Odor in homes and buildings can arise from many sources including animal urine, skunk, dead animal, smoke or fire damage, moisture, mold, or just plain soil. While some odors can become completely overwhelming within your home, all can be removed through proper methods and use of current technology. Pet urine decontamination normally requires more specialized deodorizing techniques. To remove musty odor associated with moisture, ultimately it's important to identify, remove and correct the moisture (high humidity) intrusion problem. Most odor removal projects include use of air scrubbers/ negative air machines with chemical filters designed to remove bad air, ozone machines
Odor removal involves four general principles:
1. removing the source as possible;
2. cleaning affected surfaces and materials;
3. recreating the conditions of penetration with appropriate counteractants, and
4. sealing restorable surfaces as necessary.
