The Summer Heat & Humidity and it’s effect on odors.
By Jon | June 19, 2010
During the hot summers here in Nashville, I will often hear from new customers looking for carpet cleaning and as I probe deeper often the reason for cleaning is to eliminate odors. Odors in a home can be tricky to solve, and often a simple carpet cleaning (although it might help) will not solve the issue. As the humidity and heat rises, often the bacteria in the odor, if it is organic in nature will be reactivated and start to off gas causing a foul odor in the home. This can sometimes be a big issue when its time to sell the home, and I’m often called by realtors looking for a solution.
Sometimes if it is a very mild odor, a very thorough carpet cleaning may do the trick…..but if it has been an ongoing problem, it may require sealing the sub floor and replacing the pad to completely solve the issue. A true professional will have devices such as moister meters and ultraviolet lights to detect the source and in many cases the carpet will need to be disengaged to examine the subfloor to get a true picture of the extent of the damage. In my company, all pet odor situations must be examined in person to provide an estimate……if you find a company that will provide an estimate for this kind of work over the phone…..”Run Forest……Run!!!!
