Dry Rot Detection Sniffer Dog

Our Unique Ally in Detecting Dry Rot

At Down Property Care Ltd, we are proud to have Ted, our trained dry rot detection sniffer dog. Ted’s extraordinary sense of smell helps us locate dry rot in properties quickly and accurately, even in hidden or hard-to-reach areas.

Why Use a Sniffer Dog for Dry Rot Detection?

Dry rot can spread unseen behind walls, under floors, and inside timber structures. Traditional inspection methods sometimes miss early-stage infestations or require invasive probing, which can be costly and disruptive.

Ted’s keen nose allows us to identify dry rot at an early stage, reducing the need for destructive inspections and helping you address problems before they escalate.

How Ted Works

Ted has been specially trained to detect the unique scent produced by dry rot fungi. During an inspection, Ted methodically searches the property, signalling when he detects the presence of dry rot. His work helps us target our treatments precisely and saves time and money.
