Those 'Old House Smells' - you'd rather not have!

5/24/2018 (Permalink)

Odors in homes and buildings can be both unpleasant, distracting and cause illness.

"Old house smell" could be a symptom of mildew and mold within the walls, so you'll need to identify the source areas before tackling this issue (mold versus the inherent smells of a very well lived-in dwelling).  SERVPRO of the North Forth can assist with these bothersome smells by finding the source and then eliminating it.

SERVPRO uses specific methods and products to get the best results.  For example, Special Deodorizer is an alcohol-based odor removal product that dissolves and removes noxious odors from affected areas without heavy masking perfumes by acting directly on the source of the odor.  Special Deodorizer is effective on a number of odors and is the product to turn to when others do not work. It is proven to remove various odors from sources such as cigarette and cigar smoke, pet urine, vomit, soured milk, mold, mildew and bacteria.

We have equipment and cleaning devices as well that are effective in eliminating long standing odors.  

SERVPRO of the North Fork, uses only approved products and maintains a good feedback with the community. With many old houses, this kind of issue is routine for our team.  If your house or building has unpleasant odors, call SERPVRO of the North Fork and breathe deeply once more!
