Mold is one of the most common hazards to which homes are exposed. Although it seems harmless, this sort of fungus can be detrimental to our health, as it releases tiny airborne spores that can trigger major allergies.

However, if you need to make a mold claim on your insurance, you are probably also concerned about property damage such as wall materials, wood structures, flooring, insulation, air ducts, and ventilation systems.

For this reason, it is very important that, when faced with a mold claim, the first thing you should do is to get informed and understand the process itself. In addition, you should know that this kind of procedure can be overwhelming, since, in addition to the claim itself, you must deal with the whole process of trying to save your objects from the invasion of mold.

Hence the need to have the support of a professional in the insurance area, a public adjuster, who is responsible for dealing with the insurer and seek a good agreement to deal with the damage.

Strategic Plan for Mold Insurance Claims

Although mold insurance claims can vary significantly from case to case, in general, you will need to consult with your public adjuster who should develop a plan for your proceeding, which should contain the following questions:

What is the cause of the mold?

What is the extent of the property damage?

What is the proposed initial cost to remediate the mold?

What materials and areas need to be removed?

Does any of the property damage need to be updated?

Do you have an estimated timeline for the repair and restoration period?

What are the benefits under the insurance policy contract?

What are the duties and conditions under the insurance policy?

How long will it take to receive a claim payment?

Do you have to make temporary living arrangements elsewhere?

Is there damage to personal property such as clothing and furniture?

How do you support a tenant?

Is coverage available for “Loss of Use” or “Additional Living Expenses”?

How long can the claim take?
