RESIDENTIAL ODOR REMOVAL SERVICES

Odors stemming from fire and smoke damage, water and mold damage, sewage and biological sources are invisible threats that can disrupt your life and your health. In particular, smoke and odor particles continue to be airborne many days after a fire has stopped. Whatever the root of the problem, we have the professional products, systems and specialty equipment to remove a wide range of odors so you can breathe easy again.

Sometimes, multiple treatments are necessary during the odor removal process. That’s why we meet with you and explain all the details upfront. In addition to providing step-by-step explanations throughout the process, we work closely with you to develop the best solution for you and your home.

Our proven odor removal techniques

We use a range of advanced deodorization tools to eliminate odor from your home, including:

  • Air Scrubbers:

Using high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, they remove odorous particles from the air, enhancing the efficiency of cleaning and clearing the air for safe breathing.

  • Thermal Fog:

Use of thermal fogs neutralizes odor, using a strong deodorizer that penetrates everywhere the smoke traveled.

  • Ozone:

This oxidizing agent is produced by a portable ozone generator.

  • Hydroxyl Generators:

These use hydroxyl radicals to eliminate odors from the home.

What causes bad odors in your home?

The odor removal experts at ServiceMaster by Empire are equipped to fully assess and safely eliminate odors and odd smells caused by:

Fire & Smoke:
In the case of a house fire, smoke, soot, and associated odors can linger long after the flames are extinguished. This means that while you’re trying to restore your home, you could be breathing nasty smoke particles into your lungs, in addition to dealing with the stench. Smoke and soot residue from nearby wildfires can cause interior and exterior damage your home, too. Wildfire smoke can easily seep into drywall, wood, and textiles, and fine, toxic soot can coat and damage a range of materials, leading to stains, residue and permeating odors with increased health risks.

Water & Mold:
Where there are pipes, there is always an opportunity for leakage, water damage and mold growth. If you live in an area prone to natural flooding disasters like hurricanes, tidal swells and tsunamis, you are also at high risk for water damage. Without immediate remediation, floods and leaks can damage the structure, foundation and integrity of your home, cause a persistent mildew smell and encourage the growth of pesky, sometimes dangerous mold spores.

Sewage & Biological Sources:
As you can imagine, sewage emits a particularly strong odor that you definitely don’t want hanging around your home. When a sewage backup strikes, to prevent coming into contact with harmful pathogens, you want the bacteria-ridden waste material and its accompanying stench removed as soon as possible.

These unsavory smells create an invisible threat with the ability to disrupt your life and negatively impact your health. At ServiceMaster by Empire, we have the professional products, systems and specialty equipment to remove a wide range of odors and the contaminants that cause them, so you can breathe easy again.
