What is an Odor Investigation?
Persistent, unpleasant odors in indoor environments can be a cause for concern, affecting health, well-being, and productivity. Odor removal services offer comprehensive solutions to effectively address these issues, starting with an in-depth odor investigation.
During an odor investigation, trained professionals utilize advanced techniques to identify the source and nature of the odor. This may involve:
* Visual inspections to detect visible signs of odor sources, such as mold, mildew, or pet accidents.
* Olfactory testing to assess the intensity and characteristics of the odor.
* Air sampling to collect samples for laboratory analysis, which helps determine the presence and concentration of specific odor compounds.
* Moisture mapping to identify areas with excessive moisture that can contribute to odor problems.
* Interviews with occupants and building staff to gather information about the history of the odor, potential sources, and mitigation attempts.
The findings of the odor investigation are documented in a detailed report, which provides recommendations for effective odor removal strategies.
