Question 1

What is your service area? Do you travel to other regions?

Accepted Answer

We are located near the geographic center of coastal southern California. Our service area includes Southern and Central California. If you are farther north than Santa Barbara and in Central California we may be able to work with you if there are multiple people in your area needing service.

Question 2

What preparations should I make?

Accepted Answer

Please keep children and all pets away from the mold dog for the duration of the inspection. This is in order to minimize distractions and prioritize safety. Animals must be kept in another room while the mold inspection is being performed. Your pets can be moved later on in the inspection to make sure all rooms are fully searched. You can also turn off all air purifiers and close all windows prior to the inspection to be extra cautious with Misty's scent detection work, though she is very well trained to smell low levels of all types of mold.

Question 3

How long does an inspection take?

Accepted Answer

This is a case by case basis but your average normal sized single family home is likely in the neighborhood of 2-3 hours for an inspection but there are numerous variables with each home that can slightly reduce or increase this amount of time spent at your house. This depends on the size of your house and how many sources of mold the dog locates.  If your home is extremely large then the time of inspection will be longer. If you have a larger than average home you can contact me for an estimate on the amount of time we would need to perform the inspection. The inspection time frame includes discussion regarding findings as well. Since people have a variable number of questions that can also cause the inspection to be shorter or longer.

Question 4

The inspection also includes up to 2 vehicles per residence, checking if furnishings are mold source, as well as a search of the garage if accessible.
