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

My family and I were very pleased with ServPro’s work on our house. We had significant water damage that required a remodel of our entire upstairs and our downstairs bathroom. ServPro was efficient, responsive, and professional throughout the entire process. I would recommend ServPro Buffalo Grove to anyone!

Makenna Powell

A sump pump recently failed in my home. Two inches of water filled the basement. Hector and his team from Servpro did an excellent job in removing the water, cleaning and drying out the space , wrapping the contents and many other services. Hector and his team were informative, on time and helpful. All other spaces were cleaned . With their help, they made a difficult situation a bit easier. I would highly recommend using them if the situation arises.
