Is mold in basement after flood covered by insurance?
Not all insurance policies are the same. The way to find out what your policy covers is to read the policy. It will tell exactly what coverage you have.
Does insurance cover mandatory basement remodeling?
Your policy may or may not have coverage for mold related issues. This is something to check when you buy a policy as the insurance companies try to avoid having to pay for mold problems which can be very expensive. Standard home insurance policies do not cover mandatory basement remodeling, unless the basement is damaged from an event (e.g. flooding) covered by the policy

Settlement cracks and cracks from ground shifting are not covered.

A slab is cheaper to build than a basement. The basement will give more space but is more likely to leak and more can go wrong.
Is insurance liable to pay the full extent of mold remediation costs resulting from a covered windstorm loss which forced water into a structure through a damaged roof if a 5000 limit exists?
You should check with your insurance company. Many policies specifically state if mold remediation is covered (and if so, by how much) or if mold remediation is excluded.
Does homeowner insurance cover mold?
Generally not. Insurers take the position that mold grows over a period of time and is not the sudden and unexpected occurrence that insurance normally covers. Recent policies have express exclusions for mold coverage. However, if mold is found in the course of repair of a covered loss (for example, a tree fell on a house and it had to be partially reconstructed), as likely as not the mold-damaged area would be repaired if it were part of the repairs necessitated by the covered loss.
Who do you call if insco does not address your mold probem?
First off, no homeowners insurance has ever been made that covers mold. In the last few years due to litigation some companies have added a limited amount of mold coverage to their policy. Mold is a maintenance issue and should not be covered by homeowners insurance. The only reason that some are now is strictly because of one lawsuit by Ed McMann who sued his insurance company and ended up being awarded more that the home cost just because of who he was and the jury's incompetence. Homeowners insurance is made to cover items that are the result of covered causes only and basically incidents that are sudden and accidental. Because of this suit everyone's home insurance in the nation has increased. Many states have allowed companies to specifically exclude mold damage. Some have not. Even so mold is not a covered cause on any policy.
Can I file a claim with my auto insurance if my car has mold growth?
If the mold growth is not a result of a covered cause of loss (such as collision or an occurrence provided for by the comprehensive coverage), no. Further, mold ordinarily grows over a long period of time. Since car insurance does not cover your failure to maintain the car and to prevent the mold, the insurer will not cover it.

Does homeowners insurance cover mold removal under house caused by storm water running in?
The mold and water damage would not be covered if the storm water entered the home from the surface level of the home. If it came through the roof or windows it would be covered assuming the mold is not excluded. Some carriers have reduced limits for mold related remediation.
