Identifying and Locating Odors

Identifying the source of an odor is essential for effective odor removal. Odors under your home can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

These fungi thrive in moist environments and produce a musty, earthy odor.

Leaking pipes or flooding can create damp conditions that attract mold and mildew.

Animal droppings and urine can produce strong odors, especially if they accumulate over time.

Damaged or leaking sewer lines can release foul odors into your home.

Once the odor source has been identified, it is essential to address the underlying issue causing the odor. For example:

Use a bleach solution or commercial mold cleaner to eliminate mold and mildew growth. Ensure proper ventilation during and after treatment.

Contact a plumber to repair any leaks or water damage. Dehumidifiers can also help reduce moisture levels.

Set traps or contact a professional pest control company to remove rodents or pests. Clean up any droppings or urine thoroughly.

Call a plumber to identify and repair any sewage leaks. Avoid entering areas with strong sewage odors as they can be hazardous.
