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

Servpro did a great job with our mitigation and repair. Caleb, Nelson and the whole crew were professional and responsive.

Darkarai Bryant

Mr. Nelson provide outstanding service to NCCU Shepard Library during the library issues with a burst pipe situation. Him and his staff provide excellent customer service and was willing to work with us every step of the way. He and staff were very professional, very reliable, respectful and provided reassures during a somewhat stressful time. The cleanup was performed flawlessly. Thank you.

Vickie Spencer

Caleb Briley was very professional and communicative during an uncomfortable and difficult process. He went above and beyond too help me and my family. Would recommended working with him for any home repairs!

Sydney DiPaulo

Several Large trees fell on our house in June 2025. My first call was to my insurance company and the second call was to Servpro of South Durham. Servpro responded immediately to all our needs to repair/rebuild our property. My reconstruction project manager was Mike St. John and he responded in the most professional manner possible. Mike scheduled carpenters, roofers (metal roof and shingles), siding and gutter technicians, he scheduled masons and painters. This was a huge repair job me, but Mike St John and his Servpro of South Durham did a phenomenal job of returning our damaged house back into a wonderfully comfortable Home, and it was completed on schedule and in a reasonable amount of time. I highly recommend them for any reconstruction project that you might have. Thank you Mike and team! Anthony

Scott Siegel

I worked with Mike on reconstruction after a leak upstairs of my home. He was knowledgeable and put us at ease. Work was done in the time frame that he estimated. Reliable service

Rasheeda Hall

We had a 2nd floor toilet overflow. The water damage ruin not only the bathroom and surrounding area, but also the 1st floor ceiling. When they say water travels, they are not kidding. Drywall was damaged and flooring was damage. Despite the unavoidable chaos of repairs, ServPro made the process easier. Everyone on the team was kind, considerate, professional, and efficient. I do not want to be in this situation again, but if I am, I would like Mike St. John and his team
