Subject: RE: BS: Pee smell not in carpet... It's in... From: John P Date: 02 Jun 11 - 12:16 PM We moved into a house last year where the previous owner had left her dogs and cat in the basement a lot. The carpets were completely stinky and the enzyme stuff as well as professional cleaning didn't do away with it. After a few months we ended up ripping out all the carpet. The paneling on the walls was so soaked with dog urine that it was coming delaminated. So that got pulled out as well. Now we have nicely painted drywall, cork floors, and no money. But also no stink! Give up. Rip it out and start over. This one is bigger than you. |

Subject: RE: BS: Pee smell not in carpet... It's in... From: JohnInKansas Date: 03 Jun 11 - 01:39 AM Even if the ductwork isn't easily accessible for replacement, most air ducts are large enough to be cleaned with appropriate equipment, although it's not usually a DIY job. If the duct stinks, it means there's contamination in it; and the same kinds of contaminants that produce odors are also prone to producing "infections" that can be a very serious health hazard. BOBERT HAS IT RIGHT: the ductwork needs to be professionally cleaned and/or replaced. The cleaning should give some indication of the source of the odor, which may be anything from a dead animal to accumulated dust or to a "condensate" problem with mold/mildew. Depending on what's found by the cleaning, some additional corrective action may be indicated to prevent recurrance of the problem; but nobody can predict what will be found until something is sucked out and identified. OF COURSE the initial assumption that it was "pee on the back steps" is a cause for our concern about Bobert's level of cultural/social acclimation and behavioural deviances (who did he think might have pee'd there?) but his (so far as we know) accurate assessment of the real problem, and immediate selection of the appropriate remedies speaks of intelligence and clear insight on a par with the best of us here, despite being somewhat unexpected in an And we should not hold it against him for not having total control of his wet spot(s), any more than we blame Bill D for having no functional nipple. My money's on Bobert to solve that wet spot problem (if he thinks it worthwhile) long before Bill D makes his nipple work. John |

Subject: RE: BS: Pee smell not in carpet... It's in... From: Rapparee Date: 03 Jun 11 - 10:22 AM Bobert, I'm going to pass on to you the second-last thing my sainted Momma told me before I left home. She raised herself up on her cane in the iron lung and said, "Don't pee in the pipes." I've always tried to live by that advice. The last thing she said to me when I left home was, "And don't come back!" |
