Odors in a property can arise from numerous sources. Biological processes, such as the presence of bacteria on damp surfaces, can lead to musty smells often associated with mold and mildew. Environmental factors, including smoke from fires or chemical substances, can also permeate a property and leave a lingering scent.
Some common causes of odors include:
Burst pipes, ceiling water damage, and flooding can create a breeding ground for mold and mildew, leading to musty and unpleasant odors.
Smoke and soot particles from a fire can permeate various surfaces, leaving behind a persistent and often overpowering smell.
Moisture and humidity provide an ideal environment for mold growth, releasing spores that contribute to a distinctive and unpleasant odor.
Organic matter left by storms can decay, producing odors, and overwhelmed sewage systems can introduce foul smells into properties.
Smoke odor is particularly difficult to remove as it can permeate fabrics, walls, and furniture.
Pets can leave behind smells from accidents, body odor, or wet fur. These odors can be particularly stubborn in carpets and upholstery.
Strong smells from cooking, especially with spices, oils, or frying, can linger in a home.
This includes odors from blood, bodily fluids, and other biological materials, often requiring specialized cleaning and deodorization.
Leaks or backups can lead to foul odors due to the presence of waste materials or standing water.
This can include food waste, dead animals, or other organic material breaking down within a property.
Various household chemicals can leave behind strong odors that are difficult to neutralize.
Knowing when your property has an odor problem is key to maintaining a healthy environment. Persistent or unusual smells that don’t dissipate over time are clear indicators. Visible signs of mold or damage, as well as changes in air quality, can also signal an odor issue. If visitors comment on smells or if you notice a scent upon returning after a time away, it may be time to consult professionals.
Here are some signs that indicate your property may have an odor issue:
Persistent, unpleasant smells that don’t dissipate with regular cleaning or airing out may indicate an underlying problem.
If occupants experience increased allergy symptoms or respiratory issues when inside the property, it could be a sign of hidden mold or other contaminants.
Visible mold patches often come hand-in-hand with a distinct, musty odor. If you notice mold, it’s essential to address both the visible growth and the accompanying smell.
If your property has recently experienced water or fire damage, it’s crucial to be vigilant for any developing odors, as they may signify hidden issues.

ServiceMaster came out when they said that they would. I have used other companies before, and another company quoted me at two weeks. ServiceMaster came out right way, the owner came out to help because they were full, I was totally impressed.
What we liked most was the professionalism and the courteousness of everyone involved. Selena really made us, particularly me, feel like Service Masters really cared about what was going on. I really called her a lot (in retrospect, probably too much). But she never made me feel like I was a burden. She was actually my lifeline. The gentlemen who put down the fans (I did not get their names) were equally compassionate and professional. They checked the fans, and checked the fans, and … checked the fans. They were really thorough and explained every step to us as to what they were doing and why. Then you have the lady and gentleman (again, I did not get their names) who removed furniture and carpet. Wow!! Just watching them was amazing. They cleared everything out in no time and they, too, were professional and courteous. They also explained what they were doing and why. Service Masters has a PHENOMENAL team working for them. I just can’t brag on them enough. THANK YOU ALL!!
Professional, knowledgeable, and friendly.
My curious kitty turned on the water, causing the water to run for a few hours while I was gone. These guys responded immediately and were able to dry everything out without destroying my home in the process, which also allowed me to avoid making an insurance claim. Everyone was respectful, honest, and attentive during the entire process. I hope I never need them again but will be sure to call if I do. Thanks, ServiceMaster!
They were committed to doing all they could to getting my home clean and ready or the repairs to begin.
