It should show your deductable on your statement sheet. Every six months you should get a statement sheet along with a bill for your insurance. If you can find a statement sheet, call Allstate up and show them proof. Jesus...$5,000...that is crazy! BTW, Allstate is a horrible insurance company to have insurance through. They are on par with Safeco. I would drop them and go with Costco insurance. If you have a Costco close by, sign up and get your insurance through them. They have never given me issues, or lied to me, or forgot my deductable, or sent me false info. Allstate sounds like they are trying to screw you.

Since you said there was mold already growing, make sure your insurance company has a certified mold abatement company come out and do the work. If you want to save your house from becoming a sick house, I suggest you demand a certified company come out. Some contractors say they are certified and have no idea how to abate mold properly. Just be carefull and keep an eye on what those guys are doing. Ask a lot of questions. If they do not abate the mold properly, your house will become a sick house and you will get sick. These guys should be cutting out drywall and removing your cabinets, to get under and inside to abate the mold. Jesus, I wish you luck buddy. It looks like you had a bad flood. I just hope the contractor does a good job for your sake.

Thank you so much for the information and help, they already tore out the breakfast bar to replace it, I think they tore out the cabinets too, they tore out the drywall, I can't see any of it though because its blocked off while they remove asbestos from this old house.

Good! It sounds like they are doing the job properly. They put up the barriers to create a sealed chamber so the dehumidifiers can extract the humidity down to a certain percent. Once you drop the humidity down to a certain percent, mold will not grow due to the lack of moisture in the air. Mold feeds off moisture and light. If you deny mold the food it needs to grow, the spores do not spread. Also, you might want to ask if they plan on cleaning the duct work, if you have a central heat/air system. Mold spores can fly through the air, get sucked up into the duct work and attach to the inside of your flex duct. When that happens, mold will grow and make you sick.
 
From last night's no hitter extending our non winning seasons. Not the best shot, actually the first time I tried it out.
