How a mold dog inspection works

Mold releases microscopic odor compounds that trained mold detection dogs—like our Hee-do—can detect at the source.

We pair our dog’s powerful sense of smell with a thorough interior and exterior visual inspection to help you understand what’s going on in your space.
