Pet Odor Inspection & Remediation Ad Home inspection & pet odor
Selling a home that has minor pet urine odor, spots & stains can usually be corrected by having the the carpet professionaly cleaned and deodorized. When a home has very offending cat or dog urine odor and unsightly pet urine stains on the walls & flooring it can be very difficult to get offers from prospective home buyers unless the price of the home is reduced well below the market value and even then it may not be enough to generate a offer you are willing to accept.
Before listing a house that has a severe pet urine odor problem it would be wise to hire your own Home inspector that specializes in pet odor issues so you will have your own report regarding the problem. That is where we come in our home inspections are specific to “Pet Damage” just like a “termite inspection” is to Termites. We check for urine stains using a high output u.v. blacklight the type used by crime scene investigators. We check for moisture using a electronic hydrometer in flooring, subfloor, and walls. We have a method to trouble shoot and locate hard to find odor sources. With the Odor Inspection you will receive a report of our findings, a list of reccomendations and a estimate for the cost to make repairs.
Once you know the full extent of the urine odor damage, and the cost for repairs needed to bring the distressed property to a pre-odor damage condition. You can make a informed decision as to how you should procede with selling your home. If making the needed repairs is not an option and the house must be sold as is, you may can use the odor inspection report to help formulate the asking price. The report can be used as a guide in reducing the listing price without giving away too much of your equity. The estimate in the report can be used as a guide for credit concessions to potential buyers or as a negociating tool when dealing with low ballers. Understanding the specifics about the odor problem will better prepare you to address concerns a potential buyer may have about the pres3ence of odor and how it should be corrected professionally.
