Mold from Roof Leak

Roof leaks are one of the leading causes of mold growth in South Florida homes. The combination of water intrusion from above and Florida's high humidity creates ideal conditions for mold colonies to establish and spread rapidly through attic spaces, ceiling cavities, and interior walls.

What makes roof leak mold particularly challenging is its hidden nature. Water from a roof leak often travels along rafters, roof decking, and through insulation before becoming visible. By the time you notice water stains on your ceiling, mold may have been growing in your attic for weeks or even months.

Attic spaces provide perfect mold conditions: they're dark, warm, poorly ventilated, and—when a roof leak is present—consistently damp. Common mold species found after roof leaks include Aspergillus, Cladosporium, and in severe cases, Stachybotrys (black mold), all of which can cause respiratory issues and allergic reactions.

Our certified mold remediation team specializes in roof leak mold situations, addressing both the visible mold and the hidden colonies that often extend well beyond what's immediately apparent.
