Mold And Gradual Water Damage
Mold is a high interest topic because coverage varies and often has strict limits. Many policies cover mold only when it results from a covered sudden event, and even then payouts can be capped. Gradual seepage, repeated leaks, and humidity related mold are commonly excluded. Quick mitigation matters, so report water losses fast, document drying efforts, and consider water backup or limited mold endorsements where offered.
