What Is That Smell? -Bonita Springs, FL

In the wake of a disaster such as a mold infestation or a fire, there seems to be an endless path. Having to deal with a disaster at home is an experience most people do not expect. Having lingering odors in your home following restoration is the last thing you want.

Understanding the causes as well as the solution to stubborn odors at home is key. There are a few common pesky odors that do not want to leave your home:

Mold

Mold does not generally have a strong odor, but its odor is usually described as musty. The scent is described as earthy or even rotten by some. When your home has smelt like mold, you should have a mold test conducted. For your home to smell fresh and clean again, you need mold remediation and removal services. The removal of mold should only be done by trained professionals because mold is hazardous.

Smoke

The effects of fire can be devastating, and even areas that were saved may retain the odor of smoke. The sooner you eliminate stubborn smoke odors in your home, the better your indoor air quality will be.

Homeowners will find it nearly impossible to remove smoke from nooks and crannies of their houses because it can penetrate a building's walls. For complete smoke residue removal and odor removal, contact an experienced fire restoration specialist. By using their knowledge and technology, they can quickly restore your home's comfort. 

Pets

Having a pet can make the whole family happy, but the smell emanating from a wet dog or a cat litter box can be extremely unpleasant. Having a pet may leave an unpleasant odor on your carpets and soft surfaces. Renting a carpet cleaner and vacuuming will only help with surface buildup; professional odor removal is the only way to completely get rid of odors in your home. They'll use the right equipment and know what's causing the smell in your house, so your family will be able to breathe easily in it.
