Discovering mold in your home can be overwhelming, and one of the first questions many homeowners ask is, “Will my insurance cover this?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The answer is: it depends on what caused the mold.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Most homeowners insurance policies cover mold remediation when the mold results from a covered, sudden, and accidental event<\/strong>, such as a burst pipe, an appliance malfunction, or water damage from a covered loss. However, mold caused by long-term leaks, deferred maintenance, or ongoing humidity is often excluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you discover mold, don’t wait to see if it spreads. Contact your insurance company to discuss your coverage and have the property inspected by a professional restoration company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At PuroClean of Auburn, ME<\/strong>, we work with homeowners throughout Auburn, Lewiston, Turner, Greene, and surrounding communities to assess mold damage, identify moisture sources, and provide professional remediation services.
