What Does Your Mold Damage Insurance Cover?
If you experience mold damage in your home due to water damage from a hurricane, flood or any other covered event, your mold damage will be considered in the total compensation of your claim.
Coverage from a mold damage claim may be minimal without the help of professionals. Submitting your claim without the help of Sentry Public Adjusting can result in the primary insurance claim being paid out without consideration for thousands of dollars in mold damage remediation.
Filing a mold damage insurance claim that isn’t due to another covered event falls in a gray area of most homeowners’ insurance policies. If you live in a high humidity area, such as South Florida, mold can be a massive problem in your home.
When proper precautionary measures aren’t taken, mold damage can be discounted as a maintenance issue in your home and can lead to inadequate compensation from a water damage insurance claim.
Mold Remediation and Mold Removal: How to Properly Handle Mold Damage
The fundamental issue of mold is a moisture problem; mold needs moisture to grow and survive. Because some mold is not visible, it can be very hard to diagnose the extent of mold damage as a homeowner.
Also, mold isn’t confined to one specific area. An inspection should be thorough and involve the entire home. There are different levels of mold remediation, and this can be evaluated and performed by professionals.
Mold spores are always there; you cannot completely remove mold from homes no matter what false promises are made by mold removal companies. You can control an existing mold problem or replace what has been damaged by mold. Mold is naturally occurring and can only be managed, cleaned and prevented.
This is often a thorough and expensive process that may not be covered under your initial insurance claim. Allowing Sentry Public Adjusting to handle your mold damage insurance claim will help you receive the best compensation for your damages.

Important Things to Know About Mold Damage Insurance Claims
