Is mold from a burst pipe covered by insurance?

In most Oregon and Washington homeowner policies, mold that grows as a direct result of a sudden covered water loss is covered up to a sub-limit (commonly $5,000 to $10,000). We document the timeline to support the claim.

Can you handle both the water damage and the mold?

Yes. Doing both under one crew avoids the classic gap where a water contractor dries the surface, leaves, and mold blooms behind the wall three weeks later.

How fast can you start?

We dispatch 24/7 across the Portland metro and typically start containment and demo within 24 hours of the inspection.

What we handle

Mold after a water loss is the most common remediation call we run in Portland. A slow supply-line leak under a Beaverton kitchen sink, a sump-pump failure during an atmospheric river in Sellwood, or a roof leak in an NE Portland craftsman all follow the same pattern: hidden moisture, 48 to 72 hours of drying time missed, and colonization inside wall cavities, subfloors, and cabinet bases. We remove the affected materials per IICRC S520, dry the assembly to documented dry standard per IICRC S500, and coordinate the source repair so the same wall does not re-mold six months later.

How It Works

Our Water Damage Mold Removal Process

1
Inspect
Locate the moisture source, map the affected assemblies, and scope both the water and mold work in one visit.
2
Contain
Seal the work area with 6-mil poly and run negative-air HEPA scrubbers so spores do not spread to clean rooms.
3
Remove and dry
Demo affected porous materials per IICRC S520 and dry framing and structural assemblies per IICRC S500.
4
Verify and restore
Post-remediation verification, then rebuild - drywall, flooring, cabinets, trim - so the space is turnkey.
