Meet Kato. Follow the evidence.
A trained canine search can help identify areas that deserve closer inspection, especially when the suspected source is not obvious.
Request an InspectionA powerful screening tool inside a professional inspection.
Kato works alongside TEC’s visual and moisture assessment. He searches accessible areas for odor sources associated with mold and communicates a trained change of behavior to his handler.
An alert is a reason to investigate further. It is not a diagnosis, laboratory result or substitute for the rest of the inspection.
Efficient screening
Kato can move methodically through accessible areas and help prioritize locations for closer visual, moisture or sampling follow-up.
Handler interpreted
Each alert is evaluated in context by TEC. Building conditions, airflow, access and competing odors all matter.
Evidence confirmed
When confirmation is warranted, TEC may recommend opening an area through the appropriate party or collecting a targeted sample for laboratory analysis.
A focused, evidence-led process.
Prepare the space
We explain simple preparation steps intended to reduce distractions and support a controlled search.
Inspect and search
TEC completes the inspection while Kato works selected areas as an integrated add-on—not as a standalone service.
Investigate alerts
Alert locations are documented and evaluated with other evidence to determine whether additional investigation is appropriate.
Detection is not confirmation.
Kato does not identify mold species, measure airborne concentrations or determine whether an area is safe. His work helps direct professional attention.
False positives and missed odor sources are possible in real buildings. TEC treats every alert as one piece of evidence and communicates limitations clearly.
