Answers: you need to telephone call plumbers to get a couple of estimates. Then submit them to your ins. adjuster. You can call the adjuster and find out what the status is on your claim. Adjuster should distribute or hand deliver you the claim he worked up with the total price of what they will reimburse, for all damages. Should not take over a week and partially. Usually the check is made out to you, and your are responsible to pay the plumber. You need to check your policy to label sure mold is covered. They never allow much for carpet, walls, etc. Depending on when adjuster does his part, the check should appropriate about 2 weeks.
I don't have any insurance counsel but, for your own sake, you might check out the remarkable research on toxic mold removal done by environmental expert Dr Ed Close. Simply diffusing a therapeutic-grade essential oil regularly will likely result within an environment very hostel to mold.

In one instance, 10,667 stachybotrys mold spores were identified surrounded by a per cubic meter area. After diffusing Thieves essential oil for forty-eight hours, Dr Close retested. Only thirteen stachybotrys remained. Similarly, 75,000 stachybotrys mold spores be identified in a sample of sheetrock. After seventy-two hours of diffusing, no stachybotrys mold spores remained. (Stachybotrys have a reputation for being the most toxic mold.)
Diffuser and a couple bottles of oil - $200
Might prevent the problem from getting worse and relief you avoid full-blown remediation...especially if insurance is uncooperative.
