Whether you can see the mold producing the musty odor or it remains hidden, SERVPRO is up to the task of remediating the damage.

SERVPRO Understands Eliminating Mold Odor Starts With Removing the Source of the Mold

Odors from mold damage in Phoenix can leave your home smelling and feeling unclean, poorly-maintained, and older than its real age to visitors and residents alike. If the problem gets bad enough, musty smells can start to become overbearing and glaringly evident in multiple rooms. Long-term air conditioning use throughout most of the year further distributes the odors, allowing them to become pervasive across the entire home, in some cases. Further complicating matters is the resistance of spores to many ordinary deodorants and odor masks. Complete removal of bad smells from your home requires an expert, targeted treatment like those provided by SERVPRO.

How Our Process Works
To effectively combat odors from mold damage in Phoenix, we need to use a variety of advanced, industrial-strength tools and machines. Large-scale air filtration devices allow us to scrub spores and other contaminants from the air, simultaneously decreasing odors and reducing the risk of incurring health effects as a result of the mold. However, many odor particles are too small for these machines to combat, and must be attacked with fogging machines that spread a deodorizing fog into every nook and cranny in the area. For most rooms, we use industrial-scale thermal foggers, but we also bring ultra-low volume foggers for tight spaces.

Why The Process is So Advanced
Many household odors can be eliminated with only a few cleaning supplies and tools, leaving many homeowners confused when these tools do not work for mold odors. Different species of mold produce different types of odors, many of which are resistant to conventional household cleaning products.

Even those that can be effectively eliminated with standard products are typically replaced quickly by a still-active patch of growth. Eliminating foul smells for good requires both our far-reaching odor elimination tactics and our work against the source of growth itself.
