Usually only if the mold was caused by a sudden, covered event — like a burst pipe or water heater failure that you addressed right away. Mold from a long-term leak or ongoing basement humidity is typically not covered unless you have a specific policy rider for it. We document everything in the format your insurance company expects to help speed up the review.

We don't recommend it. Household bleach is mostly water, and on porous surfaces like wood or drywall, that water soaks in while the chlorine stays on the surface. This can actually feed the mold's root system, causing it to grow back stronger. Real removal takes HEPA vacuuming, physical scrubbing, and EPA-registered treatments.

Containment keeps the mold-affected area sealed off from the rest of your home. We put up sealed barriers and run HEPA air scrubbers that pull air outward, so disturbed spores can't spread into clean rooms or get pulled into your HVAC system during the cleanup.

Most projects take 2 to 5 days, depending on how much damage there is and how much containment is needed. That includes setup, removal, treatment, and drying. We recommend keeping the containment up until an independent lab air test confirms spore counts are back to a normal, safe level.
