American Construction & Plumbing Is Going To The Dogs

FORT MYERS, Fla. - June 10, 2014 - PRLog -- American Construction & Plumbing in Fort Myers, Fl is like no other full service company, already providing water leak detection, mold detection and remediation, water extraction, home inspections, painting, carpet cleaning, plumbing repairs/installation, and complete bath and kitchen remodels.

But that's not what really makes them different, they employ a very special tool against the most deadly thing you could have in your home. MOLD... and/or Chinese drywall.

Many homes have had Chinese drywall removed from their toxic homes, but the war on "mold" is a never ending battle that must be waged in any home where this insidious enemy of our health lives. For this, a very special weapon is brought to bear by American Construction & Plumbing. Canines.

Dogs that are specially trained and certified to "sniff out" mold and Chinese drywall in any home or business. These "canine detectives" can literally find mold where many other "high tech" meters were not able to locate it.

Owner John Burrows claims, "He’s offering the sniffing services to those who suspect they have the drywall, but seek confirmation. The pure-bred German shepherd is capable of snooping out defective Chinese drywall in homes.

Ironically named Snoop, John's dogs have had 800 hours of training at the Florida Canine Academy, where trainer Bill Whitstine teaches dogs to detect bombs, drugs, money, weapons, termites, mold, accelerants and bed bugs.

Whitstine's animals have appeared on TV shows including Animal Planet, the Discovery Channel, National Geographic and even Home and Garden, he said.

Burrows says it’s less expensive and invasive than inspectors cutting holes in walls to prove presence of the product. “We’re looking to help people make prudent decisions,” Burrows said. “I think people have been worked over enough.”

American Construction & Plumbing is one of only a handful of companies who have been using these highly intelligent and specially trained animals to locate mold and/or Chinese drywall.

What do people think when the "Canine Detectives" find the mold in their homes that other companies were simply unable to locate?

North Cape Coral, Fl homeowners, Tom and Phyllis Hefferan, were happy with the results. “It’s like amazing to me,” Tom said.
