We provide comprehensive odour and mould removal solutions that focus on both eliminating the source and preventing future occurrences.
COMMON CAUSES OF ODOURS
Flooding or water damage often results in moisture becoming trapped in carpets, walls, furniture, and other materials. This excess moisture creates the perfect breeding ground for mould, mildew, and bacteria, all of which release unpleasant odours. These smells are more than just a nuisance; they can cause respiratory issues, allergic reactions, and worsen existing health conditions such as asthma.
Common sources of odours in water-damaged properties include:
- Mould and Mildew: As moisture sits, mould and mildew can develop, causing musty, damp smells.
- Bacterial Growth: Standing water can lead to bacterial growth, producing foul, decaying smells.
- Dirty Water: Floodwaters often carry contaminants such as sewage, which can lead to a foul odour if not promptly cleaned and treated.
- Damp Carpets and Upholstery: Materials like carpet and upholstery absorb moisture, and if not dried quickly, they can begin to smell.
These odours can permeate your entire property, affecting air quality and overall comfort. Quick and professional intervention is essential to ensure they are fully removed.
