Odor Removal In Your Apartment Complex

6/30/2020 (Permalink)

The existence of odor issues is something every apartment complex owner or manager is very familiar with. There are bound to be situations that arise to create unpleasant odors with so many people living close together, and sometimes those smells can be overpowering. There are lots of reasons issues of this kind arise; keep in mind that if it is a serious situation, your friends here at SERVPRO are here to help. 

Bad odors can often be dealt with by opening doors and windows to air out apartments when odors are caused by cooking. However, if one of your tenants has had a leak or small flood in their unit and their wet carpeting is now putting out an unpleasant smell, the carpet should be professionally dried and cleaned. This may very well require the removal and replacement of the carpeting after more extensive flooding, though. Ensure that the carpeting is either removed or completely dried as soon as possible to prevent a mold colony from taking advantage of the damp environment. If you do end up removing the carpet, you may want to consider changing your flooring choice to linoleum or faux wood, to lessen the chance of this happening again in the future.
