We Can Remove Unpleasant Odors After Water Or Fire Damage

8/11/2020 (Permalink)

The odors of mold, mildew, soot, and smoke easily permeate through your household items and can linger for months after water or fire damage, making your home or business extremely unpleasant spaces to reside or within. Unfortunately, these odors are stubborn, and it often takes more than just opening up the windows and airing out the space to remove them.

Mold gives off a smell that is described as musty, earthy, or meaty. It often smells rotten or like something decaying, and the unpleasant odor is quite pungent. If you smell mold, this could be a serious hazard to your health and your home, and you should definitely get it checked out. Mold growth is often the result of moisture or water damage in some area of your home or commercial space.

On the other hand, fire damage brings its own set of obvious odors with it—smoke, soot, and ashes all can leave your property smelling like secondhand smoke and also deposit particles in the air that can become trapped in your lungs. Without proper ventilation and cleanup, this smoke odor will remain in every crevice of your building unless it is properly removed.

However, that’s where our team here at SERVPRO of Belle Meade/West Nashville can step in and restore your property back to its original, fresh condition! We are experts in odor removal as well as restoration services, and we will gladly send a team member out to assess your unique situation so that we can remove the odors from your dwelling.

Deodorization is a multi-step process that includes:

  • Identifying the odor
  • Determining where the odor is located by finding the conditions where it contacts surfaces
  • Figuring out the best way to remove the odor
  • Removing the odor and eliminating any trace of it

We have a variety of odor removal products and are trained in techniques to penetrate surfaces to neutralize odors that are trapped within them.
