Why Use a Mold Detection Dog?

A professionally trained mold detection dog is one of the most precise, economical, and non-invasive ways to locate hidden mold in your home. Dogs can detect mold odor at concentrations as low as one part per trillion, allowing them to identify growth hidden behind walls, cabinetry, and beneath flooring.

 

At The Mold Scout, each K9 inspection is led by a Certified Microbial Assessor and supported by advanced tools including thermal imaging, moisture meters, and laboratory testing—providing a clear, comprehensive picture of what’s happening inside your home.

Our 
Story

Founded by a certified microbial inspector with firsthand experience navigating mold-related health concerns.

My name is Adam, and I am a certified microbial inspector (NORMI) with formal training in building science and mold remediation protocols—providing clinical oversight alongside every K9 inspection.

 

I also have a personal mold story. Mold affected my own home and my family’s health. While every situation is different, I understand the stress of questioning whether your home may be making you sick, along with the financial uncertainty that often follows.

With the right information and a clear plan, mold is a solvable problem. I’m here to help you understand what’s happening in your home and move forward with confidence.

Client Testimonials

“The Mold Scout's mold detection services were exceptional. Our young children had rashes and respiratory issues. Kirby discovered hidden mold in a bedroom wall adjoining a bathroom. Poor things were sleeping in it. I'm so glad it's behind us.

I hired the Mold Scout upon my wife's urging. I was little skeptical, I'm kind of traditional and this seemed a little out there. They located mold where we had missed it before, saving us time and money. Very professional outfit.

Joe B.

We had gone through a previous remediation, and mold came back or wasn't fully detected. Kirby is extremely accurate, he found mold were we least expected it. Finally done with this. What a relief!
