Bad smell coming from ductwork

There has been a particularly bad smell in the home lately. I’ve been having trouble tighting down where it is coming from. It smells care about rotting potatoes as well as it is nasty. You are hit with the strong smell as soon as you open the door. I have looked everywhere for the source of the smell but couldn’t find it for the longest time. It wasn’t the refrigerator or the trash can as well as the smell wasn’t coming from under the couch either, then finally I realized that the smell seemed to be coming from the HVAC system. After all, the smell was always stronger when the furnace or air conditioner kicked on. I tried replacing the air filter for the HVAC system but that didn’t help much. However I did notice that the smell was much stronger in the space where the filter goes. To myself and others that meant that there was easily something stinky in our ductworkwork system. So finally I decided to call out an HVAC supplier to come out as well as do a ductwork cleaning and service for our HVAC system. The HVAC workers used these round brush heads linked to a long hose as well as a drill-like aparatices to scrub our ductwork particularly well. I was surprised at how much dirty, wet mud as well as crap they got out of there. No wonder it smelled so bad. They also oiled as well as cleaned up our HVAC system. Now the smell is finally gone. I could not be more pleased. I was start to recognize that I would never get rid of that stench.
