More Than a Canine Search

A mold concern does not always have an obvious source. Musty odors, previous water damage, visible staining, recurring symptoms, or an unsuccessful remediation can leave property owners with questions about where a problem may exist.

Mold Dogs combines professional inspection practices with the specialized capabilities of trained mold detection dogs. The canine component can help identify areas that deserve closer attention, while the inspector evaluates the property and determines the appropriate next steps.

Depending on the property and inspection objectives, services may include visual evaluation, moisture investigation, targeted canine detection, indoor air quality assessment, air sampling/testing, and documented findings.

01 / COMPREHENSIVE INSPECTION

Professional Mold Inspection

Our mold inspections are designed to investigate the property as a whole rather than focusing only on a visible spot. The inspector evaluates accessible areas and considers moisture conditions, visible concerns, odors, property history, and other information relevant to the investigation.

  • Property-focused visual inspection
  • Evaluation of accessible areas of concern
  • Moisture-related observations
  • Investigation of suspected mold conditions
  • Canine detection when appropriate
  • Documented findings and recommended next steps

02 / SPECIALIZED DETECTION

Canine-Assisted Mold Detection

Trained mold detection dogs can help locate areas that may not be immediately apparent during a conventional visual inspection. During an appropriate inspection, the handler documents canine alerts so those areas can be considered for further investigation.

  • Non-invasive canine screening of agreed accessible areas
  • Identification of areas warranting closer evaluation
  • Documented alerts and priority areas
  • Integration with the inspector's investigation
  • Useful for suspected hidden-source conditions

03 / HIDDEN SOURCES

Hidden-Source Mold Investigation

When the source of an odor, previous leak, or recurring concern is unclear, a targeted investigation can help narrow the areas that deserve further attention.

  • Investigation of suspected hidden areas
  • Canine screening of agreed accessible areas
  • Priority-area identification
  • Consideration of moisture and property history
  • Clear explanation of findings and limitations
  • Written documentation of inspection findings

04 / AIR QUALITY

Indoor Air Quality & Mold Testing

When air-quality information is appropriate to the investigation, Mold Dogs can incorporate indoor air quality assessment and sampling/testing into the inspection process. Testing can provide additional information to consider alongside the physical inspection and other findings.

  • Indoor air quality evaluation
  • Air sampling/testing when appropriate
  • Integration with property inspection findings
  • Documentation of testing performed
  • Plain-language explanation of available results

05 / AFTER REMEDIATION

Post-Remediation Mold Inspection

If remediation work has already been completed, a follow-up inspection can help evaluate the previously affected areas and document current observations. The scope depends on the property, prior work, and agreed inspection objectives.

  • Review of previously affected areas
  • Targeted canine screening when appropriate
  • Visual and moisture-related observations
  • Air quality testing when appropriate
  • Documentation of findings and limitations

06 / REAL ESTATE

Real Estate Mold Inspection

Mold concerns can create uncertainty during a purchase, sale, or property transaction. Our inspections can be structured around the property's condition and the decision timeline, providing documented findings that help buyers, sellers, and professionals understand areas requiring attention.

  • Property-focused mold investigation
  • Canine detection when appropriate
  • Assessment of visible and suspected concerns
  • Air quality testing when appropriate
  • Written findings for the agreed inspection scope

07 / WATER DAMAGE

Mold Investigation After Water Damage

Water intrusion can create conditions where mold may develop or remain hidden after a leak, flood, plumbing failure, or other moisture event. An investigation can help identify areas that warrant additional attention.

  • Review of water-damage history
  • Evaluation of accessible affected areas
  • Moisture-related observations
  • Canine screening when appropriate
  • Indoor air quality testing when appropriate
  • Documented inspection findings

08 / COMMERCIAL

Commercial Mold Inspection

Commercial properties can require a structured investigation across multiple rooms, work areas, tenant spaces, or building systems. The inspection scope is developed around the property and the concerns being investigated.

  • Commercial property mold investigation
  • Large-area or multi-zone inspection planning
  • Canine detection when appropriate
  • Air quality testing when appropriate
  • Clear documentation of identified concerns
  • Coordination around agreed inspection objectives

Canine Detection Is One Part of a Bigger Inspection Process.

Our approach is designed to combine professional inspection practices with specialized canine detection and, when appropriate, indoor air quality testing. Each service is scoped according to the property and the reason for the investigation.

Inspect Evaluate accessible areas and relevant property conditions.
Detect Use trained canine detection when it can add investigative value.
Test Use air-quality or other testing when appropriate to the scope.
Document Provide clear findings and explain what they mean.

From Concern to Documented Findings

Every property is different. The inspection process is scoped around the concern, property conditions, accessible areas, and the services appropriate for the investigation.

Step 01

Discuss

We learn about the property, concerns, history, and reason for the inspection.

Step 02

Inspect

The inspector evaluates the agreed accessible areas and relevant property conditions.

Step 03

Investigate

Canine detection and testing may be incorporated when appropriate to the inspection objectives.

Step 04

Document

Findings, observations, and appropriate next steps are explained and documented according to the agreed scope.

Clear Information You Can Act On

A mold inspection should leave you with more than uncertainty. Our goal is to clearly document what was investigated, what was observed, and what the findings mean within the agreed scope.

Inspection Scope What areas and services were included in the investigation.
Findings Documented observations relevant to the inspection.
Canine Alerts When canine detection is used, relevant priority areas can be documented.
Testing Air-quality or other testing information when included in the agreed scope.
Next Steps Plain-language explanation of what the findings may warrant next.

A Different Way to Investigate Mold Concerns

We combine professional inspection with a specialized canine capability to help investigate properties where the source of a concern may not be immediately obvious.

Professional Inspection

The inspection is performed as a property-focused investigation, not simply a canine screening.

Specialized Detection

Trained dogs can help identify areas that may deserve additional investigation when hidden conditions are suspected.

Documented Results

Findings are explained clearly so property owners and professionals can understand what was investigated and what comes next.
