Question 1

Does homeowners insurance cover mold?

Accepted Answer

Coverage depends on the cause. Mold from a sudden pipe burst is often covered. Mold from long-term neglect or maintenance issues usually is not. Check your policy or call your insurer before filing a claim.

Question 2

Is mold testing necessary or can I just see it?

Accepted Answer

Visible mold tells you there is a problem but not how bad it is. Hidden mold behind walls and elevated spore counts in the air are common even when you only see a small patch. Testing gives the full picture.

Question 3

When should I get a mold inspection?

Accepted Answer

After water damage, before buying a home, if you smell something musty, or if anyone in the household has unexplained respiratory issues. Mold grows within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure, so act quickly after leaks or floods.

Question 4

Does Sherlock Home Inspection do remediation too?

Accepted Answer

Some companies inspect and remediate, others only inspect. If they do both, ask how they handle the conflict of interest. Ideally, the company diagnosing the problem is separate from the one being paid to fix it. Call (516) 983-8893.
