What areas does Luften service?
Luften services the New York City metro area: all five boroughs, Long Island, Westchester, and northern New Jersey including Jersey City, Newark, and Hoboken.
Why it happens
Beyond its geographical reach, Luften's service area encompasses the critical, often unseen, operational zones within a facility. This includes below-grade wastewater systems like ejector pits, vertical infrastructure such as trash chutes, and high-traffic common areas where odors can impact tenant and guest experience.
What to check
To identify problem areas, conduct a walkthrough focused on sources, not just symptoms. Trace odors in basements back to floor drains and ejector pits, checking for dry P-traps in infrequently used fixtures. In waste management areas, inspect compactor rooms for pooled liquid and chute hopper doors for worn gaskets. Note any persistent smells in kitchens and common areas, particularly near drains or in corridors.
When to call a professional
Persistent odors, especially any resembling sewer gas or rotten eggs, require immediate professional assessment as they can indicate hazardous conditions. If basic steps like refilling drain traps do not resolve a smell, or if an odor event is severe, consult a specialist for source identification and treatment. Recurring drain backups and fly infestations also warrant professional service.
