Our homes are home to a lot of different smells. Some of those smells, like a good meal or fresh cookies, are spectacular. On the other hand, some smells are not so great, like burnt food, sweaty socks, and teenage boys in general. All kidding aside, sometimes, unidentified smells show up that are really bad. The problem is you’re not really sure what they are or even where they’re coming from.

In some cases, you might notice a bad smell coming from your air vents or ductwork, but you’re not really sure what is causing it. These are just a few of the smells that you might notice coming from your vents:

• Mildew and mold
• Cigarette smoke
• Stinky feet
• Something rotten
• Burning smell
• Sewage
• Exhaust fumes

Some of these smells are more dangerous than others, like a burning smell or exhaust fumes. If you smell these then you might want to contact an HVAC pro right away. On the other hand, while these other smells are gross they aren’t necessarily dangerous. However, in order to get rid f them, you should contact a professional duct cleaning company in Portland or Vancouver. They will find the source of the smell and take care of it.
