Scoping Mold

One thing you learn when working at SERVPRO is the ability to adapt to any situation that is thrown at you and one of the things SERVPRO gets called for very often is to identify mold or go on mold scopes and determine the condition of the structure being scoped. When one of the Certified Mold Inspectors comes in to scope a house for mold they are very prepared for what is to come. The team goes through continues training to stay up to date on all new protocols and procedures. One of the main things that the team does is they go in and try to identify exposed mold , when the source is found the team works outwards from the source. If no mold is visible the team can then execute a air-o-cell mold test . The machine draws 150 (L) of air into an air-o-cell then gets sent to the lab for further investigation.
