Homes in Miami and how they leak

Single-family homes are concrete block on slabs with flat or tile roofs. A very large share of housing is condominiums, including many towers from the 1960s through the 1980s whose plumbing and waterproofing are being renewed under Florida's building inspection rules.

Questions from Miami homeowners

Do I need a licensed mold remediator in Miami?

For more than 10 square feet, yes. Florida requires a licensed mold remediator, and assessment by a separate licensed assessor.

A leak from the unit above ruined my ceiling. Who pays?

Usually your own policy pays for your unit's interior and belongings, the association's for common elements. Report it to both and to the unit above.
