Overall Result: Pass
Overall Remarks:
Trevor from Davenport was present at the time of
inspection. We spoke with the tenant, who
reported that the odor seemed to be coming
through the ductwork. She had previously
emailed Trevor and sent photos, but he had not
seen them, which contributed to the lack of initial
follow-up.
We all entered the basement together, where
there was a noticeable urine-like smell, possibly
originating from the adjacent unit. While there
was no strong mold odor, the space felt damp.
Some sections of the basement where insulation
is fully enclosed in plastic sheeting showed signs
of leakage and possible mold growth. No obvious
visible mold was noted, but further assessment is
needed to determine the source of the odor,
whether the insulation is harboring mold, and to
evaluate any underlying moisture or ventilation
issues.
I recommended that the tenant use a
dehumidifier in the basement to help reduce
moisture levels. Trevor will follow up with
maintenance and the HVAC company to
investigate the cause of the odor and assess the
condition of the insulation. I also provided the
tenant with my contact information and
encouraged her to follow up if the issue remains
unresolved.
