If your home has a persistent foul smell, we can help you. Strong, funky odors can catch you off-guard, and the smell might not go away if you cannot find the cause. From fire damage to water issues and pest infestations to mold growth, your house may have many potential causes of bad odors. Lamunyon Dry Out & Foundation Repair utilizes expert techniques and methods to eliminate bad odors and prevent them from returning. Our odor removal service in Kansas will provide you with a fresh-smelling home or business, ensuring a healthy living environment.
Common Odor Sources in Your Home
There are many ways for an unpleasant odor to take root in your home. Some common sources include the following:
Fire & Smoke
Dealing with fire damage does not end with extinguishing the flames. A recent house fire can leave behind a lingering smell that’s hard to get rid of. The residue left behind by the fire, including the smoke and soot, can be hazardous to your health and can even permanently affect your belongings.
Pets
Living with a pet involves dealing with hair and animal waste. However, nobody wants to deal with strong pet odors in their home, especially if they were caused by the previous owner.
Water
Water damage in your home or business can leave a lasting impact in the form of a persistent musty odor. Water in the basement or crawl space, wall stains, peeling paint, warped wood, discoloration, and a sagging floor are among the most common issues caused by water intrusion in your home. All these issues have one thing in common: a musty smell.
Mold
Mold begins to grow after your home is affected by water. Mold is not always visible. Sometimes, it grows behind wallpaper or drywall or under carpeting or ceiling tiles. Whether the mold is visible or not, it always comes with a musty, unpleasant odor that spreads through your home rapidly and affects your indoor air quality.
Plumbing Problems
Leaking pipes often result in a musty smell around the house. Water contaminated with sulfur bacteria is also a common reason why your water might smell like rotten eggs. Contaminated water can release hydrogen sulfide gas, which irritates your eyes, nose, and throat. If you only smell the odor when you run hot water, the water heater might be the problem.
Poor Air Circulation
Unclean, clogged, or polluted air ducts prevent healthy air circulation throughout the home, resulting in a funky odor that spreads throughout the living space. In many cases, dead pests inside the air ducts also contribute to the horrid smell.
Sewage Problems
Sewage smells are often caused by a dried-out P-trap in a drain pipe. The P-trap should usually have enough water to block out offensive sewer gases like hydrogen sulfide. A P-trap that doesn’t have enough water forces you to breathe hydrogen sulfide and may be the source of any unpleasant smells in your home.

Pet Odor Removal
If you’ve recently moved into a property that previously had pet(s) living in it, you might notice an extremely strong smell. The smell of animal waste alone is unpleasant enough. On top of that, pet dander can also accumulate in the air ducts, compromising air circulation and making the smell worse. Our pet odor removal service is tailored for such cases.
Smoke Removal
Flames can be put out with a fire extinguisher, but the persistent smell of smoke might be hard to get rid of. The effects of smoke can sometimes stay inside your air vents for weeks or months and keep circulating through the air around your home.

Lamunyon Dry Out & Foundation Repair has comprehensive mold removal, mold restoration, and mold remediation services. We eliminate mold odors from your home and ensure the smell doesn’t occur again by eradicating the mold from its source. Implementing preventative measures.
Pest Odor Removal
Pests and rodents can invade your air ducts if they are not sealed and insulated properly. They can also invade your living space through broken air filters. In some cases, pests continue to live and breed within your vents, leading to a persistent bad smell. If animals die in the ducts, the smell will linger and get worse for a long time. Once the pest is removed, our odor removal service will provide additional effective measures to protect your living space from your lingering odor.
How Do Lamunyon’s Odor Removal Services Work?

Identify the Source of the Odor
We start by thoroughly inspecting your property to identify the root cause of the odor. We assess each corner of your property and determine the appropriate solutions to permanently eliminate unpleasant smells.
Clean & Remove Residues
Once we’ve determined the source of the problem, we clean and remove any residues left behind by whatever is causing the smell, such as pet dander, fire soot, and mold. This helps us eliminate the root cause so the smell does not occur again.
Odor-Neutralizing Solutions
We use specialized equipment and chemicals to break down and neutralize odor molecules. Depending on the intensity of the odor, our experts implement methods such as oxidation, adsorption, disinfectant fogging, and applying pairing agents that chemically bind to odor particles.
Benefits of Removing Odors
There are several additional benefits of addressing unpleasant odors in your home. Proper odor removal provides you with health benefits and maintains your investment in your home.
Improved Health
Odors are not just bad for the nose; some smells, such as those originating from mold and sewage problems, can also irritate your skin, eyes, nose, and throat. Some odors also cause issues like headaches and dizziness. Eliminating the odors from your home helps you avoid these health problems.
Better Air Quality
Eliminating bad odors also eliminates harmful allergens and pollutants from the air, improving indoor air quality and keeping the atmosphere healthy.
Safer for Pets and Children
When your home is free of bad odors, harmful gases, polluted HVAC ducts, and bacterial growth like mold, it has better indoor air quality, which reduces the risk of allergies and health issues. As a result, your home is safer for your family, including pets and children.
Maintains Property Value
It’s essential to get rid of persistent bad smells in your home, as well as the cause, to maintain its value. Bad odors are often a sign of mold or moisture issues which can be very destructive throughout your home.
