When it comes to mold, there are a lot of misconceptions and misinformation floating around, and not understanding what mold is or how it impacts you or your property can lead to unnecessary damages and health consequences. Some of our most commonly asked questions about mold removal Columbus and mold remediation Columbus include:

• What is mold?

  • Mold is a general term for several species of fungus. Mold exists in nature to be among the first actors in decomposing organic matter. It can be found in large quantities on practically every surface, and in every breath of air.

• Why is mold growing in my house?

  • Mold spreads it’s spores through the air looking for the perfect environment to set up shop and start growing. To grow mold needs a livable temperature, organic matter, and moisture. Our houses or business properties already have the temperature that mold requires and the organic matter that it needs for food, so as soon as any water or increased humidity is involved, mold will begin to grow.

• Do I have black mold?

  • The short answer is that there is only one way to tell, and that is by having the mold tested. This is because ‘black mold’ is often referring to a dangerous species of mold that turns very dark green, almost black in color. The issue is that there are several relatively harmless species of mold that look nearly identical to the naked eye.

Any costs incurred or losses taken from mold damage, unfortunately, is very rarely covered by your typical homeowner’s insurance policy. This is, in part, because mold damage can often be traced to poor home maintenance or some form of negligence. However, there are some instances where your insurance claim may have you covered. If your home was damaged by a water related disaster, and the mold occurred as a result of that damage, in many cases, your insurance provider will cover the cost of removal and remediation of that mold.

If you have any questions about insurance coverage for mold damage, the best thing you can do is give your insurance provider a call and ask them to walk you through your specific coverage for mold damage.
