Common home problems in Florida

Hurricanes

Wind, storm surge and flooding from June to November.

Humidity and mold

Moist air and leaks let mold grow quickly, often within a day or two.

Roof leaks

Strong sun and storms wear out shingles and tile roofs.

Old drain pipes

Many homes built before the mid 1970s have cast iron drains that crack under the slab.

Termites and pests

The warm climate means pests are active all year.

Licenses and permits in Florida

Florida licenses contractors statewide through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). Roofers, plumbers, electricians, HVAC contractors and general contractors all need a state license, and you can check one online.

Permits for repairs are issued by your city or county, not by Sifixit. Always ask for the license or registration number and proof of insurance before work starts, and get the scope and price in writing.

Home insurance notes for Florida

Florida policies usually have a separate hurricane deductible, often a percentage of the home value. Many insurers offer discounts for a wind mitigation inspection. Standard homeowners policies do not cover flooding from outside water; that needs separate flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program or a private insurer.

Take photos before any cleanup, keep receipts, and call your insurer early. Our water damage insurance claims guide explains the steps.
