Foul Odor Treatment

What is Odor?

Odor is a gas, which makes contact with our mucous membranes through the nose and mouth.

Odor is most prominent in the environment where the high temperature is coupled with high humidity. Heat allows materials to expand which in turn allows odors to penetrate into those materials deeper, making the odors more apparent.

Moisture in the atmosphere is also a factor in the growth of mould and mildew, which assists in the rotting process.

Some of the most commonly accepted odour which are generally considered offensive are:

1. Mould and mildew
2. Cigarette smoke
3. Urine and feces (Mainly from pets)
4. Rotting food
5. Chemicals
6. Fire and smoke damage
7. Flood damage contamination

Being a gaseous substance odours permeate the atmosphere and as such are inhaled by humans and depending on the composition of the gases, can be dangerous. Therefore, an understanding of odor, its causes, effects and eradication is extremely important for health and safety reasons. An odour is not just something you smell but in actual fact can be dangerous, thus requiring professionals who can handle odour control with knowledge and confidence.
