Permits and rules
Florida law (s. 468.8411) defines mold remediation as the removal, cleaning, sanitizing, demolition or other treatment of mold or mold-contaminated matter of greater than 10 square feet.
The City of Miramar, in Broward County, says damage of any origin whose restoration cost equals or exceeds 50 percent of a structure's market value is substantial damage. Such a building must meet flood damage prevention regulations, and all repairs and improvements on properties subject to the review must be permitted through the Building Division.
Under s. 627.70132, notice of an initial or reopened property insurance claim must be given within 1 year after the date of loss, and notice of a supplemental claim within 18 months. For residential policies issued on or after January 1, 2023, a policyholder may not assign post-loss benefits.
The City of Fort Lauderdale says homeowner and renter policies usually do not cover flood damage, and National Flood Insurance Program coverage has a 30-day waiting period.
What affects the cost
Prices vary by provider and by how much was affected, so ask for an estimate. What usually affects the cost:
- How large an area got wet, and for how long
- Whether the water was clean, like a supply line, or contaminated, like sewage or floodwater
- How much material has to come out, such as drywall, flooring or insulation
- Whether mold has started to grow
- Drying equipment and how many days it runs
- Rebuilding after the drying is done

Questions people ask
What should I do first?
If it's safe, shut off the water at the main valve and turn off power to wet areas. Move valuables out of the water and take photos of the damage.
How long does drying take?
It depends on how much got wet and what it's made of. Your provider measures moisture and can tell you how long their equipment needs to run.
Will insurance cover it?
It depends on your policy and the cause. Sudden leaks are often treated differently from flooding or slow leaks. Check with your insurer and report the claim promptly.
