What Makes The Villages Different
The Villages spreads across parts of Sumter, Lake and Marion counties in the middle of Florida, far from either coast. Storm surge is not the worry here, but hurricanes that cross the peninsula still bring hours of wind and heavy rain. Wind lifts shingles and drives rain around windows and doors, and the damage often shows up days later as a ceiling stain.
Most homes are single story houses and villas on slabs, many built from the 1990s on. The air handler is often in the garage or attic, and the condensate line can clog with algae in the steady heat. A slow leak under a sink or behind a toilet can go unseen for weeks in a home where the owners travel for part of the year. A leak sensor or an automatic shutoff valve is a smart add for any home that sits empty.
Heat and humidity last most of the year, so wet drywall and carpet can grow mold within 24 to 48 hours. Many homes back onto ponds and golf courses, and heavy summer storms can raise pond levels near low lots. Central Florida also sits on limestone, and sinkholes do happen. New cracks in walls or floors are worth reporting to your insurer.

Checking a License in The Villages
Florida licenses contractors and mold professionals through the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. Ask for the contractor license number, and for mold work ask for a mold remediator license. For testing, hire a separately licensed mold assessor. Look up every license with the department before you sign. For the restoration side of the work, ask whether the technicians hold industry certification in water damage and mold remediation, and ask for proof of liability and workers compensation insurance.
