Unfortunately mold thrives in the moisture rich environment across South Florida. Mold growth in your property can be initiated by high indoor humidity, flooding, a leaking roof, a burst water pipe, or even a malfunctioning dishwasher or refrigerator. In many cases, problematic mold can grow for months, and even years, before it is detected and in places you often can’t see.
The longer the mold persists, the greater the health risk to loved ones. Some of the common health problems associated with mold include:
- Long term lung damage
- Chronic cough
- Asthma attack
- Skin and throat irritation
If you detect mold in your property, contact your insurance carrier immediately and take photos and video to document any visual evidence. Regrettably, many insurance carriers attempt to limit their mold insurance coverage by treating a claim strictly as “mold growth” in order to deny the claim or pay less. At the Acle Law Firm, we have handled hundreds of mold claims across South Florida and can help you get the full coverage you deserve so that you can restore your property completely.
If you have sustained mold damage and losses, or are currently involved in a claim that is being denied, underpaid or delayed, contact the Acle Law Firm today at 305-447-4667 for a free consultation
