Does your home smell funny? Can't really figure out what it is, but it's a bad odour that has been lingering for a while. Unpleasant musty odours are a common cause of indoor air quality complaints. This could be the most challenging issue to solve.
Identifying the source of odour within the environments could be a difficult task. Odour in offices, buildings or homes may arise right from the simplest things like plain soil to more complex things like biological materials.
Indoor odours can be caused due to:
• Poor maintenance of ventilation, heating and air conditioning systems
• Dampness caused due to moisture
• Electrical odours caused due to overheating of the electrical units
• Carpet, paint and surface coatings
• Rodents and animals piddling
• Chemical/fuel spills or gas leakage
• Unattended deaths and carcasses
Mould odour is more common in households nowadays. It can grow where there's excess moisture, such as water leaks in rooftops, pipes, and walls. Mould odour has a pungent smell. They start growing in patches and can be hidden behind walls or wallpapers.
Indoor and outdoor contaminated air odour arising from biological materials like smoke, contaminates, urine, faeces, mould and human decomposition are some of the obnoxious odours. One needs to be very cautious as these could lead to discomfort, severe headache, and other respiratory problems. Getting rid of substances like these using traditional methods is troublesome.
The need for professional help is necessary with appropriate training and equipment to identify and eliminate these offensive odours. By identifying the root cause and determining the conditions which caused the odour, it can often be eliminated over time without a trace.
