Common Odors in Commercial Buildings and How to Get Rid of Them

If you’ve ever been in a commercial space with unpleasant odors, you probably wanted to get out ASAP. Bad smells are never good for business and must be dealt with immediately and ensure long-lasting results. 

Here are some of the common areas where odors in commercial buildings are found. Be sure to check these areas often, and perhaps call in for professional odor removal equipment to properly handle it. 

Public Restrooms

A common area where everyone does their business is sure to release some unpleasant odors in the air. Sewage odors can arise from an array of issues including backups in your sewer lines, clogged vents, or damaged drain lines. Be sure these areas are checked and cleaned regularly. For a sure solution, consider renting a hydroxyl generator to tackle all the sewage odors in the air. 

Mold & Mildew

Mold growth is possible wherever there’s a moisture source and prime growing conditions. With it can come the musty odors that we all dread. In a commercial space, the places mold are hiding and growing are vast. Common places that should be checked regularly include the HVAC system, around drinking fountains, the kitchen, bathrooms, dark corners, around windows, etc. Tackling a mold problem early on can help minimize its spread and growth. 

Smoke Odors

One of the most devastating events that can happen to any building is a fire. When commercial buildings are hit, it can displace employees and disrupt business. Even after the flames are put out, smoke odors linger and are extremely difficult to get rid of. Smoke odors need to be addressed immediately because they can pose health risks including severe respiratory issues, chest discomfort, eye irritation, etc.
