Does insurance cover mold removal?
Many homeowner policies only cover mold removal when it is a direct result of another covered incident, such as water damage. Mold that is related to a “covered peril,” for example, a burst water pipe. Unfortunately, most insurance does not cover mold removal as a result of a flood. That would only be covered in relation to any additional flood insurance you may have.
