Is Mold Remediation Covered By Home Insurance?

Mold remediation may be covered by your home insurance policy. To determine if mold remediation is covered, you need to find out why the mold is growing in your home and whether the cause of the mold growth is covered. For example, if you had a pipe burst and that led to mold growth, mediation would be covered, as burst pipes are usually covered under your home insurance policy. However, if heavy rains caused a river to overflow its banks, and that caused mold growth, that likely would not be covered unless you had a stand-alone flood insurance policy. Flooding caused by heavy rains and overflowing rivers or waterways is typically excluded from home insurance policies. 

Home insurance may cover mold remediation, depending on the cause of the mold growth and the inclusions and exclusions of your specific home insurance policy. If you want to purchase a new home insurance policy or have questions about an existing policy, North Georgia Insurance Center, serving the greater Commerce, GA area, would love to work with you and answer your questions.
