How do I deodorize under my house?

Identifying and locating odors can be a challenge but is essential for effective odor removal. The key is to determine the source of the odor and the underlying cause.

For under-house odors, consider the following factors:

• Moisture: Inspect for water leaks, condensation, or dampness. Moisture can promote mold growth, which creates musty odors.
• Organic Matter: Check for animal feces, food debris, or decaying wood. These materials can release unpleasant smells.
• Sewage/Plumbing Issues: Look for leaks or malfunctions in sewer pipes or drains. Sewer gases can cause strong, unpleasant odors.
• Ventilation: Ensure adequate ventilation under the house to prevent the buildup of moisture and odors.

Once the source is identified, the appropriate odor removal method can be employed.
