A musty smell that keeps coming back usually means wet materials are still in place. Those areas are found with meters and dried or removed.

Ultraviolet lights and moisture meters help find urine spots that cannot be seen, so each one can be treated at its source.
Persistent Odor Elimination
Persistent odor is treated in layers: remove the source, clean the surfaces, then deodorize the air and any remaining materials.
Sewage Odor Cleanup
Air scrubbers run during and after sewage cleanup to remove odor from the air while the area dries.

Deodorization Services Information and FAQs
Why is source identification so important for persistent odors?
Odors keep coming back as long as the source remains, so finding it is what makes treatment last.
What methods are used for chemical smell removal?
Ventilation, cleaning affected surfaces, removing soaked materials and running air scrubbers, after the source is made safe.
Why choose professional odor control over store sprays?
Sprays cover odors for a short time. Professional work finds and removes the source so the smell does not return.
How long does odor removal usually take?
Often a day or a few days, depending on the source, the materials involved and whether more than one treatment is needed.
What is the difference between sanitizing and deodorizing?
Sanitizing reduces germs on surfaces. Deodorizing removes or neutralizes smells. After sewage, both are usually needed.
