Our Services
Residential Mold Inspections
If something feels off in your home, you're probably not imagining it. Our residential home mold inspection uses Loki, a certified mold detection dog, to help pinpoint hidden mold at the source—quickly and non-invasively. This saves homeowners time, guesswork, and unnecessary mold remediation costs while providing clarity without tearing your home apart.
Most residential mold inspections take about 1.5–2 hours, depending on the size of your space and the complexity of the environment. As we work through your home, we identify areas of concern in real time and discuss what Loki is indicating, along with clear recommendations for next steps.
Loki is trained to detect hidden mold in both common and hard-to-reach areas, including behind walls, under flooring, inside HVAC systems, ceilings, cabinets, furniture, clothing, and more. If mold is present, he’s trained to locate the source—even when it’s well concealed.
Along the way, we also help assess the severity of the situation so you're not left guessing what to do next. Our goal is to support better indoor air quality and give you a clear path forward, whether that involves further evaluation or working with mold remediation professionals.
Commercial Mold Inspections
Your business runs on people—your team and your customers. When hidden mold or mycotoxins are present behind the scenes, they can quietly impact indoor air quality, employee health, energy levels, attendance, and overall performance. Left unchecked, these issues can also become costly problems no business wants to deal with.
A healthy workspace does more than look good—it helps people feel good and perform at their best. Our commercial mold inspection services use a certified mold detection dog to help identify hidden mold in offices, retail spaces, warehouses, hospitality environments, and other commercial buildings. This supports employee well-being, protects your reputation, and demonstrates a commitment to safety and professionalism.
For businesses and property managers, inspections can help confirm a space is in good condition or identify hidden issues before they develop into larger remediation needs. Because mold is not always visible, a mold detection dog can often detect early signs that traditional inspections may miss.
If you're considering moving into a new building or expanding to a new location, a pre-lease commercial mold inspection can help you avoid inheriting hidden moisture or mold problems before signing a lease.
Our goal is simple: to provide clarity, reduce risk, and help you make confident decisions about your commercial space.
Real Estate Inspections
Whether you're building, buying, or preparing to sell, unseen issues can change everything. Our real estate mold inspection uses a certified mold detection dog to help identify hidden mold that may not be visible during a traditional home inspection, providing added confidence for buyers, sellers, builders, and real estate professionals.
Loki, our trained mold detection dog, can move through a property and detect the scent of hidden mold in areas often missed by standard inspections—behind walls, under flooring, inside HVAC systems, ceilings, and other concealed spaces. This makes canine inspection a valuable complement to pre-purchase home inspections and real estate evaluations.
For homebuyers, a real estate mold inspection can help uncover potential indoor air quality concerns before closing, reducing the risk of unexpected remediation costs. For sellers, it can provide clarity before listing. For real estate professionals, it adds an extra layer of transparency during transactions.
Because mold issues are not always visible, a mold detection dog can often identify early signs of hidden mold that traditional methods may miss. When needed, we can also help connect clients with qualified mold remediation professionals for next steps.
Our goal is simple: to provide clarity, reduce uncertainty, and help you move forward with confidence.
How does the process work?
When Loki comes to your home, the visit happens in three simple steps:
01
Getting to know your home
We begin every home mold inspection with a visual walkthrough of both the interior and exterior of your home to understand the layout and identify any potential areas of concern. During this step, we also gather any known history of the property—such as past water damage, leaks, or previous mold issues—to help pinpoint possible sources of hidden mold.
This foundational step is led by Craig and Angela, both certified mold inspectors with a strong attention to detail and extensive experience in identifying conditions that may contribute to mold growth.
02
Loki gets to work
After the initial walkthrough, Loki begins the main phase of the home mold inspection. As a certified mold detection dog, he carefully searches the entire home to locate hidden mold that may not be visible during a traditional inspection.
As Loki works, we clearly mark any areas where he indicates the presence of mold and communicate findings in real time, so you always understand what’s being identified and where potential problem areas may be located.
03
Review and next steps
Once the home mold inspection is complete, we review Loki’s findings with you in detail. We’ll explain where hidden mold was identified and what those indications may mean for your home and indoor air quality.
From there, we walk through clear next steps based on your situation. This may include guidance on further evaluation, moisture correction, or connecting with trusted mold remediation professionals if removal is needed.
We welcome you to observe the entire home mold inspection process from start to finish so you can see exactly how Loki, our certified mold detection dog, works to identify hidden mold throughout your home.
For the most accurate results, we ask that Loki and his handler are given space to work with minimal distractions. Please ensure clear pathways are available to all walls, windows, and accessible areas before the inspection begins.
We also ask that all pets are secured away during the inspection. While Loki is friendly with other animals, they can be a distraction during the detection process. Similarly, although Loki loves children, we recommend any meet-and-greet take place after the inspection is complete so he can remain fully focused during the search.
This helps ensure the most effective and reliable results when identifying potential hidden mold in your home.
