Best Answer

You'll have to actually read your warranty to find out if it covers mold or not.

Generally the answer though would be no. This is because it has been decided that mold of all types has been with civilization from the beginning.

To avoid mold issues in your home make sure you do not seal up areas where moisture can set up and air the house out regularly on days when the weather is nice.

Most insurance companies also will no longer cover mold related maintenance issues.
