Confronting Mold Damage With Comprehensive Legal Support

Mold damage to a property is especially worrisome as it can affect the health of members residing or working in the property. Mold claims are commonly denied as insurance carriers often blame the property owner for their negligence in detecting the issue early on. The problem is that mold often occurs from a small active leak that is not readily noticeable to most property owners. As such, it is important to have a trained expert assist you with the claim process to ensure that insurance companies properly investigate and adjust the claim.

When mold invades your home, it is crucial to address both the symptom and its cause. As your legal team, we are prepared to guide you through the complex aftermath of property damage due to mold. Common causes of mold include:

Persistent flood and water damage

Roof and pipe leaks

Poor ventilation and high humidity

Navigating mold claims requires a strategic approach, as insurance companies may attempt to deny coverage by attributing the damage to preexisting conditions or maintenance issues. This is where our experience becomes invaluable. We dedicate our practice to property damage claims and have the acumen to counteract the tactics of insurance companies effectively.

Musty smells: Mold typically forms where it is wet or moist. Large infestations of mold can smell musty, damp or earthy.

In comparison, hidden mold spots can smell like damp cloths, rotten food or wet leaves.

Dark tile grout: Mold can often be found on the grout between shower tiles. Water trapped between tiles and poor ventilation can cause mold to grow.

Allergic reactions: Mold may not be immediately detectable. The body could react to a mold infestation before it is identified. Some common reactions to mold

include itchy eyes, dry skin, stuffy nose or respiratory issues.

What Are The Signs Of Hidden Mold In Your Home?

However, mold is not always as easy as finding dark spots on walls, although that is one of the most common signs. There are a few other ways to spot mold, including:
