Water bodies are found everywhere in Florida and watersheds constitute part of every property. Everyone lives downstream and therefore every homeowner shares the responsibility of keeping their water bodies clean and healthy.

Expenses due to water damage issues can be devastatingly high for property owners and therefore it is important to keep an eye open for problems such as the sudden appearance of a moldy drywall, a flooded basement or mildewed grout appearing in the home. Here are some tips to deal with such problems.

•    Dampness is the cause of mildew and mold formation and therefore it is important to control moisture indoors. The problem with crawlspaces and attics is that water leaks are not immediately noticed. Basements can get flooded when the drainage for the foundation is not efficient. Water should, therefore, be routed away from basements and care should be taken to keep the crawlspaces dry at all times. All leaks should be stopped immediately.
•    Remove mold the minute you detect the same. It can be easily removed with detergent and warm water. The surface area should then be left to dry out completely. Alternatively, you can spray the affected area with a solution of 10% bleach with 90% water.
•    Purchase paints with mildewcide as this will help control surface mold in bathrooms and other damp rooms.
•    The best way to solve problems is to address them immediately. Shut off the main water valve and if water has collected above the leak, you can open a faucet to let the water drain out harmlessly instead off from the gushing pipe. Do not walk in water without protective gear and make sure all electricity power are shut.
•    Avoid permanent damage by performing cleanup immediately. If the damage is severe, then it is important not to move things out or get rid of items to claim insurance cover.
