Florida — especially areas like Fort Pierce, Orlando, and Port St. Lucie — is one of the most mold-prone regions in the entire country. The heat and humidity create perfect conditions for mold growth inside walls, AC closets, bathrooms, and attics.

Here’s why mold grows so fast in Florida homes and what you can do to prevent it.

1. High Indoor Humidity

Anything above 55% creates a mold-friendly environment.

2. AC Problems

Clogged drain lines, dirty coils, or weak airflow can spike humidity without you realizing it.

3. Storm & Roof Leaks

Small leaks become big mold problems — especially after heavy Florida storms or hurricanes.

4. Plumbing Drips

Slow leaks behind walls cause hidden mold that spreads fast.

5. Poor Ventilation

Bathrooms without exhaust fans or rooms without airflow trap moisture.

How to Protect Your Home

✔ Keep indoor humidity between 45–55%
✔ Service your AC regularly
✔ Fix roof or plumbing leaks ASAP
✔ Run bathroom fans during and after showers
✔ Call a licensed mold professional if you smell anything musty

If you think you may have mold in your home, don’t wait.
