Mold Remediation And Insurance Claims
Mold is simply a fungus. Moreover, there are all kinds. Not only is it outdoors, but it exists indoors as well. At small levels, the mold is not usually a problem. However, there are a few exceptions. Mold usually requires a moist breeding ground to grow and reproduce. It can grow almost anywhere water exists and if you have ever needed mold remediation then you know that it .” in places that have high humidity. In most cases, the mold is confined to areas closest to the source of the water. If you have just experienced water damage of any kind, it is crucial that you seek out mold remediation services within the first 48 hours to prevent mold growth.
Much mold insurance claims arise in one of two scenarios. First, the property owner needs mold remediation because they notice mold along with ongoing moisture buildup, water leaks or intrusions that have gone on for some period without the owner knowing. Second, after sudden,. accidental floods or leaks from plumbing systems or appliances, there are delays in or failure to properly dry out the damaged building fixtures or belongings, and there is a need for mold remediation.
If you are making a claim to your insurer because you need mold remediation, you are making what is known as a “first party” claim. However, if you are asking your insurer to come and investigate or defend a claim against you–for example, if your tenants need mold remediation and is suing you for mold contamination–you are making a “third-party” claim. Here are two things you should remember for each case scenario.
Every Policy Is Different
Commercial property, Homeowner and renter property policies are different from insurer to insurer. Whether the mold remediation is covered under your particular policy depends on your policy language as well as the causes of the contamination. Read through the policy carefully. Some policies are “specified peril”, which may cover mold remediation if you can prove that it is caused by one of the listed causes or “perils”. Some policies are “all risk”, which may cover contamination unless the insurer can prove the cause(s) is excluded in your policy.
Most policies have a long list of exclusions for mold damage, wet or dry rot, pollution, corrosion, wear and tear, faulty workmanship and the like. Moreover, to make matters even more complicated, some of them have limited “exceptions” that may provide limited coverage for mold remediation. In several states, in response to insurer boycotts, regulators are developing rules to give insurers the right to provide minimum mold remediation coverage unless the policyholder buys a more expensive plan separately.
It is vital to select a company that you can trust.
