Worried about out-of-pocket costs? We work directly with most insurance carriers, provide Xactimate-standard estimates, and can connect you with third-party financing if insurance won’t cover the work. Start with our plain-language guide to mold and homeowners insurance in Maryland.
Short answer: sometimes. Whether your homeowners insurance covers mold remediation depends on what caused the mold. If mold developed as a direct result of a "sudden and accidental" covered event — like a burst pipe or storm damage — many policies will cover remediation costs, subject to the policy's mold limits and exclusions. If mold was caused by long-term neglect or gradual leaks, coverage is usually excluded.
Our team documents the damage during your $189 inspection — dated photos, moisture readings, and the identified water source — and prepares an Xactimate-formatted estimate that insurance adjusters recognize and process quickly. Coverage decisions rest with your carrier and the terms of your policy.
Montgomery County sits in mixed flood-risk terrain — from AE zones along the Potomac to X zones in upland Bethesda. Understanding which policy covers what is critical before a loss happens. Our guide to water damage restoration costs shows the starting prices and what a claim-ready estimate itemizes.
| Coverage Type | Homeowners (HO-3) | NFIP Flood Insurance |
|---|---|---|
| Burst pipe / appliance leak | ✅ Covered | ❌ Not covered |
| Storm water through roof/windows | ✅ Covered | ❌ Not covered |
| Flood / surface water intrusion | ❌ Not covered | ✅ Covered |
| Mold from covered water event | ⚠️ Often — subject to mold limits/exclusions | ⚠️ Limited — building only |
| Gradual leak / maintenance | ❌ Not covered | ❌ Not covered |
| Mold coverage limit | Varies — many policies apply a mold sublimit; check your declarations | Very limited by NFIP |
| MoCo FEMA flood zones | N/A | Required for AE / A zones with a federally backed mortgage |
Coverage limits and terms vary by carrier and policy. Always review your specific policy — we can explain what our documentation supports; your carrier makes the coverage decision.
OUR PROCESS
A four-step process designed to remove friction from the claims experience.
IICRC-certified technicians inspect the affected area, document damage with dated photos, record moisture readings, and identify the water-damage source. This documentation is the foundation of a successful claim.
We prepare your estimate in Xactimate — the industry-standard software insurance adjusters use. This means faster approvals, fewer back-and-forth revisions, and line-item transparency your carrier expects.
With your authorization, we bill your insurance company directly. Our admin team coordinates with adjusters, provides the documentation they ask for, and prepares supplemental estimates when the scope changes — so you're not stuck as the middleman.
Projects close with post-remediation verification — independent air-quality clearance testing where the scope calls for it — giving your carrier, you, and future buyers documented proof that the remediation met its completion criteria.
Whether insurance pays or not, we have options to make remediation affordable.
With your written authorization, we bill your carrier directly — your out-of-pocket cost depends on your carrier's coverage decision and your deductible. Available with most carriers that accept direct billing.
We accept major credit cards, debit cards, checks, and bank transfers (ACH) for any portion insurance doesn't cover.
If insurance won't cover the work, financing may be available through our lending partner. Mold Pro Solutions doesn't make loans; the lender reviews each application and decides approval and terms.
IF INSURANCE WON'T COVER IT
Often, yes. Mold Pro Solutions is not a lender: we work with Acorn Finance, a platform that lets you check offers from multiple lenders for projects of $1,000 or more. Start with your homeowners insurance (above). If your claim is denied, or only part of the work is covered, financing can cover the rest.
Every remediation and water damage project starts with a free, written estimate. Financing applies to projects of $1,000 or more.
Use Mold Pro Solutions' Acorn Finance link to see prequalified offers from multiple lenders. Prequalification is a soft credit check and will not impact your score.
If you accept an offer, the lender funds the project and we schedule your remediation. A hard inquiry is only performed once you choose and proceed with a lender.

Mold Pro Solutions is not a lender and does not charge you for this option. Approval, rates and terms are decided by the lender.
Acorn Finance disclosure: “If approved, funding times may vary. We work with some lenders that do not have a requirement for a credit check and use income and/or employment to make decisions on eligibility for their financial products. Underwriting criteria is established by our partners, not Acorn Finance. Most of our lenders will do a soft pull, which does not impact your credit score; however, our funding partners will conduct a hard credit pull when you express interest in an offer, and this could impact your credit score. Not currently available in USA territories or outside the USA.”

Many Maryland homeowners policies cover mold remediation when mold results from a sudden and accidental covered peril — like a burst pipe or storm damage. Mold from gradual leaks or poor maintenance is usually excluded. Coverage varies by policy: some exclude mold entirely, others apply a mold sublimit — check your declarations page or ask your carrier.
Standard homeowners insurance covers water damage from internal sources (pipes, appliances, roof leaks) but excludes flooding from external surface water. Flood insurance (usually through NFIP) covers flood-caused damage but has very limited mold coverage and only for the building, not personal property. If you're in a MoCo FEMA AE zone, you likely need both.
Yes. With your signed authorization, we bill your insurance carrier directly. Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your carrier's coverage decision and your deductible. We coordinate with adjusters, provide Xactimate-formatted estimates, and prepare supplemental estimates throughout the project.
We can provide additional documentation (moisture mapping, photo evidence, IICRC-based reports) to support a reconsideration request you submit to your carrier; for policy disputes, a Maryland-licensed public adjuster, an attorney, or the Maryland Insurance Administration are the right resources. If the claim remains denied, you can pay for the work directly or apply for financing through our third-party lending partner, subject to the lender's approval and terms.
Yes. Mold Pro Solutions holds a Maryland Home Improvement Commission (MHIC) license (168584), carries IICRC certifications for mold remediation and water damage restoration, maintains active general liability coverage, and covers all employees under workers' compensation. Certificates of Insurance available on request.
Yes. Mold caused by a sudden, covered water event may be part of a homeowners claim, which can reduce what you would need to finance. Send us your policy's declarations page and we document the damage for your adjuster; financing is the fallback if the claim is denied or only partly covered.
No. Mold Pro Solutions is not a lender and does not charge you for this option. Financing is offered through Acorn Finance, a platform that connects you with multiple lenders; the lender you choose reviews your application and decides approval, rates and terms.
Prequalification through Acorn Finance is a soft credit check and will not impact your score. A hard inquiry is only performed once you choose an offer and proceed with that lender.
Mold remediation and water damage restoration projects of $1,000 or more, which is the lending platform's minimum. Inspections and testing are below that minimum and are paid directly.
