Steven and I dive into how mold detection dogs are transforming mold identification and remediation. We talk about how their superior sense of smell can detect both active and dormant mold, even when conventional testing fails. Steven shares how trained K9s can help you get remediation right the first time; saving time, money, and your health. Make sure to watch the full interview to learn more.
