The same website reports that when and why your property is damaged will make an impact on whether your water damage or mold infestation is covered by your insurance. Although it\u2019s typically easy for property owners to discover a sudden leak, gradual leaks are often overlooked or undiscovered until significant damage has occurred. If a storm makes a hole in your structure, you\u2019ll want to get it repaired as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>According to the Office of the Washington State Insurance Commissioner, although excess water buildup may be responsible for mold infestations, a standard property insurance policy will not typically cover mold damage, rust, or rot. In some cases, your insurance may cover those damages if you can show that it was caused by water damage. Some property insurance policies offer limited mold damage coverage.
