Insurance and mold
Worried insurance won't pay for the mold?
Most commercial policies exclude mold. The standard ISO commercial form makes one exception: the mold exclusion does not apply when the mold results from fire or lightning.
Your adjuster will want to see that the mold came from the fire water, and that you acted fast. The Prime Restoration file shows both, from the first visit.
What your adjuster gets from Prime Restoration
- Dated photos of every room, before anything is touched
- Moisture readings on a map of the building, every visit
- Thermal images of the hidden water, confirmed with a meter
- An itemized estimate, line by line

The second loss
Mold after the fire is out
Fire hoses soak the walls, ceiling tiles and the floor under the coolers. A warm kitchen grows mold fast. The EPA says to dry wet materials within 24 to 48 hours to prevent mold growth.
Prime Restoration dries it, reads it with a meter on every visit, and checks behind and above before anything is closed up.

Quick answers
Will my insurance pay for the mold?
Call Prime Restoration first. On the standard ISO commercial form, the mold exclusion does not apply when the mold results from fire or lightning. Your policy may read differently, and your carrier decides under your policy. Prime Restoration starts a dated record of photos, readings and thermal images on the first visit, and works with your adjuster from there.
How soon can we reopen?
It depends on how far the smoke and water went. Your county health department signs off on reopening. After the walk-through, Prime Restoration gives you a plan with a timeline, plus the photo and reading record for the inspector.
Can Prime Restoration work around our hours?
Yes. Prime Restoration schedules around your hours and contain the work area so the rest of the building stays usable where it can.
What should I do before you arrive?
Wait for the fire department to release the building. Keep the heat and AC off, because the fan pulls soot into rooms the fire never reached. Do not wipe soot, because wiping drives it in. Then call Prime Restoration.
