Does homeowner insurance cover black mold?
Your homeowner's policy typically has what is called "all risk" coverage with specific exclusions. What is typically covered by your homeowner's policy is damage that occurs suddenly and accidentally. Since any kind of mold requires time to grow, it doesn't meet the "suddenly and accidentally" criteria. In addition, coverage for mold is usually listed in the exclusions of your homeowners insurance policy. Most likely, the reason for the specific exclusion is that mold can be prevented through proper construction, when using the proper materials and having proper ventilation. The only way I can see having mold removal covered by your insurance is if your home flooded and then it developed black mold before you were able to have the damage repaired. Review your homeowner's policy and talk to your insurance agent so you aren't in for any surprises should the unthinkable happen and you are faced with mold in your home.

Call your Insurance Agent, he should be able to advise you of your coverage. You could also refer to your policy language and look for the terms "Mold or Fungi".

Most Mold and fungi is considered a maintenance issue and coverage is provided through endorsement for an additional premium these days. Just make sure whoever is replacing your mold is a licensed contractor. You do not want someone who will install black mold incorrectly. (just kidding)

You may want to contact the Kentucky Department of Insurance, but odds are, the policy is worthless by now. If the company went through a formal liquidation process, notices would have been sent to policyholders of record. If there were assets available for distribution, the Department of Insurance would have done so.
