What applies across Minnesota
Neither the state of Minnesota nor any federal agency licenses or certifies mold investigators or remediators. Homeowners can hire indoor air quality service providers or mold remediation professionals to help investigate and remediate mold.
Neither flood insurance nor a typical homeowner's insurance policy covers damage from sewer back-ups or from sump pumps unable to handle runoff from a major downpour. Homeowners must buy a separate product or endorsement for that, and water damage from a broken pipe in the house would be covered.

For ongoing moisture problems in rental housing, the Minnesota Department of Health says tenants should notify the landlord in writing and request that repairs be completed within 14 days. It also says porous materials with mold growth, such as drywall, carpet, upholstery and insulation, are difficult to clean and should be thrown away.
