The Mold Dogs Organization

We know what unanswered property concerns feel like.

Mold Dogs began after our founder faced an indoor-environment concern that ordinary investigation didn't clearly locate. The hardest part was living between suspicion and proof, not knowing where the problem was, which information to trust, or what to do next.

People don't need more fear. They need a clearer way to investigate.

Mold and Health Context
Health Context & Guidance

Mold and health: attention without panic.

Health effects vary. The building can be investigated without turning uncertainty into a diagnosis.

What CDC says

Damp and moldy environments may affect some people and cause no effects in others.

Possible nasal or throat irritation, coughing or wheezing; possible eye or skin irritation.

People with asthma, mold allergies, immune suppression, or chronic lung disease may face greater risk.

What this does not establish

A property inspection cannot diagnose an illness or prove what caused a symptom.

It does not replace medical evaluation.

A canine alert does not measure health risk, and cannot predict symptom improvement.

Symptoms or immediate health concerns? Speak with a qualified healthcare professional. Sources: CDC Mold, Possible Health Effects; CDC/NIOSH Health Problems.

The Practical Cost of Continued Guessing
Understand • The Cost of Guessing

The practical cost of continued guessing.

A focused investigation helps break the cycle of broad testing, random openings, and repeated repairs.

1 • Guess

Where do we even start?

2 • Broad Testing

More data, little direction.

3 • Open Areas

Intrusive work, no priority.

4 • Focused Investigation

Prioritize, document, confirm.

The right answer may involve more than one tool.

Start with what is known. The best next step changes when water is active, damage is visible, or the source is still hidden. Not every visitor needs our service: if another path fits better, we will say so.

Other path may come first

Active water: stop the source

Call the appropriate plumber, roofer, restoration, or water-mitigation professional. Do not wait for a dog inspection.

Other path may come first

Visible and documented: assess or remediate

When the affected material and moisture source are already clear, qualified assessment or remediation may come first.

Other path may come first

Species and concentration: use sampling

Laboratory methods may be useful when the decision specifically requires species or concentration information.

Other path may come first

Health concerns: seek medical guidance

A building investigation is not a medical evaluation. Discuss symptoms with a qualified healthcare professional.

Not sure which fits?

Answer four quick questions and we will point you to the most likely path, ours or someone else's.

Schedule an Inspection

Acting today does not mean purchasing today.

It means taking the next sensible step before more time, moisture, or money is lost.

If water is active

Stop the water source and begin appropriate drying promptly. EPA guidance emphasizes moisture control and drying wet materials as soon as possible, ideally within 24 to 48 hours. A canine search may not be the first step.

If this is not an emergency

  • Document what you notice
  • Gather prior reports and leak history
  • Ask which investigation fits
  • Understand scope and price before deciding

Envision • Picture What Lies Ahead

Picture a home you understand.

Mold Dogs contributes investigative information. Moisture correction, confirmation, or remediation may require other qualified professionals.

Without a clear starting point
  • Uncertainty lingers after initial attempts to fix odors or moisture
  • The same areas may be repaired repeatedly without addressing the root cause
  • You remain unsure what has actually been inspected or corrected

"The whole property feels like one question mark."

With structured canine investigation
  • Accessible perimeters and hidden cavities are prioritized non-invasively
  • Affected materials have been identified and properly targeted for assessment
  • Findings and work are documented, with a practical monitoring plan

"We know what was addressed, what remains uncertain, and what we will watch."

We do not treat the dog as a gimmick. We treat canine detection as one part of a real investigative process.

About Us

More than three decades of experience working with dogs, and a specialized approach to mold detection.

Mold Dogs was founded by Lambros Avgerinos, a Master Dog Trainer with more than 150,000 hours of hands-on experience working with dogs. That depth of working-dog experience is the foundation behind our approach to canine mold detection and inspection.

Canine Odor Detection

We specialize in using highly trained mold detection dogs to help locate hidden or suspected mold contamination in homes, buildings, and other environments. Our dogs are trained to identify odor signatures associated with mold growth, helping investigate areas difficult to evaluate through visual inspection alone.

Investigative Protocol

Effective detection requires a trained handler, a defined inspection protocol, careful documentation, and an understanding of how buildings, moisture, airflow, and construction conditions affect where mold may be found. Canine detection works alongside systematic investigation.

Our goal is to provide clients with clear, actionable information, not simply an indication that mold may be present. Whether you are a homeowner dealing with a suspected hidden mold problem, a property professional investigating a building, an inspector looking for additional investigative support, or someone trying to determine the next step after water damage or an incomplete remediation, our team helps turn uncertainty into a documented direction for further investigation.

With more than three decades around working dogs, Mold Dogs brings together canine expertise, practical field experience, structured protocols, and professional documentation to provide a specialized approach to mold detection.

Worried About Hidden Mold?

Don't let uncertainty affect your family's health or your property's value. Our certified canine teams provide fast, accurate, and non-damaging inspections to give you the answers and peace of mind you deserve.
