a. Remediation of the fungi, wet or dry rot, or bacteria. This includes payment for the reasonable and necessary cost to:

(1) Remove the fungi, wet or dry rot, or bacteria from covered property or to repair, restore or replace that property; and
(2) Tear out and replace any part of the building as needed to gain access to the fungi, wet or dry rot, or bacteria.

b. Any reasonable and necessary increase in living expense you incur so that your household can maintain its normal standard of living or loss of fair rental value if the fungi, wet or dry rot, or bacteria makes the residence premises not fit to live in. We do not cover loss or expense due to cancellation of a lease or agreement; and
c. Any reasonable and necessary testing or monitoring of air or property to confirm the absence, presence or level of the fungi, wet or dry rot, or bacteria, whether performed prior to, during or after removal, repair, restoration or replacement. The cost of such testing will be provided only to the extent that there is reason to believe that there is the presence of fungi, wet or dry rot, or bacteria.

We will pay under this additional coverage only if:

a. The covered loss occurs during the policy period;
b. All reasonable means were used to save and preserve the property at the time of and after the covered loss; and
c. We receive prompt notice of the covered cause of loss that is alleged to have resulted in fungi, wet or dry rot, or bacteria.

The most we will pay under this additional coverage is $10,000. This is the most we will pay for the total of all loss or costs regardless of the number of locations or items of property insured under this policy or the number of losses or claims made.

This is not additional insurance and does not increase the limit of liability that applies to the damaged property. The policy deductible will apply to this additional coverage.
