We’ve Got Answers—Sniff Tested and Approved
We understand you might have questions about how a canine inspector works. Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions.
Our certified mold dog uses its incredibly powerful sense of smell to detect the unique odors (VOCs) released by mold, even when it's hidden behind walls or under floors.
Absolutely. Our mold dog is well-behaved, friendly, and trained to work calmly and professionally in various environments, ensuring safety and minimal disruption.
Yes, this is one of their greatest strengths. The dog's nose can detect mold odors coming from behind barriers and in hard-to-reach areas, which is invaluable for hidden mold.
No, it's a powerful enhancement. Our mold dog efficiently locates potential mold sources, and then our human inspector follows up with visual assessment and, if necessary, scientific testing for confirmation.
When our dog gives a positive alert, our human inspector then focuses on that specific area for further investigation, which may include moisture readings or taking samples for lab analysis.
