Drying monitoring in Lehi Utah
After we start a new water damage it typically takes a few days to get the property dry. We set up drying equipment and monitor the drying progress over a few days. We started a new water damage in Lehi a a few days ago. The first day there was a strong musty odor, from being wet for a few days before we were called in. Today as we monitored there was another strong odor, a urine odor. We sealed of the family room that needed to be dried and with our drying equipment the room got very warm. The carpet in the room had a lot of urine in the carpet, and the heat really brought the urine odor out. The urine in the carpet or the urine odor was not caused by the water damage, and the odor will subside when the temperature is back to a normal room temperature. I hope for the sake of this customer that the insurance company agrees to replace their carpet, if not at least the odor will be back to “normal” when relaid and cleaned.
