About us
Family-Owned and Operated
We are a husband and wife team who live and operate in the San Francisco Bay Area. We have one of a handful of certified mold inspection dogs in the United States. We value our clients and understand their journey because we have been on it ourselves. We get so much fulfillment from helping people who are walking the same path we are.
Pride of Ownership
Some clients just want a mold inspection. We do that. Some clients have a lot of questions prior to an inspection. We answer them. Some clients have a lot of questions after an inspection. We answer those too. Some clients ask that we talk to their remediator. We are happy to. Some clients want to talk about their journey and the hell of mold. We get it. We're great listeners. We're on that journey ourselves and love to share what we've learned along the way.
Wherever you are in your journey, we will meet you there. We take pride in our customer service and do our absolute best to make sure you get what you need to begin healing!

That kind of understanding can’t be learned from a textbook, and it’s one of the things that truly sets us apart.

Post-Remediation
Mold isn't just in homes—it can sneak into vehicles too. We inspect cars, trucks, and RVs, which are often overlooked sources of exposure.
With many of us spending many hours a week in our vehicles, mold can be a real risk. RVs are at risk as well, where hidden leaks and intermittent use can allow mold to grow undetected over time.

In the process of remediating? Our mold detection dogs do post-remediation mold inspections and verification. We'll come in BEFORE you rebuild and inspect to make sure your remediation team didn't miss anything!
