According to the EPA, “use of mold detection dogs could significantly reduce sampling costs required to unequivocally identify the culprit in indoor air contamination.”

We’re trying to sell our house right now, and we’re in the process of buying a new house. One of the things that is a little concern to me is mold … especially in the basements. Here in KC it will be dry for a long time, and then rain for a long time, and then be dry, then rain, and on and on.
I never know what’s behind the walls in some of these basements. Has there been water in the house? Has mold grown behind the drywall? The only way I can think of how to find that out would be to remove the drywall, and I really don’t want to do that.
Here’s this site that I was reading on today, New Jersey Mold Company, that claims that dogs can be trained to sniff-out mold spores and toxins created by mold.
It makes sense, I guess. I’ve had beagles and labradors, and they can definitely find anything with their noses. I don’t know the exact numbers, but I’ve heard they have something like 300 times more olfactory sensors than humans.
If you’re interested in learning about how to find mold, you can read all you want on this site New Jersey Mold Company. It may be especially good to know as you begin the house buying/selling process.
Have any of you dealt with mold?
