Is Mold removal covered by my insurance policy?
Home or commercial insurance mold removal depends on the cause of the damage, policy coverage and the insurance company.
As stated, the carrier and your policy will determine coverage. A majority of providers that do offer coverage have limits.
If you have a leak and do nothing about it for some time pesky spores will begin to grow. Basically, homeowners insurance may protect you if the claim filed is part of a peril. There are exceptions. We can help you navigate the complexity of your policy.
Usually, the home or commercial insurance company will only cover what the policy lists. Fire and vandalism coverage is standard on most policies, however, additional coverage may be needed in some instances.
Is there more than one type of mold?
Yes. There are multiple types that can grow in the same area, and most of us can’t tell the difference without proper testing. It is not necessary to tell one from another to eliminate it. Below are a few of the most common you will find indoors:
Penicillium
Can be either blue, black or green. It can be found in insulation, and under carpets, particularly in the padding.
Aspergillus
This one can be white, gray with dark spots or green. It can grow in walls, attics, fabrics and dry food. A good example is bread that expires.
Cladosporium
Can be either black, green, brown or a combination. It thrives on carpet, fabrics, and A/C ducts.
What are some of the mold signs?
Mold usually starts as a small speck and can grow fast. It can be spotted early on unless it is in an area out of site. As indicated above they come in a variety of colors and can have a fuzzy powdery look.
If you come across a spot and are unsure if it is an old stain, below are a few signs to look out for:
- A few drops of bleach lightens its color in a couple of minutes;
- It has a musty smell;
- When left uncheck it will surely continue to grow;
- There’s a near source of water or moisture, and without much light;
- Cracking, peeling or warping is another tall tail sign it may be growing.
