PIA Western Alliance Endorses
Mold Technologies Moisture Management System
Damage from moisture costs insurance companies millions of dollars each year. Moisture in homes and businesses turning to mold adds millions more to that figure in terms of structural damage and eventually health problems that relate to moisture and mold in the air.
Mold Technologies is working with the PIA Western Alliance, an association representing independent insurance agents in nine Western states, to get information to insurance companies about preventing mold damage. The goal is to build awareness within the insurance industry that preventative steps can be taken to reduce insurance company exposure to losses resulting from moisture damage.
The PIA Western Alliance believes the technology and processes used by Mold Technologies is a major benefit to insurance companies and consumers and PIA Western Alliance has endorsed their technology. Mold Technologies was the featured presenter at a recent meeting held by the PIA Western Alliance for company representatives. The PIA Western Alliance also arranged to have Mold Technologies address the Annual PIA National Board Meeting in Portland, Oregon. Representatives from around the nation attended that meeting.
Mold Technologies is promoting a proactive/preventive approach to dealing with the moisture/mold problems and has developed a process to identify issues before they become claims. The philosophy is to use MoldTech® Software by Core Environmental Corporation in conjunction with a moisture management evaluation designed by Mold Technologies to assess properties for existing problems and to identify issues that - if addressed now - will not become a claim in the future.
If this technology is utilized before companies insure a property, claims for moisture problems become manageable. Many of the health claims associated with mold exposure are reduced.
This technology and system benefits everyone. It provides balance by helping contractors find problems before they become expensive claims. It gives consumers health protection. And it assists companies in underwriting property.
Even better, the industry adopting this approach to moisture management will keep government out of the picture.
