A fast way to narrow a difficult search
Mold can be concealed behind finishes, beneath flooring, inside wall cavities or among furnishings. A trained dog searches for conditioned mold-related odor and provides a trained indication that helps the inspection team focus its next steps.
This mobile, minimally disruptive approach can be especially useful across large or complex properties where opening every surface is impractical.
Where canine screening helps
Focused support across the property lifecycle
Persistent Odor
Search rooms and building areas when an odor is present but its source is unclear.
Large Properties
Move efficiently through hotels, schools, housing and commercial spaces with a defined plan.
Hidden Areas
Help identify locations that may warrant moisture measurement, visual investigation or sampling.
Remediation Planning
Provide additional location information before qualified professionals determine the proper scope.
Follow-Up Screening
Support a post-work review while keeping clearance decisions with qualified inspectors and testing professionals.
A disciplined process
Canine screening informs the next inspection step
01
Scope
Review the building history, concerns, access and search priorities.
02
Prepare
Establish conditions that support a controlled, efficient canine search.
03
Search
The handler records trained indications and relevant search observations.
04
Investigate
A qualified professional determines appropriate moisture checks, sampling or next action.
Important limitation: a canine indication is a screening result, not a laboratory identification, health diagnosis, moisture assessment, clearance test or remediation certification. Mold concerns should be evaluated by appropriately qualified inspection, sampling and remediation professionals.
