When mold is growing in or around your home, it's frequently because the area has been sitting in water or hasn't been cleaned thoroughly in some time. When the growth occurs because you failed to take care of the issue, your homeowner's policy isn't going to cover the subsequent property damages.
What our adjuster for mold damages does is investigate why you have mold in the first place. If we can link it back to a natural occurrence like water damages from a storm, then your insurance provider should pay your claim money for repairs.
If you're not sure whether or not your mold damage is listed on your insurance policy, give us a call. We will provide you with the honest and fair assessment you're looking for.

Mold is a type of fungus that grows in multicellular filaments called hyphae, forming fuzzy patches of various colors like black, green, or white on surfaces. It thrives in warm, moist environments and spreads through airborne spores. Mold plays a crucial role in nature by breaking down organic matter, but indoors, it can pose health risks. Exposure to mold spores can cause allergic reactions, respiratory problems, and exacerbate asthma symptoms. Controlling indoor humidity levels and promptly addressing water leaks or moisture issues are essential in preventing mold growth. Professional mold remediation involves cleaning and treating affected areas to ensure safe living or working conditions.
What causes mold?
Mold growth is primarily caused by excess moisture or humidity indoors. This can result from water leaks, flooding, high indoor humidity levels (typically above 60%), poorly ventilated areas, and condensation on surfaces. Organic materials like wood, drywall, and fabric provide ideal nutrients for mold to grow. Poorly maintained HVAC systems and damp basements or crawl spaces also contribute to mold growth. Addressing water intrusion promptly, maintaining proper ventilation, using dehumidifiers in humid climates, and ensuring adequate insulation can help prevent mold growth. Regular inspection and maintenance of plumbing and building systems are crucial in mitigating mold risks.
How can I tell if I have a mold problem?
Signs of a mold problem include musty or earthy odors, visible mold growth on surfaces (often appearing fuzzy or discolored in shades of green, black, or white), water stains or discoloration on walls or ceilings, and persistent allergic symptoms like sneezing, coughing, or congestion indoors. You may also notice peeling or bubbling paint or wallpaper, or an increase in humidity levels. Conducting a visual inspection, especially in areas prone to moisture such as bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and around windows or pipes, can help identify mold issues. If you suspect mold, it's advisable to seek professional mold testing and remediation to ensure thorough treatment.
How can a Public Adjuster help if I have a mold problem?
A Public Adjuster can assist significantly if you have a mold problem by navigating the complexities of insurance claims. They assess the extent of mold damage, document all necessary evidence, and advocate for fair compensation from your insurance company. Public Adjusters understand policy language and ensure that all applicable coverage is leveraged to maximize your claim. They manage the entire claims process, including negotiations with insurers and coordinating with mold remediation specialists to ensure thorough cleanup and restoration. Their expertise streamlines the process, alleviates stress, and helps expedite the resolution of your mold-related insurance claim.
What to do after Mold Remediation?
After mold remediation, it's crucial to monitor the affected areas for any signs of recurring mold growth. Maintain indoor humidity levels below 60% to prevent mold from returning. Consider improving ventilation in affected areas and using dehumidifiers if necessary. Replace any materials that were irreparably damaged by mold. Conduct regular inspections to catch any potential moisture issues early. Keep records of the remediation process and any repairs made. If you had insurance coverage for mold damage, ensure all documentation is submitted to your insurer. Lastly, prioritize ongoing maintenance and prompt response to any water leaks or moisture problems to prevent future mold issues.
