Mold & Mildew Everywhere - Whats the Fuss?

Toxic mold claims have become one of the hottest issues facing the insurance industry under both personal and commercial line policies. Insurers across the country are dealing with tens of thousands of claims regarding mold. The explosion in claims are because of the increased media attention in recent years. Most commonly filed homeowners damage claims are linked to water and water is necessary for mold to grow.

Mold has become a tremendous emotional issue for many consumer and insurance companies but its important that we responsibly, and rationally. Insurance companies must respond quickly when policyholders report water losses because delay invites the growth of mold, increase the cost of a claim and is poor customer service. Homeowners should immediately stop leaks at their source, dry out the areas and dehumidify their homes to minimize the possibility that mold will accompany a water loss.

When water damage is detected early and a professional restoration contractor provides the mitigation procedures quickly, the conditions for mold growth can be eliminated. To effectively eliminate mold contamination call VioClean 617-279-2448 to mitigate the damage and completely dry down the building with state-of-the-art equipment and procedures.

  3. It's horrible that your water heater pipes have burst. This can easily cause panic in a household. I've found that getting a hold of a reliable service tech immediately will help ease the stress. Be sure to survey the area for further damage, and speak to your insurance to see if they will cover any of the costs.
