Luna the Mold Detection Dog

Meet  Luna

Luna has gone through an extensive and rigorous training to be able to detect mold in hidden places. She can smell mold through walls, cabinets, and flooring in your home.

Unlike a traditional air quality test, Luna can pin point exactly where mold may be hidden. This will overall save you time and money when taking care of the problem.

As an added bonus Luna is hypoallergenic for families who may also have other sensitivities to pets
