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.

We had a November 2015 fire, and interviewed many of the major companies (including the one recommended by our insurance company). We were under-whelmed by the other big companies, and thankfully chose ServiceMaster. They worked with us tirelessly, and treated us like family. High respect for our possessions, and for our emotions…
Great crews that treated our home like it was their own.
Timely, professional, communicative. I’m extremely happy with the service I received and happy to see my mold issue resolved.
They did a fabulous job cleaning the carpets at my home! They were prompt, professional and courteous! I will definitely use them again!
We have used Service Master a few times and they have been extremely helpful and fast in both situations. Employees are extremely knowledgeable and are focused on providing the right solution for the situation.
