At Blue Ridge Mold Dog, we recognize the serious and often devastating effects mold can have on health and well-being. Our mission is driven by both personal and professional experience. Jordan, co-founder of BRMD, is an Integrative Health Practitioner and a Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner. Through years of clinical practice in functional health, she repeatedly identified mycotoxins as a root cause of many clients’ health issues.

This professional insight became personal when one of her children began exhibiting a range of concerning symptoms. After conducting mycotoxin testing, the results revealed multiple elevated markers, prompting a deeper investigation to identify the mold source. After multiple testing sources, symptoms only improved when he was removed from an environment that he was exposed to on a daily basis. Although there were active water leaks, moisture issues and worsening symptoms, the space was deemed “safe” due to the lack of visible mold and missed detection through air testing. During this journey, we discovered significant limitations and inconsistencies in many of the mold testing methods commonly used.

Through extensive research, we were introduced to scent detection—an emerging yet highly effective method in the mold detection industry. Unlike other testing methods, scent detection allows for precision, accuracy, cost-effective, and quick results. We adopted Buck, a Labrador-Hound mix, from our local SPCA and invested over 1,000 hours training alongside industry pioneer Bill Whitstine.

We’re proud to bring this advanced, highly accurate detection method to our community. At BRMD, our goal is to help families and businesses ensure healthier indoor environments through reliable mold detection and improved air quality.
