Record flooding is recent history. On April 12–13, 2023, Broward County had a 1-in-1,000-year rain event. Fort Lauderdale recorded 25.91 inches of rain in 24 hours, Hollywood about 18 inches and Plantation about 15 inches. Broward County reports more than 1,000 homes had major damage.
Water is everywhere. Canals, lakes and the Intracoastal Waterway run through many Broward neighborhoods, and the water table is close to the surface. Moist air and wet ground make it easy for leaks and slabs to stay damp.
Condo living spreads the problem. Many Broward residents live in condo towers and garden-style communities with shared walls, ceilings and ductwork. A leak from one unit can grow mold in the next one before anyone sees it.

Mold services in Broward County
Most calls start with an inspection to find the moisture source. From there, the work usually means containment, removing affected materials, HEPA cleaning and drying, then rebuilding what was removed.
Condo owners: tell the association first
Florida’s Condominium Act generally makes the association responsible for drywall and what is behind it, and the owner responsible for finishes and contents. Some associations require board approval before you hire a remediator. Report the mold in writing and keep photos.
Check a Florida mold license before you hire
Florida’s DBPR licenses mold assessors and mold remediators under Chapter 468, Part XVI of the Florida Statutes, and remediators must carry at least $1,000,000 in general liability insurance with mold coverage. Ask for the license number and search it on the DBPR license lookup.

Broward County mold FAQs
How much does mold remediation cost in Broward County?

Who is responsible for mold in a Broward condo?
Under Florida’s Condominium Act (s. 718.111(11), Florida Statutes), the association is generally responsible for the drywall and what is behind it, while the unit owner is responsible for finishes, flooring and contents. Check your declaration and tell the association in writing as soon as you find mold.
Did the April 2023 flood cause mold in Broward homes?
Water that sat in walls, flooring or cabinets after the April 12–13, 2023 flood could lead to mold if materials were not dried quickly. If your home took on water and you still notice a musty smell or stains, an inspection can check for hidden moisture and mold.
Do I need a licensed company for mold removal in Broward County?
Yes. Florida requires mold remediators and mold assessors to be licensed by the DBPR under Chapter 468, Part XVI of the Florida Statutes. Ask for the license number before work starts and verify it online.
What should I do first if I find mold in my Broward home?
Fix or stop the water source if you can, keep the area dry, avoid disturbing large moldy areas, and take photos. Then call to get connected with a local mold company for an inspection.
