The Mold Remediation Process
7/1/2020 (Permalink)
We get a number of calls each week from San Mateo homeowners concerned that they may have mold. The truth is, 9 times out of 10 if you suspect you have mold damage, you do. By that time you probably have noticed a musty smell or even potentially have seen mold growth on your walls or personal items.
The next usual question is - well is this going to be covered by my homeowner's insurance? And that's a tricky question to answer because there's no firm answer either way! Sometimes mold removal and remediation are covered by your homeowner's policy if it was caused by a "covered peril", like sudden water damage, otherwise more than likely the answer is going to be no. If you suspect you have a mold problem though, don't hesitate to give our team a call. This is our specialty after all, and we offer on-site assessments to help you determine a path forward. Simply call the SERVPRO of San Mateo office at 650-931-6060, and one of our team members would be happy to schedule a mold walk-through assessment. Then, we can provide you with an estimate and talk to you about your options.
