Need Odor Removal?

A rodent passed away inside your living room wall. Your tenant moved out, but the cigarette smell refuses to leave the apartment. Or maybe you’ve got a bigger problem like mold or a sewage backup.

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

As difficult as it was to see our home so badly damaged, I knew that your SERVPRO professionals had the knowledge and expertise to restore it. I am grateful for the work the entire team did.  

David E
Buffalo Grove

I was always skeptical of professional restoration until I had no other choice. Now I will tell everyone to contact you first. You’ve made a believer out of me. 

Patrick M
Buffalo Grove

We thought we would have to move because the damage was so bad to our house. Your SERVPRO team showed up so fast, and within a few weeks, here we are back at home. A+++

Skyler P
Buffalo Grove

When the entire neighborhood suffered damage at the same time, I thought I’d wait forever for someone to come help. Your crew was there within hours to help. Awesome response. 

Tim M
Buffalo Grove

You all worked so fast to dry up the house that we didn’t have to lose any of the original materials of our reclaimed farmhouse. Thank you so much. 

Lisa O

Joseph, Matias and Xavier did and excellent job, above and beyond anyone that has ever done work for us. I thank you.

Mildred
Arlington Heights

I did not know what we would do when our house caught fire and it seemed like there was too much damage to save it. I did not anticipate the level of dedication I could expect from your company, and now, I have my house back again. Thank you. 

Jaunita V.
Buffalo Grove

I don’t usually review companies, but I felt like after your crew went above and beyond for my house, I should at the very least do this for you. SERVPRO is the real deal and they do excellent work. 

Mike P.
Buffalo Grove

We were all put certain that once we discovered mold in our restaurant, that we would be fighting it forever. Your amazing team helped us to remove the mold and worked to provide a solution to prevent moisture from allowing it to happen again.
