Common Disasters that Result in Odor
Water and Storm damage
Many things can cause water damage. Most commonly, it is due to a plumbing problem. Some of the ways this can happen are a pipe may burst, a clog in drain pipes, or faulty faucets. Water damage can also happen as the result of a powerful storm or flood damage. When water damage occurs, the wood in your home will absorb the water and begin to rot. The wood will smell mildew if it is not dried out quickly enough. After removing the moisture from the wood, it needs to be treated with a disinfectant or deodorizer to keep any bacteria from growing due to remaining moisture.
Fire damage
Fire damage is another common cause of odor in a home. Items like carpeting and wooden shelves can be damaged when a fire happens. The fire itself may have completely consumed the home, but some odors from the smoke remain. Because of this, you must test for moisture levels on any items burned by the fire when you have your odor removal services performed. If an item smelled strongly of smoke and did not burn, there is a chance that the odor cannot get removed completely. However, it can be greatly reduced.
Smoke and soot damage
Smoke and soot are caused by fire and can also be caused by a chimney or even some type of accident that causes the air to be filled with smoke. When this happens, the wood in your home will absorb the smoke and begin to smell. The wood will eventually smell smoke if it isn’t dried out quickly enough. After the smoke has been cleared, it needs to be treated with a disinfectant or smoke damage spray to help eliminate any remaining odor.
Mold damage
There are many sources of mold in your home, like bathrooms and kitchens. It is important to take care of these problems quickly because once mold begins to grow over a while, it can cause health problems for you and your family. Mold is caused by moisture in the air and will begin to smell once it thrives. When you have the odor removal services performed on your home, make sure the area that has been affected by mold is completely dry before they start work.
