A mold inspection typically includes a visual assessment of accessible areas, moisture readings on suspect materials, and identification of conditions that may contribute to mold growth. Testing may be recommended depending on findings and client needs.

Not always. Mold testing is not automatically required in every situation. If visible mold is present or additional confirmation is needed, testing may be recommended and discussed during the inspection.

Laboratory analysis identifies a wide range of common indoor and outdoor mold types. Results are provided with interpretation to help explain what was found and how it compares to typical background levels.

In addition to mold-related evaluations, we offer environmental and indoor air quality testing as an optional add-on. This testing provides a broader evaluation of airborne conditions when additional information is needed beyond a standard inspection or basic testing.

While mold inside wall cavities cannot always be seen, moisture readings, visual indicators, and targeted sampling can help assess the likelihood of hidden mold in certain areas.

Most residential inspections take between 60–90 minutes, depending on the size of the property, accessibility, and whether sampling is performed.

Inspections can be scheduled by contacting us directly or by submitting a request through our website. We’ll review your concerns and help determine the appropriate inspection level.

A K9 mold inspection uses a specially trained detection dog to locate the scent of mold that may be hidden behind walls and under flooring.

During the inspection, the dog systematically searches the property alongside a trained handler. When the dog detects the odor of mold, it gives a trained alert (such as sitting or laying down) to indicate a specific area of concern.

Mold dogs are incredibly accurate, however K9 inspections are a screening tool, not a standalone confirmation.

For that reason, any alert from the dog is typically followed up with additional verification methods, such as moisture readings, thermal imaging, or laboratory testing, to confirm the presence of mold.

Kato is trained to detect the odor produced by mold growth, rather than targeting just one specific type. This allows him to locate a wide range of common indoor molds, especially those associated with moisture and water damage.
