Odor Investigations & Treatment

A smell in one room and nowhere else is a strong signal. It means something is wet in a place with no airflow, and it has been wet long enough to start breaking down.

What this actually is

We treat an odor as a locating problem. Thermal and moisture meters narrow it down, and we work from the strongest reading back toward the source rather than guessing and opening walls.

Masking an odor with a treatment is the one thing we will not do without finding the cause first. If something is wet behind a wall, a fragrance does not change that.

Signs you have this problem

  • A musty smell in one room that nobody can locate
  • It is stronger after rain or when the heating comes on
  • It comes back after cleaning and airing
  • A smell behind or under a built in unit
  • Guests notice it and you have stopped noticing it

Questions people ask

Odor Investigations, answered plainly.

Yes, and we will tell you if the readings say so. Most of the ones we are called to turn out to be moisture related, which is why we are the ones called.

Usually one small opening where the readings are already clear. We do not go looking by taking the room apart.

Not on its own. If something is wet behind the wall, a treatment buys you a few weeks and the problem keeps going.
