Mold Damage
Mold Damage Insurance Claims Attorney – Remediation & Coverage Disputes in Florida
Mold often appears after water leaks, plumbing issues, roof intrusion or storm damage — and once it spreads, it can quickly affect drywall, flooring, insulation and indoor air quality. Although mold remediation is expensive, insurance carriers frequently deny or limit claims by labeling them as maintenance issues, arguing delayed reporting, or only covering minimal surface cleaning rather than full restoration of affected areas. When coverage is restricted or the insurer challenges the cause of loss, homeowners need representation that understands how to prove linkage between the water event and resulting mold growth under Florida policy terms.
We assist homeowners and property owners with mold damage insurance claims involving hidden moisture, HVAC spread, structural contamination, and post-water loss damage, whether the claim is new, underpaid, or denied. Our approach centers on documentation, causation proof, and full-scope remediation — not partial treatments that leave mold behind. With evidence-backed assessment, we work to recover compensation for remediation, reconstruction, testing, contents damage, and related losses.
