Why Odor Control is Important

​

• Health Impact: Lingering odors from smoke, mold, or sewage contain microscopic particles and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that can irritate the respiratory system.

• Air Quality: Persistent odors decrease indoor air quality, making the environment uncomfortable and potentially harmful.

• Complete Restoration: A property isn’t truly restored until it smells fresh and clean, as odors can undermine the sense of safety and normalcy.

Some Methods Used for Effective Odor Control
 

• Proper Assessment:

  • Identify the source of the odor (e.g., smoke particles, mold spores, bacterial contamination).

  • Inspect hidden areas like ducts, insulation, and subflooring to locate the root cause of the odor.

• Source Removal:

  • Odor control starts with eliminating the source of the odor. For instance, charred materials, moldy items, or sewage residue must be removed completely.

• Thorough Cleaning:

  • Clean all surfaces, including walls, ceilings, floors, and furniture, using specialized detergents and equipment to ensure no residues are left behind.

• Advanced Deodorization Techniques:

  • Thermal Fogging: A deodorizing solution is heated and turned into a fog that penetrates deeply into porous materials to neutralize odors at their source.

  • Ozone Treatment: Ozone generators release ozone gas that breaks down odor molecules. This method is highly effective but requires precautions as ozone can be harmful.

  • Hydroxyl Generators: A safer alternative to ozone, these machines use UV light to neutralize odors without evacuating the property.

  • Activated Carbon Air Filters: These are used in air scrubbers to trap odor particles and purify the air.

• HVAC Cleaning:

  • Air ducts and HVAC systems often trap odor-causing particles and need to be cleaned and deodorized to prevent odors from recirculating.

• Sealants:

  • Sealants can be applied to structural materials like wood or drywall to lock in any remaining odors and prevent their release over time.

• Final Air Purification:

  • HEPA air scrubbers and purifiers ensure the air is clean and free of any lingering odor particles or contaminants.
