SERVPRO’s 4-Step Odor Removal Process


1.svg

Remove the Odor Source

Debris containing odor-causing residues will continue to give off odors. That’s why we deal with the source of the odor first.

Clean Residues From Surfaces

After the source of the odor is removed, it’s important to thoroughly clean surfaces to deodorize them effectively. If not properly cleaned, tiny particles of the odor-causing residues will continue to smell.

Recreate the Conditions That Caused Odor Penetration

We apply deodorizer in a method similar to how the odor-causing substances originally penetrated a surface. If smoke created the smell, for instance, deodorizing smoke or fog might be most effective.

Seal Surfaces Exposed To Unpleasant Odors

Severe situations may require sealing if odor removal would be insufficient.

Commercial Odor Removal Services

Removing persistent smells from your commercial property—office, warehouse, hospital, apartments, and more—can be quite a challenge. Unpleasant smells can drive customers away and make things difficult for employees. Getting rid of the odor, completely and quickly, can avoid interruption of your normal operations. 

Our uniquely trained professionals will work with you to get your company smelling fresh and back to business as quickly as possible, keeping downtime and lost revenue to a minimum.

What Our

Customers Are Saying

SERVPRO Santee/Lakeside came for a carpet cleaning on my stairs. It has been a very tough job to get done. The techs came in on time and did a fantastic job. They were professional and extremely polite. I would recommend their services to anyone. Thank you for the work

I have dealt with restoration companies in the past, so I was a bit wary. One restoration company charged a fortune for poor service, but the insurance paid, which was their racket. SERVPRO was a breath of fresh air. From start to finish, they were professional, thorough, trustworthy, and very fair. Their communication was outstanding. They were timely, very competent, and they completed the job quickly.  I would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Great experience during a difficult time. The crew was professional, and very courteous. The service was exceptional, SERVPRO of Santee made a bad situation bearable and minimized my stress with a move-out.

Woke up early Saturday morning to water pouring down from the upstairs bathroom through the ceiling! We called Charlie and he sent his Team over in under 2 hours. We were so impressed when they walked through the door in uniform with lots of equipment in hand and got right down to business. It's amazing how far the water can penetrate and while the drywall cuts were distressing to look, they were nice and clean and of course necessary. The fans provided for drying the moisture did the job and were removed on schedule. The guys were very professional. Hopefully, we don't need them again but would definitely call them again and recommend highly!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY!!!  They responded immediately to my roof leak that caused flooding in my attic and in my master bedroom upstairs. They prevented the damage I had from getting extremely worse. They were on the scene within an hour of my frantic phone call.

Open 24 hours. I called very early morning and Alex was on the job. House was flooded. He came right away. This has never happened to me so I didn’t know what to do and Alex walked me thru it all. He also came out after the job was completed with insurance to make sure everything was in order. Thank you Alex! God Bless SERVPRO. I highly recommend!!
