How to Document Mold Damage for an Insurance Claim

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.



Here’s how to properly document mold damage:

  • Take Clear Photos
    Capture detailed images of all visible mold growth, water stains, damaged materials, and affected belongings from multiple angles.
  • Keep a Written Log
    Note when you first noticed signs of mold or moisture, what areas were affected, and any actions you took (such as drying, cleaning, or repairs).
  • Save All Related Receipts
    This includes inspection costs, cleanup services, mold tests, or any purchases made to address the issue.
  • Request a Professional Assessment
    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
    The sooner you report the damage and submit your evidence, the better your chances of a smooth claims process.
