SERVPRO’s 4-Step Odor Removal Process
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.

Thank You Again...
.... Your company came out to our home today. I really needed the help and your men came to my rescue. I know it is a holiday and I appreciate your company more than you know.
My supervisor wanted our in house staff to take care of the carpets that got wet from our water cooler. I knew the water was behind the walls too. Thank you for coming out and using your instrument (thermal camera) and finding the moisture behind the wall. Heaven only knows what would of happened if we would of not done that. I appreciate your detailed explanation and report that Sean supplied.
I am so happy that our insurance company recommended you. Your team was professional and qualified. They knew exactly what needed to be done....
Your office staff was polite and patient with our insurance company. I was surprised at how you keep track of all the phone calls and information on our job. I also want to thank them for sending all the pictures that were taken. I would definitely recommend your company to anyone.
After my child had an accident on the sofa your young man by the name of James came out and he told me not to expect a 100% removal of the spot. After he completed the area, it came out almost perfect. I am so thrilled at what was accomplished. I hope I do not need your company again but if I do, I know who to call. James definitely did an outstanding job.
SERVPRO of Hockessin/Elsmere is a wonderful company with a team of compassionate and thorough employees. I was in need of a company that could help with our burst pipe in our celling. The team was efficient and they were able to identify another area getting ready to go that was missed as well. They first came out in the middle of the night and an additional crew came out in the morning. I greatly applaud their communication to identify additional hazards in my home.
