The Threat of Mold in Naples Homes
Flooding can be devastating to Naples homes. Furniture has to be thrown out and foundations could be damaged, but there is also a more silent threat. Mold can grow hidden in Naples homes, causing inhabitants to develop health problems.
Removing mold from Naples homes can be very complicated and costly as Sheetrock and insulation generally have to be removed. Unfortunately, most insurance companies do not include coverage for mold, but in the event yours does, it is important “to keep a file with documentation – pictures, estimates from contractors, as much as you can – in case your insurance company requires it.”
In order to keep costs down, it is recommended that homeowners treat the walls in their Naples homes with mildewcide whenever flooding occurs. Be sure to sponge it off within minutes to reduce staining.
