Mold Damage

Understanding Mold Damage

For decades mold damage claims were covered under most property insurance policies when it resulted from a covered peril, such as storm, plumbing leaks, overflow or other cause covered by your property insurance policy. But concerns have increased due to public awareness about mold and its health related hazards.

The cleanup and remediation techniques are costly and hazardous to the personnel cleaning the damaged area. In response to public concerns, insurance companies are removing such coverage from their policies regardless if it results from a covered peril. Some insurance companies will offer limited coverage for mold/fungus for an additional premium. Be aware, insurance company representatives often quote the policy exclusion for mold even when coverage may exist for your mold damage. Home Damage Adjustment can assess your mold damage and advise you on the necessary course of action.

Understanding Mold Damage And Mold Contamination Claims

Molds develop in areas with high humidity levels, usually in the darker parts of your home or commercial property. Molds are types of fungi that can be found almost everywhere like on plants, ceiling tiles, foods, woods, furniture or soil – and the microscopic ‘spores’ that they produce are spread through the air. The one thing that’s critical to their survival is moisture; they need moisture to grow.

How Can You Tell If There’s Mold In Your Home

  • There is visible cottony, leathery or staining growth on the surface of your furniture, walls, ceilings, woods, etc.
  • There is a noticeable mold odor (usually you’ll smell an earthy odor which can be a sign that there are molds present)
  • If allergy ­sensitive individuals show symptoms of irritation, their allergies triggered

Thus, in the unfortunate event of a plumbing leak, storm surge, overflow from tubs, flooding, broken water pipes or any peril that will cause water to infiltrate your home or property – expect molds to develop especially in hard­to­reach areas and the parts you weren’t able to dry. Mold can start developing in 24 hour in certain conditions. Mold contamination claims can involve a lot of money, and will often involve a lot of work – not only on your end, but also on the part of your insurance carrier.
