What Exactly Does a
Mold Dog Detect?

A mold detection dog is trained to identify active and hidden mold growth by detecting mold VOCs. This allows mold sources to be located even when there is no visible mold or elevated moisture at the time of inspection — such as with intermittent leaks, past water damage, or mold concealed behind walls, floors, windows, or cabinetry. Unlike traditional tools that rely on current moisture conditions, a mold dog can help identify mold related to both ongoing and past water intrusion, including sources that may still be contributing to exposure.

What Makes Our Inspection Different

When Smokey comes to your home, you’re not just getting a quick walkthrough — you’re getting a full, detailed environmental investigation designed to find the hidden mold that tools and inspectors miss.

Not all mold inspections are the same. Our approach goes beyond simply detecting mold — we focus on helping you understand what’s happening in your home and what to do next.

Certified Mold Detection Dog
Our trained detection dog Smokey performs a full sweep of the home to locate hidden mold sources behind walls, under flooring, and in other concealed areas that traditional inspections often miss.

InterNACHI-Certified Mold Inspector
Our inspector is trained in professional mold inspection practices and evaluates the home for conditions that may contribute to mold growth.

General Contractor & Building Science Experience
Our team brings general contractor experience and building science knowledge to every investigation. Mold rarely appears without a reason — it typically develops when moisture enters a building and becomes trapped inside materials. As part of our inspection, we evaluate the home for potential moisture intrusion and building conditions that may be contributing to mold growth, such as failing windows or flashing, roof or plumbing leaks, ventilation issues, construction defects, or moisture trapped behind walls and flooring.

Mold Tests Through a Certified Lab

We collect swabs from concerning areas to confirm mold presence and identify species. We also offer the ERMI - a lab-based dust test that analyzes 36 mold species to measure the total toxic mold burden of your home, giving you a clear baseline to understand exposure and guide remediation decisions.

Clear Explanation of Mold Types & Health Relevance

We break down what the lab results actually mean — including whether they indicate water damage, toxigenic species, or chronic exposure risks.

Support Beyond the Inspection
If remediation is needed, we connect you with trusted professionals and guide you through next steps, including interpreting results and answering any follow-up questions.

Hidden mold that can grow behind drywall, under sinks, and around windows.

“Our ERMI test showed high levels of toxic mold. We could not find it. It was recommended we get a mold dog to pinpoint the location. We found it under our bathtub. We saved thousands of dollars using Smokey!”

Hidden Mold Investigation
Building Science
Environmental Interpretation

Most mold inspections rely on visual checks, moisture meters, or air samples — but hidden mold often grows where these methods can’t detect it, such as inside walls, under flooring, behind cabinets, or inside HVAC systems.

 

Our approach goes beyond basic mold testing. We combine building science observations, a certified mold detection dog search, and environmental testing when needed to help uncover hidden mold sources and provide a clearer understanding of what may be happening in the home.

 

Our goal is not just to detect mold, but to help identify where it may be coming from and what steps to take next.
