Odor Removal Services Identifying and Locating Odors

How do I deodorize under my house?

It can be difficult to locate the source of an unpleasant odor. The first step is to try to identify the type of odor. Is it musty, moldy, or chemical? Once you have a better understanding of the odor, you can start to narrow down the possible sources.

  1. Check for water damage. Water damage can cause musty or moldy odors. Look for signs of water damage, such as water stains on the walls or ceilings, or a musty smell in the basement or crawl space.
  2. Inspect your HVAC system. A dirty HVAC system can circulate odors throughout your home. Check the air filter and ducts for dust and debris, and clean or replace them as needed.
  3. Examine your carpets and furniture. If you have pets or smoke in your home, your carpets and furniture may absorb odors. Vacuum your carpets regularly and have them professionally cleaned if necessary.
  4. Look for dead animals. A dead animal under your house can cause a strong odor. Check for any openings in your foundation or crawl space where an animal could have gotten in.
  5. Hire an odor removal specialist. If you cannot find the source of the odor yourself, you may need to hire an odor removal specialist. These professionals have the experience and equipment to locate and eliminate odors.
