Mold damage is dangerous to both your health, your property, and your wallet. Mold remediation is incredibly costly even for minor claims. Damage by the mold could undermine the integrity of your property. Mold spores can also cause serious health issues, particularly for young children, the elderly, or people with asthma. Insurance companies know this and train their adjusters to get around paying mold claims by claiming preexisting damage or damage due to a failure to mitigate. Sometimes adjusters will outright lie to avoid paying a claim. This is unacceptable.

There are many common ways that mold damage could occur in your home. The most general types of mold claims occur due to the following:
Hurricane and tropical storm damage Broken pipes Flooding Roof leaks Window leaks Sewage backups Other serious problemsMold damage is unique in that it can occur within 24-48 hours after water intrusions such as leaks or flooding. Mold can quickly spread throughout the property, including to areas that were not flooded. Spores can pollute the air in rooms that were not a part of the damaged area at all, including rooms that were sealed from the original damage. Insurance companies know this and generally exclude or greatly limit mold damage from most policies.
The process becomes more frustrating when water, flooding, or storms cause the initial damage to the property, but an insurance company will not let a homeowner repair the damage, dry out the property, or otherwise address the issue before mold starts to develop. Other times, insurance companies allow a property owner to start mold abatement and prevention but will not pay until a claims adjuster can come outside the 24-48 hour window. This means that mold will start to cause damage to the property, and an adjuster will claim the overall damage was not from water but from the mold. This means that a claim could be denied if there was no extra mold coverage. This isn’t fair and yet it happens all too often.
Call Schlacter Law if this has happened to you. Mold simply will not grow unless there are wet conditions present. We will make sure that your mold damage claim is not the main focus of the damage, but rather whatever caused the moisture in the first place, including water damage from pipes, storms, or other unfortunate events.
