MOLD DAMAGE INFORMATION
Mold contamination should be taken very seriously as it can cause severe illness to some people and considerable damage to property. Before the changes to exclude mold coverage from policies the carrier quickly minimized the impact of mold often suggesting a little bleach as a solution. Insurance company representatives often quote the policy exclusions for mold even when coverage may exist for your mold damage.
Determining the source of the damage is very important in determining whether or not you’re covered by your insurance provider. It’s extremely important that all steps are taken to properly document the cause of the damages so you are treated fairly by your insurance company.
Mold needs these conditions before it can begin to grow in a home:
- Mold spores
- A food source (eg wood, drywall, cotton)
- Darkness (mold can’t grow under ultraviolet light)
- Warmth (mold can’t grow in freezing temperatures)
- Oxygen
- Moisture (eg water leaks, humidity)
- Enough time (most molds can begin to grow in 24-48 hours if the conditions are right)
