Odor Removal Services Identifying and Locating Odors

How do I Deodorize Under My House?

Unpleasant odors under your house can be a nuisance and a health hazard. Identifying and locating the source of the odor is the first step in eliminating it. Here are some common causes of odors under your house and tips on how to remove them:

  • Mold and Mildew: These thrive in damp, humid environments and can cause musty odors. Inspect your crawlspace or basement for any signs of moisture, such as water stains or condensation. Dehumidify the area, clean up any mold or mildew, and seal any leaks.
  • Sewage Leaks: Broken or leaking sewer lines can release foul odors. Check for any cracks or leaks in your sewer lines and have them repaired immediately.
  • Pet Odors: Pets can leave behind unpleasant odors, especially if they urinate or defecate under your house. Clean up any pet messes immediately and use an enzymatic cleaner to remove the odor.
  • Dead Animals: If an animal dies under your house, it can create a strong and unpleasant odor. Locate the animal and remove it, then clean and disinfect the area thoroughly.
  • Garbage or Compost: Odors from garbage or compost can seep into your house through cracks or vents. Store garbage and compost in sealed containers and keep them as far away from your house as possible.

If you are unable to identify or locate the source of the odor, contact a professional odor removal service. They can use specialized equipment and techniques to locate and eliminate the odor.
