No, we will not need to cut into walls, drill holes or modify your home. This is a non-invasive detection service that pinpoints the location of any sources of mold (active or inactive).

Additional testing is not required. A K9 Mold Inspection is sufficient for determining the location of mold for remediation purposes.

While having an inspection and mold remediation completed by the same company may seem convenient, this practice creates a conflict of interest. This practice is actually illegal in some states.

Pearl was trained by Master Canine Trainer, Bill Whitstine, at the Florida Canine Academy. Bill Whitstine, a leader in canine training since 1989, has been training mold detection dogs for over 30 years.

Pearl’s mold detection training consisted of 1,000 training hours. She was trained to detect 16 types of mold. These types of mold include thousands of sub-species of mold.

In addition to her initial training, Pearl receives daily training and completes recertification with her mold detection trainer every quarter.

Pearl is able to locate mold in some of the hardest to reach locations. She can detect mold hidden inside walls, underneath tile and other types of flooring, in air ducts, HVAC systems, in ceilings and many other locations.

Yes, Pearl can detect non-viable (“dead” or “dried out”) mold.

Mold that is often referred to as “dead” is considered non-viable. This means the mold in a hibernating state. Despite this hibernating state, it can still present a health risk.

Since non-viable mold does not have an active water source, it is often missed with other types of inspections (including infrared testing). Since visual and infrared inspections rely heavily on moisture being present, non-viable mold is often missed and excluded from remediation efforts. This can result in continued health issues for those living in the property.
