Meet Gem

At TNK Inspections, we’re always looking for ways to provide our clients with the most accurate, efficient, and minimally invasive mold detection services available. That’s why we’re proud to introduce Gem, our highly trained mold detection dog and newest member of the team.

Working alongside owner and certified inspector Todd Kramer, Gem brings a powerful advantage to both residential and commercial mold inspections—helping identify hidden mold quickly and with pinpoint accuracy.

Why Mold Detection Matters

Mold isn’t always visible. It can hide behind walls, under flooring, inside HVAC systems, and in other hard-to-reach areas—often going undetected until it becomes a costly or hazardous problem.

Early detection is key. Whether you’re a homeowner, property manager, or business owner, identifying mold issues before they escalate can save thousands in repairs and help protect indoor air quality.

What Makes Gem Different

Not all mold detection dogs are the same—and this is where Gem truly stands out.

Most mold dogs are trained to alert within a general area, often sitting to indicate that mold is somewhere within a couple of feet. While helpful, that still leaves a degree of guesswork and can lead to unnecessary cutting into walls, floors, or ceilings.

Gem Does It Differently

Gem is trained to perform a nose-touch indication, meaning she will physically touch the exact location where mold is present. This level of precision allows us to:

• Pinpoint mold locations with incredible accuracy
• Reduce unnecessary demolition or disruption
• Save time during the inspection process
• Provide clearer, more actionable results

With Gem, you’re not just getting a general idea—you’re getting a targeted solution.

Combined Expertise You Can Trust

Gem works hand-in-hand with Todd Kramer, owner of TNK Inspections and a certified mold inspector through InterNACHI. Todd brings:

• Professional training and certification
• A sharp eye for detail
• Honest, straightforward assessments
• A commitment to helping clients make informed decisions

This combination of advanced canine detection and expert human inspection ensures you receive one of the most thorough mold evaluations available.

A Smarter, Less Invasive Approach

Traditional mold detection methods can sometimes require exploratory cutting or multiple test areas to locate the source. With Gem’s precision, we can significantly limit the disruption to your property, focusing only on areas that truly need attention.

This means less mess, less guesswork, and more confidence in the results.
