Urgent Q - Mold/Water Leak / Contractor Mistake HELP :(

[Bobby Shell]

In August of 2019 we got a new fridge dropped off by Best Buy. Best Buy took away our old fridge. 

Our property manager had a handy man install the new fridge.

Fast forward to today, I get a call from the Property Manager saying that the new tenant reported water leaking behind the fridge, after a deeper look baseboards are curling up, mold is under the baseboards, and they need to remediate mold and likely replace the floors!

IS this something home owners insurance would cover? Or is my property manager in trouble for having a bad installation and handy man? Let me know if you need more details! :( Thank you!!

@Bobby Shell

doesn’t sound like something you’d want to put a claim into insurance for. Get someone in there to assess the damage and give you an estimate on fixing it. It might not be as big of a deal as you think - everything is fixable!
