Need Odor Removal?

A rodent passed away inside your living room wall. Your tenant moved out, but the cigarette smell refuses to leave the apartment. Or maybe you’ve got a bigger problem like mold or a sewage backup. Trying to remove the smell of something like tobacco, pet urine, or mold can be daunting and frustrating. It can also turn out to be temporary.

SERVPRO’s 4-Step Odor Removal Process


1.svg

Remove the Odor Source

Debris containing odor-causing residues will continue to give off odors. That’s why we deal with the source of the odor first.

Clean Residues From Surfaces

After the source of the odor is removed, it’s important to thoroughly clean surfaces to deodorize them effectively. If not properly cleaned, tiny particles of the odor-causing residues will continue to smell.

Recreate the Conditions That Caused Odor Penetration

We apply deodorizer in a method similar to how the odor-causing substances originally penetrated a surface. If smoke created the smell, for instance, deodorizing smoke or fog might be most effective.

Seal Surfaces Exposed To Unpleasant Odors

Severe situations may require sealing if odor removal would be insufficient.

Commercial Odor Removal Services

Removing persistent smells from your commercial property—office, warehouse, hospital, apartments, and more—can be quite a challenge. Unpleasant smells can drive customers away and make things difficult for employees. Getting rid of the odor, completely and quickly, can avoid interruption of your normal operations. 

Our uniquely trained professionals will work with you to get your company smelling fresh and back to business as quickly as possible, keeping downtime and lost revenue to a minimum.

What our
customers are saying

Due to a sump pump failure, my basement had water after the recent rains. Jill responded immediately and showed up with Dylan and Collin to start drying out my basement, Kenny and her team worked hard to get everything packed up and out of the basement. The whole mitigation process was very smooth. Would definitely recommend and use Servpro again.

John Sweeney

Gage and Sebastian were very knowledgable, proffesional and communicated very effectively during the demo/cleaning work on our 100 year old home. They cleaned up great after the fact and prepped us for the plumbers coming in this week.

Andrew

Alex and Joe were professional, courteous, and answered all my questions. Most importantly they had the knowledge and equipment and got started right away at getting our basement dried out

Katharine Sweeney

We used Servpro for water, mold, and asbestos remediation. The team of Gage, Sebastian, and Joe was exceptional in every way. Everyday I received a text and/or a phone call to let me know when they were leaving the shop. All communication was friendly and professional. At least daily check-ins and walk through. They asked questions, communicated with the project manager, and always greeted us and said good bye. The work was exceptional and we had a lot of it. A basement tear out is not easy, but they were always positive. I would highly recommend them.

Tricia Giovacco Johnson

Brian Burkle was exceptional in handling our clean up. He and his team were quick to respond and diligent in all follow up activities.

Matt Loecke

Mr. Joe and MJ came to our location on short notice to clean a conference room’s carpet. Not only did they do a great job but were so polite, professional and friendly. I would welcome these two gentlemen back anytime.
