Is mold covered lower than a standard homeowners insurance policy?
Answers:
It depends on your policy. Some exclude it entirely, some don't, many enjoy dollar limits for mold remediation. In almost adjectives cases, however, if there is mold coverage, it one and only goes into effect if the mold come from an otherwise-covered event.
For example, assume that you have coverage for pipes that burst or filter and you also have mold coverage (of some amount). If you grasp mold because of a pipe leak, you could receive mold coverage if your contract allowed it.
Insurers have worked unyielding to limit the dollar amounts they stipulation to pay for mold claims.

No, it is not.
Nope. Insurance companies protected their money from mold lawsuits years ago.
I don't estimate it is. Most homes, particularly contained by the south, have some mold or mildew somewhere contained by the home. It wouldn't make financial sense for the insurance companies to cover it.
It depends. There are so several different coversages...different comapanies, different regions, experience different risks/perils. You need to bring a copy of your Homeowners insurance policy from your AGENT. READ your policy. If you do not understand the coverage...ASK your agent to dance over it. The verbage in policy can be extremely confusing to a homeowner. I am an adjuster and it is confusing to us at times. Thisis the one and only real channel you will know what you are covered for. Where the mold came from, HOW it come into being...these are factor in whether or not it is covered.
