Homes can sometimes harbor unpleasant smells that cannot be removed by ordinary treatments. No matter how much you clean, they never seem to go away. If this is the case, it’s time to consider professional assistance to get rid of these smells once and for all.
Ever wondered where these odors come from? Learn from the experts at ServiceMaster by Reed.
Rotten Food
- Odors from rotting food are usually caused by the microorganisms responsible for the decay.
- While the smell of decaying food doesn't usually cling onto surfaces, expert cleanup is necessary if you start smelling rotting flesh. These excessive odors must be removed immediately to eliminate any inconvenience.
Pet Dander
- Accumulated pet dander will enter your HVAC system and be recirculated throughout your home, resulting in allergies, dermatitis, or asthma attacks.
- In addition, pet dander emits a very foul odor that can permeate indoor spaces. Cleaning your home and replacing air filters often can help.
- When the odor gets out of hand, it's time to contact a cleanup company right away to remove pet dander and its resulting smells.
Mold Growth
- When a water-damaged area is not dried or treated within 24 to 48 hours, mold will grow. Mold only needs moisture to develop, and lurks in damp and poorly ventilated areas such as bathrooms and attics.
- Call a mold remediation company, such as ServiceMaster by Reed, to remove musty odors and the mold causing it.
- Musty odors are usually indicative of mold growth, as well as frequent allergies.
Smoke Damage
- Smoke clings to surfaces for a long time, especially as a result of a major house fire. Ordinary odor removal methods may not be adequate when the smoke has already permeated walls and furniture.
- Smoking cigarettes indoors can spread its smell to furnishings. When smoke damage is not removed, it can lead to health problems and discomfort.
- A professional smoke and odor removal company will be able to eliminate existing smoke odors and improve the quality of the air you breathe indoors.
Sewage Backup
- When your pipes are clogged, sewage can back up and cause overflows. Disgusting sewage smells can remain for long periods without professional cleaning.
- In addition to its rotten odor, sewage is teeming with pathogens and illnesses that can harm anyone who gets in contact with it. After a major flood or sewage backup, call a professional right away.
