You should double check with your agent at AFI Insurance to see how much coverage you have, and then get an extra policy that covers the possessions you need protected.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Home Insurance Will Cover Mold<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many times home insurance will not cover mold or damages that are caused by poor maintenance.
