Odor complaints stink. No, really — when your facility’s neighbors report a foul or unusual smell coming from your site, it often feels like you’re on a timed search for a needle in a haystack. Unfortunately, this search costs you time and money, so you need to find the source of the odor — fast.
Most odor complaints result in two conclusions: the odor is coming from your site or it’s coming from somewhere else. No matter which category your odor complaint falls into, you will have invested valuable working hours and possibly slowed or halted certain processes to find the source, making odor complaint investigations a costly endeavor. And if your site is the source of the odor, this can be a leading indicator of a larger problem you must resolve.
