Mold is virtually everywhere in Florida and is present in almost every building in this state. Mold can result from a water loss and is usually covered under a property insurance policy although many insurers have placed limitations on the coverage for mold covered by their policies. Some molds can cause significant health problems for those individuals allergic to certain types of mold.

Mold can be present in the air we breathe both indoors and outdoors, and it grows on virtually every surface. Mold grows more rapidly in warm wet environments and when excessive moisture accumulates. Sometimes water intrusion is not found until mold develops.

The best way to fight mold is by utilizing an experienced, professional water/mold remediation company to find and dry all wet areas and chemically treat the affected area to prevent mold.

Unfortunately, more than just the submission of your claim is frequently necessary to force the insurer to live up to it’s obligations. In those cases, we initiate appraisal or litigation to enforce your contract rights in the courts. The course we utilize differs from case to case depending upon the facts, amounts in dispute, the terms and conditions of the insurance policy and our client’s needs and desires.

At Pilka & Wells, we have the experience and willingness to do everything possible to maximize your recovery.
