Smoke and Odor Removal

We’ve all walked into a neighbor’s home and been able to tell what they cooked for dinner based on the smell that lingers in the air. Fortunately, the scent of fried onions or baked lasagna eventually dissipates. Other odors, however, are more offensive and hang in the air much longer. They pervade the environment, and no amount of air freshener makes them go away. These types of stubborn odors are best treated by a professional if they are to be fully controlled or remediated.

The team at American Fire & Water Restoration has seen the negative effects that can occur as a result of foul odors that invade and pervade a home and the home’s contents. Residents can get sick with headaches, be overcome with nausea, or even have to vacate their home until the offending smell is removed. We provide professional odor removal services that go beyond mere masking of a smell. We completely eliminate the odor at its source and restore your home to its original clean, sanitary condition.

For the best results, we recommend professional odor removal for any type of persistent odor. That is because offensive smells invade more than just the air – they permeate walls, carpets, upholstery, structural elements, etc., and every surface requires deep, thorough cleaning if the odor is to be eliminated. American Fire & Water Restoration has the expertise to remove the following types of odors and more:

  • Smoke from a fire that infiltrates a home and settles on walls, furniture, appliances, electronics
  • Musty smells in basements and attics from infestations of mold and mildew
  • Sewage spills and septic tank leaks
  • Cigarette and tobacco smoke
  • Pet urine and feces
  • Skunk spray on your property
  • Remains of dead animals such as mice and other rodents, even deer

 

Some people attempt to clean their odor problem with a homemade or store-bought solution.

These might help remove the odor for a while, but complete elimination of the smell without professional cleaning is virtually impossible. The experts at American Fire & Water Restoration trace the odor to its source – even if it is outside – and take the necessary steps to properly and thoroughly eliminate it.

We are licensed, bonded, and insured, and arrive onsite in company trucks within 90 minutes of receiving your emergency call. We adhere to the standards of the Institute of Inspection, Cleaning and Restoration Certification, and our technicians are all IICRC trained and certified. And because cleaning products and techniques change over time, we follow the latest industry research and advances in applicable technology and procedures.
