General Questions
01
What is a mold detection dog?
A mold detection dog is trained to identify the scent of mold, even when it’s hidden behind walls, under flooring, or in areas that are not visible.
02
How accurate is mold detection with a dog?
Trained detection dogs are highly accurate when properly handled. They are able to detect mold at its source, which helps avoid unnecessary guesswork or broad testing.
03
Is this better than traditional mold testing?
It’s different. Traditional testing often involves sampling specific areas, while a detection dog can scan the entire space and pinpoint where mold is most likely present. In many cases, this leads to faster and more targeted results.
