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.

Odor in Your Home?

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?
