Filing a mold damage claim can be tricky, especially if you don’t have the right documentation. At AIM Green Restoration, we assist Columbus, OH homeowners not only with mold remediation but also with the steps needed to support a successful insurance claim.

- Take Clear Photos

A written mold inspection and damage report from a licensed company like AIM Green Restoration can add significant credibility to your insurance claim. - Communicate Promptly With Your Insurer
