Mold & Water Damage Insurance
Insurance coverage for mold and water damage is one of the most confusing parts of dealing with a mold problem — mostly because the honest answer is "it depends," not the reassuring yes or no most people want to hear. This section explains how coverage actually works: what's covered, what's excluded, and what actually determines whether a claim gets approved. We don't handle claims ourselves, but our inspection reports are written to be usable as the documentation a claim or appeal needs.
