damage claims

Water damage can strike unexpectedly, whether from a burst pipe, roof leak, storm damage, or flooding. If not addressed immediately, water can lead to mold growth, causing additional health hazards and structural damage.

No commitment required

Water & Mold Damage Insurance Coverage

  • Water Damage Coverage: Most homeowners insurance policies cover sudden and accidental water damage such as burst pipes, plumbing failures, or storm damage. However, they may exclude gradual damage like slow leaks or neglect-related issues. Flood damage is typically not covered under standard policies and requires separate flood insurance.

  • Mold Damage Coverage: Mold growth is a common issue following water damage, especially in Florida’s hot and humid climate. Left untreated, mold can cause serious health problems and reduce indoor air quality. Many property insurance policies include mold damage coverage, but they often impose a policy cap (typically around $10,000) or deny claims due to policy exclusions.
