More FAQs- What is black mould?
- Who is responsible for paying for the service?
- What makes SRM different than other disaster restoration companies?
Black mould (Statchybotrys chartarum) is greenish-black in colour and grows in conditions where there is an excessive amount of moisture over a long period of time. Water damage, excessive humidity, water leaks and condensation in small, damp places like bathrooms all create a perfect breeding ground for black mould. Black mould releases microtoxins, a noxious substance that can cause serious health problems for humans and pets.
As the property owner you are responsible for payment and will need to sign a form authorizing payment for the restoration services. If this is an insurance claim, ServiceMaster Restore generally collects only the deductible (co-payment) amount from you and bills the balance to your insurance provider as a service to you. If you have a large loss, your mortgage company may be included as a payee on the payment from your insurance company, and you may need to obtain a signature from them as well. If your claim is not covered by insurance or you decide not to file a claim, you will be expected to pay in full. A payment schedule may be agreed upon prior to the start of any non-insured work.
When it comes to managing disasters and restoring commercial properties, you may find several options available to you. However, many provide only primary reconstruction and mitigation, which may need to be improved following a disaster. At ServiceMaster Recovery Management (SRM), we offer a complete and comprehensive solution to all your recovery needs, making us your full-service partner in a fast, safe, and effective recovery.
