I had long suspected that mold was contributing to my health issues, but after several failed attempts to get to the bottom of it, I was beginning to lose hope. A friend recommended the Mold Dog Company, and although I was skeptical, I decided to give it a try — I was out of options. Corinna and Catalina came to my home, and to my amazement, Catalina, with her impressive K9 mold detection skills, was able to pinpoint what no one else could. Their professionalism, expertise, and unique approach completely changed my perspective. I went from being a skeptic to a raving fan of Molly the Mold Dog's abilities. I can’t recommend the Mold Dog Company enough — they truly made a difference in my health and peace of mind!

We had a wonderful experience with Corinna and Catalina from Mold Dog Company coming into our home to help us discover toxic molds that we suspected after a water leak incident in our upstairs bathroom. After a flood remediation contractor addressed the initial issue, we had concerns that they did a rush job and didn't thoroughly examine all the affected areas for water damage. Although we had hired a couple of mold detection companies to perform ERMI testing, and the tests returned negative, we were still not convinced that our home was mold-free. That's when we decided to enlist the expertise of Mold Dog Company, known for their k9 mold detection services. We are so glad we did, as they confirmed our suspicions about a few problematic areas and even uncovered some hidden issues we had no idea about. We were impressed with their professionalism, accuracy, and timeliness in addressing our concerns. For anyone looking for answers to possible mold contamination, we highly recommend Mold Dog Company and their amazing team who truly knows how to identify mold issues.

The people at Mold Dog Company are truly amazing as is the whole concept of the company. They care greatly about helping each customer Identify the source of what might be polluting the air in their home or business. My company does mitigation of mold damage, and identifying the exact location can often be very difficult. Sometimes that requires exploratory demo of the property to locate the problem which is very expensive and time consuming. Mold Dog Company is able to use a highly trained dog to sniff out and pinpoint the source of the trouble. I have seen this myself and it is very impressive to see the dog land on the spot and point. They have great accuracy too. Definitely worth checking with them for your project

We have been dealing with an ongoing mold problem due to upstairs tub leaks. Yuck. Corinna and Catalina have been fantastic to work with and have helped us pinpoint the mold problem and reveal the source. Corinna is very knowledgeable about mold-related issues and the science behind its impacts on humans. She was also very supportive of our needs and patiently listened to our concerns and answered all the many, many questions we had! She also was realistic about our needs related to an ongoing bathroom remodel - saving us thousands of dollars by avoiding an unnecessary demolition. Catalina (aka "the Superdog"!) was likewise fantastic and immediately flagged a mold issue that was hidden in a ceiling and behind a wall. We would not have pinpointed the problem otherwise. We appreciated working with Mold Dog Company and the stellar service and great communications that they provided. I highly recommend them, if you have or suspect you have, a mold-related issue.
General Mold Information
What Is Mold?
How Does Mold Affect Humans?
How Does Mold Grow?
Molds are organisms that exist both indoors and outdoors, playing a crucial role in our natural environment by breaking down and digesting organic material. Also known as fungi or mildew, molds belong to the fungi kingdom, distinguishing them from plants and animals. With millions of species, these organisms contribute significantly to our planet by aiding in the regeneration of forests after wildfires or even decomposing disposable diapers through their industrious spores. However, when mold occurs indoors, it can lead to various issues for residents. This is where k9 mold detection comes into play, as a trained dog knows how to identify mold effectively, helping homeowners address potential problems before they escalate.

How Does Mold Grow?
Mold frequently grows in hidden places – behind wall linings, in floors, or behind installations – and is often not visible from the outside. When moisture builds up from leaky pipes or roofs, high humidity, or flooding, conditions become ideal for mold growth. Using k9 mold detection can help identify these hidden hazards, as a mold dog knows where to sniff out trouble. Molds are easily disturbed, and their spores can become airborne, getting into noses, mouths, and lungs.

How Can I Prevent Mold Growth?
Inhalation of mold indoors can cause health effects in some individuals by producing allergens, irritants, and potentially toxic substances known as mycotoxins, which are byproducts of mold. For those who are allergic, molds can lead to a variety of health issues. Utilizing k9 mold detection is an effective way to identify mold in your environment, as a mold dog knows how to sniff out these harmful spores.

Moisture control is essential for mold control, so when water leaks or spills occur indoors – ACT QUICKLY. If wet or damp materials or areas are dried within 24-48 hours after a leak or spill, in most cases mold will not grow. Utilizing k9 mold detection can help identify hidden mold issues before they become a problem. Remember, a mold dog knows how to sniff out moisture and mold, so consider involving trained professionals like Catalina the mold dog for thorough inspections. Prevent condensation: Reduce the potential for condensation on cold surfaces (i.e., windows, piping, exterior walls, roof, or floors) by adding insulation.
Suspicion Of Hidden Mold?

How Should I Test For Mold?
You may suspect hidden mold if the air smells moldy but you cannot see the source, or if you know there has been water damage. In such cases, using a K9 mold detection team can be very effective, as a mold dog knows exactly where to find hidden mold. Mold may be concealed in areas such as the back side of drywall, wallpaper or paneling, the top side of ceiling tiles, and the underside of carpets and pads. Other possible locations of hidden mold include areas inside walls around leaking or condensing pipes, the surfaces of walls behind furniture where condensation forms, inside ductwork, and in roof materials above ceiling tiles due to roof leaks or insufficient insulation.

Sampling for mold should be conducted by professionals who have specific experience in designing mold sampling protocols, sampling methods, and interpreting results. While there are tests for surface samples and air samples, only K9 mold detection methods, like those used by Catalina the Mold Dog, can pinpoint the hidden problem areas that are not visible.
