Turn off power to wet areas and stop the source of water. Take photos and video before cleanup, because Florida insurance claims often need detailed records.

 

Start drying right away. Mold can appear within 24 to 48 hours, and open windows usually add moisture. Professionals use commercial dehumidifiers, air movers, and moisture mapping to dry walls, floors, and cabinets.

 

After storms, check attics, ceilings near AC vents, and exterior walls for slow leaks.
