Nobody wants to find mold in their home or office. But if you do, make sure you're prepared.
Did You find mold in your home or office?
In the event that mold affects your home or business, you will need to file a claim with your insurance company. Here are the steps to file a mold damage insurance claim: Contact your agent and provide them with as much information as possible. This includes the date and time of when you found the mold, where it was found, what types of materials were affected, and any other losses sustained.
However, there are always insurance questions that come up. What is covered? What isn’t covered? How much will my claim be worth? Who pays for this? What if my claim is denied? Can I appeal this decision?
This is where a mold damage public adjuster can step in to help out. Public adjusters are agents representing the interests of policyholders in the settlement of claims arising from property damage. The job is to investigate and analyze claims. This can be done by looking at historical data, such as weather records and other similar incidents, to determine what should happen with a given property damage claim.
Public adjusters are licensed professionals that take care of property owners’ insurance needs, including property loss or damage caused by mold and other environmental issues.
Mold Issues Aren't Easy To Deal With. We Can Help.
Mold damage can be disastrous and can happen almost anywhere. The problem is when it’s found in a house or office building. After a natural disaster, broken windows, large foundation cracks, and damaged structures can lead to mold contamination if not properly managed, and managing it can be very difficult.
Mold can get in between walls, under floors, and inside crevices. It can also ruin wood beams, electronics, drywall, and more. Moreover, managing the mold can be a very expensive task. Depending on how bad the mold is, entire walls and panels may need to be taken out and replaced.
You Found Mold. What Now?
First off, make sure that the problem isn’t getting worse. Once the mold is found, keeping the mold at bay is extremely important to ensure the property isn’t getting worse. Stop any water flow to any appliances and pipes, and remove any mold-ridden things. Remember! Don’t throw away any damaged property! You’ll need to show the insurance company all the evidence when making the claim.
All necessary repairs to stop any more damage to your property should be done within 48 hours of the mold damage discovery. At Crestview Public Adjusters, we’ll help ensure that all the evidence is preserved and that all the repairs will satisfy the insurance company’s expectations.
