Mold damage claims can be difficult to understand. Mold itself is not a covered cause of loss, however it is covered if it’s caused by a covered peril. In other words, if you have mold / mildew in the home that is not caused by a covered peril you have no coverage. If the mold and/or mildew damage is caused by or results from a water leak (one example) then an insurance claim for the cost of removal and repairs would be covered.
Most of today’s insurance policies have limits and some exclude coverage completely therefore it is very important to review your policy.
