Can you get help from your insurer if you have mold damage in your home or business in Florida? Here's what you need to know.

 The Basics

The short answer is yes, some insurance policies will cover mold damage in Florida. However, this isn't always the case and there are a few other factors that come into play as well. Specifically, how much coverage you'll get depends on the type of policy you have and what kind of damage was caused by the mold. For example, most standard homeowner’s policies do not cover any damage that occurs due to mold growth except for limited water-related damage. This means that if the cause of the mold is a plumbing leak or flood, then your policy may cover some of the costs associated with removing and repairing any damage caused by the mold. In terms of businesses, most commercial property insurance policies provide coverage for mold up to a certain limit. However, this coverage only applies if it was caused by a covered peril like fire or water damage (for example).

 

Understanding Your Coverage Limits

It's important to understand that different insurers set their own limits when it comes to how much coverage they will provide for Mold-related damage in Florida. This can range anywhere from just covering basic repairs up to large-scale restoration projects. It's therefore essential that you read through your policy carefully prior to filing any claims so that you know exactly what is and isn't covered under your plan.
