Getting back on track after your property has been damaged by a disaster can be a complex and hectic process. One issue that may arise after a catastrophe is the development of a persistent odor that must be properly eliminated.
Whether you’re dealing with water, fire, storm or mold damage, these dangers can all produce a strong smell that will only intensify the longer you wait for repairs. No matter how tidy you keep your home, nasty odors can sneak into areas you’d never imagine.
Luckily for you, our team has an effective solution to an annoying odor that has overstayed its welcome! Here’s how we go about restoring the fragrance and cleanliness of your property.
Odors are produced from chemicals, gases or small particles in the air. When their origin is eliminated, our team uses deodorization technology in conjunction with various materials and methods meant to eliminate nasty smells.
Some of these include:
Masking agents. Although this isn’t our main method of elimination, these solutions can mask the smell to create a more pleasant environment while we plan and get ready to employ our other strategies.
Filtration agents. Absorption agents are particularly absorbent substances that may eliminate odors from building supplies and furnishings. When the filtering agent runs through adsorption agents, the stench is trapped.
Disinfectants and sanitizers. These solutions target and eliminate any bacteria and fungi that may produce odor inside the affected areas.
While there are other methods that our specialists can employ to eliminate odors from your property, these three are crucial steps in the process of thoroughly recovering your home.
There are four major steps we take to make your property odor-free:
1. Remove the source. Debris saturated with odor-causing substances will only penetrate deeper until the issue’s main cause has been located and addressed. This is why we try to execute this step before anything else.
2. Clean residue from surfaces. Affected areas need to be cleaned and deodorized after removing the odor source. Small particles and residue will generate more unwanted odors if these areas aren’t sanitized.
3. Recreate the odor-causing conditions. Just as odor-causing particles originally infiltrated the surface, our professionals will similarly use a deodorizer. For example, our crew employs ”deodorizing smoke” for this stage if smoke was the cause of your pesky aroma.
4. Seal exposed surfaces. If the problem is serious, sealants may be required to avoid stop odor-producing substances from sneaking inside. We implement this phase when odor treatment becomes too costly or difficult to accomplish.
A swift response is the solution to removing odors once and for all. If you’re dealing with a lingering odor after a calamity, we will be on the scene rapidly to mitigate losses and keep costs low.
