Arnesen Webb Now Representing Homeowners In Mold Damage Insurance Claims

Arnesen Webb, P.A. has announced the availability of free consultations for homeowners in South Florida who believe they may have mold damage and need to claim on insurance. Based in Boca Raton, Arnesen Webb explained that they will consult with and represent homeowners to ensure that they get the most possible from their insurance companies when dealing with mold damage.

Jay Arnesen, with the law firm, states, "Mold is a big problem for homeowners in South Florida regions because of the climate and moisture. It is essentially a breeding ground for mold."

It has been observed that moisture can come into homes from a number of sources including leaky pipes and roofs, as well as problems with drainage. Mold can grow sometimes for years before it is detected, and can become so severe that mold remediation will need to be done. This generally involves completely tearing down walls and anything else in the home where the mold is growing.

"It's a horrible situation," states Jay Arnesen. "People just don't know how extensive this damage can be, and by the time they realize that damage has been done, it's too late. It takes a complete overhaul of the home to clear it out, which can be very expensive."

The law firm has also noticed that most insurance policies have limits in place for mold coverage, many offering only $10,000 for damage, while other policies may not cover mold damage at all. Insurance companies adjust mold damage claims often by labeling some damage as caused by mold, when in actuality, the growth of mold is not the initial problem. Jay Arnesen pointed out that homeowners need to know that often it is an event, such as a pipe or roof leak, that cause the initial damage, and that these damages should be covered under their homeowner's insurance policy.

The firm also wants to emphasize that filing the claim properly is crucial for being paid. Arnesen Webb, P.A. offers a free consultation for homeowners who believe they may have mold damage, and urges those homeowners to act quickly to keep those claims from being denied.
