CERTIFIED MOLD DOG INSPECTIONS

A properly trained and certified detection dog is recognized in court as a "scientific instrument" (US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals)

Man's best friend is the latest weapon in the war on mold. We offer a professionally trained and certified Black Labrador Retriever who has the ability to sniff out toxic mold with 97% accuracy, behind ceramic tile, inside walls, and in areas not available to other inspection companies using conventional sampling methods. Traditional mold detection methods can be costly and drag on for weeks. Certified mold dogs detect and pinpoint exact areas of toxic mold, which leads to lower remediation costs for homeowners and insurers. (click on Mold Dog for more information)

LEVEL I   "Test Only"   Service

For basic comparative testing of the indoor air quality, or for sampling and laboratory analysis of specific mold suspected areas and / or conditions.

This service is recommended if you have specific areas that you would like tested for TOXIC MOLD.  It  may also be used for testing of pollens and other particles in the air.

LEVEL II    "Hot Spot"  Inspection

This is the report our clients typically use during a real estate transaction.

Includes a limited visual and physical examination of the "hot spots" in a home where moisture intrusion is most commonly found. This includes the indoor plumbing fixtures, water heater, HVAC, forced air unit, sinks, tubs, toilets and appliance hook ups, as well as any interior surface as requested by the client or those areas previously identified as a potential MOLD concern by a home or termite inspector. 

LEVEL III    "Full Inspection"

This is a complete visual, physical and K-9 "Mold Dog" examination of the interior and exterior surfaces of the residence. This comprehensive inspection is limited to those areas of a property that are physically and visually accessible to the inspector, so that actual and potential points of moisture intrusion, existing moisture damage and the detection of visible mold-like growth that may affect the indoor air quality in your home or building may be detected.
