Why get an odor inspection?
The term odor generally refers to an unpleasant and offensive smell. We often come across different odors indoors. Most of the time, we cover them up by spraying air fresheners and forget about them. However, this is a serious mistake because a proper inspection of these odors can lead to some surprising and unpleasant discoveries.
Odor inspections have, on many occasions, revealed long-standing, hidden indoor air quality problems. Odor inspections are a particularly great way to find out if you have moisture problems or hidden mold problems in your house.
Unfamiliar odors, particularly persistent ones, should not be ignored at any cost. If you cant identify the odor or where it is coming from, then you need a professional odor inspection.
Because odors can cause mild to serious health effects like headaches, nausea, coughing, sneezing, allergies and respiratory problems, the best thing to do is to get a professional odor inspection for a permanent and simple solution to the problem.
How does an odor inspection work?
During an odor inspection, a professional inspector will visit your property with the goal of locating the source of the odor. He will take a sample of indoor air from the room(s) in question and send it to an accredited laboratory for analysis. The results of this air testing will identify any air pollutants present in the sample along with a professional recommendation for an appropriate course of action and remediation. State-of-the-art equipment like particle counters, moisture metres, and carbon dioxide metres, air sampling pumps, HEPA filters and HEPA vacuums are extensively used for odor and indoor air quality (IAQ) inspections.
Why does mold give off a musty odor?
Scientists call the musty odors released by molds microbial volatile organic compounds or MVOCs. These musty or moldy odors are the results of the chemical changes that take place during the mold life process. They are none other than waste products given off by actively growing molds. Therefore, MVOCs are a sign that mold is actively growing in your environment and that it should be addressed immediately before it spreads to other areas of the house.
Common places for mold growth
Crawl spaces, basement floors and walls, sump pumps and cracked walls are all places in your home that are highly vulnerable to mold growth. These places also tend to go unnoticed by occupants. However, mildew and mold can easily start growing (even between drywall and the frame) and cause musty odors throughout the house. Even a mild smell is an indication of a potential mold problem somewhere in the house.
The best way to fight the odor and eliminate it permanently is by getting a thorough and professional mold inspection.
You never know if you have mold growing behind walls, under carpets, and above ceilings and where there is mold and mildew problem, there is always a moisture problem that has gone unrepaired. Do not allow the problem to get worse.
