Does Homeowner's Insurance Cover Mold?

BioClean CT is a green company that focuses on air quality, water damage cleanup, and mold remediation. Rather than offering many different services, we specialize in these critical areas to give our customers the best experience possible.

What Does Homeowner's Insurance Cover?

Basic homeowners insurance covers damage caused by catastrophic events and extreme weather. It will usually reimburse the cost of your temporary relocation if the house isn't habitable due to the occurrence. Surprisingly, this type of standard insurance typically does not protect against things like earthquakes, flooding, power failure, or destruction from war. It does, however, usually cover medical expenses if someone injures himself or herself on your property. To get coverage for things like flooding and earthquakes, you'll need to purchase additional policies.

Will My Homeowner's Insurance Cover Mold?

Yes, but only if the mold was caused by one of the events covered in your policy. If it was caused by flooding, for example, and you're not covered for this, your insurance won't pay for mold remediation. It also won't cover mold caused by things like household leaks, high humidity, or if a window was left open during a hard rain.

What Should I Do if My Insurance Doesn't Cover Mold?

If your insurance doesn't cover mold, you should find a reputable mold remediation company in your area. It's recommended you ensure that the company:


  • Has the latest, most reliable technology for testing air quality.
  • Will be able to identify the type of mold you have and advise you on how to prevent its return after removal.
  • Uses eco-friendly products and methods which are safe for your family and the environment.
  • Has years of experience in your climate, great reviews, and comes endorsed by other local businesses.
