- Will my insurance cover the costs associated with biohazard cleanup services?
- What will it cost to run the drying equipment?
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 a commercial business owner, you may be concerned about the costs associated with biohazard cleanup services. However, many insurance policies do cover this type of service, especially if it is deemed necessary for the health and safety of your employees and customers. Our team at ServiceMaster Restore is experienced in working with insurance companies and can assist you in filing a claim.
Based on average monthly electricity billing rates, it may cost approximately one dollar per day per piece of drying equipment to operate. Actual rates will vary depending on the energy rates charged by your electricity provider.
