Mold K9 Inspectors LLC

Mold K9 Inspectors is a Salem, NH canine mold-detection company run by owner Shana Marie Placenti and her trained detection dog — a Giant Schnauzer, per one reviewer. The company says it draws on Placenti's own history with toxic mold exposure and a CIRS diagnosis, and that it deliberately stops short of remediation: it does K9 detection, documentation, and health-aware guidance, serving New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York, with travel further out available. Both reviews on file are from March 2026. One is from someone who has referred several clients and describes the company handling mold situations — especially ones tied to real estate transactions — with urgency and professionalism. The other reviewer says they were surprised by the inspector's depth of knowledge about how a water-damaged building can affect the people living in it. Placenti's site lists several mold-inspection certifications — NORMI, NAMP, and MICRO triple certification among them — plus training as a CIRS health coach, though these are the company's own claims rather than independently verified credentials. For a real estate transaction or a home where mold exposure is suspected and a health-informed read matters, this is a specialist worth a call for the inspection itself — just remember any remediation work will need a separate contractor.
