Stamps read the sourced lines about mold after a sudden leak. Covered means a line says so. Maybe means the line hedges, with words like may or limited. Nope means the lines we found only exclude it.

Suncorp home and contents insurance excludes mould and mildew unless an insured event directly caused it and there was no mould already in that area. Owners must remove mould as part of keeping the home in good repair.
