Disaster recovery is a confusing and troubling process that no one hopes to go through. A concern that may emerge along with a wide range of other types of damage is the formation of a persistent odor.

No matter the type of damage you’re facing, an annoying odor can form and worsen the longer you wait on restoration efforts. No matter how tidy a house appears, hidden smells can emerge in areas you’d never think to check.

The good news is that we can assist you if you have a stench that you simply cannot get rid of! Let’s go over the methods our crew uses to eliminate odors for good.

Odor Removal Techniques

Airborne chemicals, vapors or small particles can all produce odors. As soon as their origin is removed, our experts use deodorization technologies alongside numerous products and methods made to eliminate smells.

Some of these include:

Masking agents. Although this isn’t our main eradication solution, these products can conceal the odor to create a cleaner environment while we work to prepare our other strategies.

Filtration agents. Absorption agents are extremely absorbent substances that can soak up odors from furnishings and construction materials. Adsorption agents absorb the odors lingering in your home and stop them once they move through the filtering agent.

Disinfectants and sanitizers. The materials are used inside affected areas to control and eliminate bacteria and fungi that might be producing a foul stench.

While there are many other approaches that our specialists might employ to erase smells from your property, these three are crucial processes for thoroughly recovering your house.

The Signature 4-Step Process

There are 4 basic steps to our effective odor-removal procedure:

1. Remove the source. Material coated with odor-causing residue will keep spreading the foul smell until the issue’s root cause has been found and eliminated. This is why, if feasible, our specialists will address the cause first.

2. Clean residue from surfaces. All materials need to be thoroughly cleaned and deodorized after the odor source has been eliminated. Tiny particles and residue will keep producing unwanted smells if they are not adequately cleansed.

3. Recreate the odor-causing conditions. In a similar way to how odor-creating compounds first infiltrated the surface, our professionals will apply a deodorizer. For instance, if smoke was the root of the problem, this stage will involve “deodorizing smoke.”

4. Seal exposed surfaces. In serious cases, sealants may be necessary to keep the odor-producing agents from making their way inside. When odor elimination becomes overly expensive or impracticable to finish, we undergo this step immediately.

Quick action is essential when you’re faced with a lingering odor. We can provide a timely restoration when you’re dealing with a pesky lingering odor to prevent further damage from occurring. Keep our number handy and give SERVPRO of New Center/Highland Park a call as soon as disaster strikes!
