Minnesota mold detection k-9
What does a K-9 mold detecting dog do?
A professionally trained mold detection dog has a sense of smell up to 100,000 times stronger than a human's, allowing it to identify hidden mold that may not be visible or easily accessible. They are able to search tiny areas such as a vehicle to incredibly large areas such as casinos or retail stores. Our dog is professionally trained, completes quarterly refresher training, and practices daily at home to maintain peak performance.
Mold detection dogs are considered approximately 95% accurate when properly trained and handled. In addition, using a detection dog provides same-day results, helping you quickly pinpoint problem areas and move forward with confidence-without invasive testing or unnecessary demolition.
Where can a K-9 detecting dog be used?
A mold detection dog can be utilized in an impressive range of environments, from single-family homes and apartments to schools, offices, healthcare facilities, warehouses, and multi-unit complexes. They are especially valuable in areas that are difficult or risky to access — such as attics, crawlspaces, basements, behind walls, and around HVAC systems.
Detection dogs can also be used during real-estate transactions, post-remediation verification, and preventive inspections to ensure a property is safe and healthy. Whether the concern is a small leak or a large building with recurring moisture issues, a trained mold detection dog can efficiently target the source and help guide the next steps.
