Mold Inspection of Your Harrisonburg Home with SERVPRO 

Not all mold damage is visible. Professional mold inspection of your Harrisonburg home can uncover hidden contamination before the situation gets out of hand. So, if you think you might have a mold problem in your home, it is vital to seek help when there is still time. 

SERVPRO techs stick to the IICRC S520 guidelines during the mold inspection of your Harrisonburg home. Our trained restorers use several tools and techniques to identify problem areas where mold spores can germinate and thrive. We work closely with Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) professionals and Indoor Environmental Professionals (IEPs) to offer the safest and most efficient restoration experience if mold testing is required for a specific abatement service.

How do Mold Specialists look for Contamination? 

Mold inspection involves mainly a visual assessment of your Harrisburg home by SERVPRO experts to detect any visible growth or to identify any potential problem areas. Techs look out for two things while inspecting your property for mold damage-

• Excess moisture
• Signs of visible growth hidden in structural cavities of your property

Moisture meters, infrared cameras, and thermo-hygrometers can detect the moisture level in specific areas of your home. As moisture is one of the key factors required for mold growth, identifying such areas can help catch the problem early.  

Structural cavities such as telecommunication chases can be quite costly to repair if dismantled for inspection. Hence, SERVPRO techs use special cameras called Borescopes to look for signs of fungal growth inside the ductwork during a mold inspection. The cameras we use can record still images and videos to better understand the scope and extent of the problem.
