How does SERVPRO check for mold?

1/10/2022 (Permalink)

SERVPRO of Carbon County and Pocono Pines checks for mold different ways. Whether it is in your home or business. 

The three different ways are: 

• Visual Inspection: One of our Professionals can sometimes perform a visual inspection. We have specialized tools to help identify the source, such as a moisture meter or thermal imaging camera. 
• If a visual inspection cannot be performed to confirm if mold is in the home or business, we can perform a Swab Test. This form of testing will be sent to a lab to analysis. 
• Another way to test for mold is Air Sampling. This form of testing is also sent to a lab and reveal the extent of damage. 

Tests sent to the lab takes about 72 hours to process. Once we have the results, we can remediate the mold immediately.
