Aroma Investigations

Odors are a key part of Indoor Air Quality Investigations where a “keen nose” helps the investigator narrow down the source of the environmental stressor. Odors can be categorized several ways: Organic, Biological or Chemical.

For example, A "Cat-Urine type aroma" (with no cats in the home) is a good indication of an organic rodent scent trail. A “sweaty-sock smell” is a certain bacteria that infests HVAC cooling coils. Where a "sweet-nail polish type odor" is a good indicator of a chemical vapor intrusion.

It Doesn’t Smell (That Bad)!

The nuisance aroma associated with Moisture and Mold related projects are complex and subjective issues that are often difficult to address. Building materials absorb and re-release odors differently; Soil gases and vapors come and go; ambient impacts (from pets, occupants, lifestyles, etc) impact odors and we all just smell things differently.

How Do I Know If I Have A Problem?

A person’s perception of odor is related to their olfactory system which can vary widely from person to person; what smells bad to one person may have no odor at all to someone else. But all odors are an indication of something going on in your home. A good rule of thumb is:

“If the leftovers in your refrigerator smelled like your damp-musty basement, would you eat them?”

My Spouse Doesn’t Smell Anything.

Women in particular seem to be more sensitive to odors than men. Some folks have a great disconnect from what they think they smell and what it actually is. In short, no 2-noses smell the same. That's where bringing in a professional "sniffer" really pays off.

How do I Get Rid of That Smell?

You can clean, use air-fresheners, paint, install new carpeting and ventilate the home. But that will just mask the smell and lend temporary relief. The bad smell will just return.

It all goes back to the source. If you have done all you can do and your home still stinks, give GreenWorks a call. They can help identify the source and get rid of your bad smell once and for all.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every Time I Enter This Room in My Home I Get Itchy, My Throat Constricts and I Can’t Breathe.

Moldy shower - gw llcMany folks have (or develop) sensitivity to molds and chemicals that are immediately noticeable. Other times it takes longer as we age, and our immune systems start to decline. Everyone is different. But when one room in your home gives you such immediate discomfort, there is almost always a hidden microorganism to blame. Better bring in a mold specialist.

I Smell a Damp Musty Aroma When I Enter My Basement.

Mold floor beam - gw llcActively growing molds have a distinctive musty aroma associated with their life cycle. Picture walking into a basement and what aroma is typically associated with that environment. If you smell smoke, there’s almost always fire. A pro would help you determine what is going on with that aroma.

I’ve Lived Here for 40 Years and I Don’t Smell Anything!

Arroma critters - gweIt’s not unusual to have become so de-sensitized to the aromas associated with your home after living there for decades. Many times folks new to your home will notice the unusual aroma and mention it to you. You should hire a professional and investigate this further as things are not as they always seem to you.

How to Remove Odors from Home?

The best way to remove odors is to remove the source. But odors are often absorbed by surrounding building materials and can be difficult to address. To address those areas can use a deodorizing treatment such as a biocide, hydroylation, ozone, etc. It just depends on the type of odor and how long it has been around.

How Does One Get Rid of the "Musty" Smell in 100-Year Old Houses or Apartments?

A musty smell is often a sign of a larger moisture challenge. Manage the moisture, and the odor often dissipates as well.

I can't recommend Greenworks enough! I'm in the process of selling my home, and the buyers had a mold inspection done that resulted in a remediation...

I have had the pleasure to work with Greenworks Environmental since 2022. The knowledgeable employees with Greenworks Environment helped me to get the answers that I desperately needed regarding my house and my health. For years, there was water and mold damage behind my walls that I was not aware of.

From the time we purchased the home, my family began to experience sicknesses that confused doctors. After years of searching for the right company to investigate my home, I finally found Greenworks! Greenworks Environmental completed a whole house assessment where we spent hours looking at every little detail of my home and identified the areas of concerns. Over time, with engaged collaboration and specific mold testing approaches, Greenworks identified several areas of remediation recommendations.

During the numerous remediation projects, Greenworks kept me informed, educated me and provided refences for resources for me to research to start to heal our health. They were diligent and incredibly professional and clean and provided exceptional documentation and photos needed for insurance and legal purposes.

I had talked with many companies before Greenworks, and many downplayed my concerns. If I have not found Greenworks, I would still be searching for answers. The entire project lasted about 2 years, and my family has finally started to feel better by addressing the health impacts of prolonged mold exposure. This process is overwhelming, scary, and expensive, but Greenworks was incredibly supportive and reassuring to me from start to finish!

The service and support that Greenworks Environment has saved and changed my life. I am beyond grateful for the expertise that Greenworks Environment embodies and I would highly recommend this company if you have any concerns with your home!

GreenWorks LLC is a company I highly recommend. Victor provided excellent service, answering all of my questions (and then some!) with great expertise. He is very understanding of how mold sickness affects both the person struggling with it and the effect it can have on family dynamics as a result. His availability and desire to spend the necessary time with us ensured a smooth and efficient experience. He identified details that others overlooked, demonstrating his keen attention to detail and comprehensive understanding of the relationship between indoor air quality and environmental conditions. I highly recommend Victor and the Greenworks, LLC team to anyone looking for reliable and knowledgeable professionals!

Greenworks put in our drainage system about 10 years ago so I called them because we were getting liquid into our basement. They quickly scheduled an appointment to investigate. Later on that evening a terrible odor started and I called our plumber who came and said it was the sewerage line coming into basement.

The next day I called Greenworks and they cancelled the investigation appointment and told me how to clean (disinfect/deodorize) the basement. Thank god for Greenworks and especially Tracy who I was dealing with on the phone.

I highly recommend Greenworksllc.

Victor and the team at GreenWorks are great. After having work done outside our home we were left with a strong chemical odor we were assured would go away after a few days. After a few days passed we were told it could be 3 weeks so I decided to contact GreenWorks to come investigate especially having a baby. We are still working through issues at home by GreenWorks could not have been more responsive and helpful.
