Odors stemming from fire and smoke damage, water damage, mold damage, sewage, and biological sources are invisible threats that can disrupt your business operations and impact the health of employees and customers. In particular, smoke and odor particles continue to be airborne many days after a fire has occurred. Whatever the root of the problem, ServiceMaster Restoration by David has the professional products, expertise, and specialty equipment to remove a wide range of odors so that your facility can be safe and fully operational again.
Sometimes, multiple treatments are necessary during the odor removal process. That's why we meet with you and walk you through the process upfront. In addition to providing step-by-step explanations and updates throughout the process, we work closely with you to develop the best solution for your property and your business.
What are some symptoms of odor damage?
- Coughing
- Wheezing
- Headaches
- Eye, nose, throat, or lung irritation
- Feeling dizzy or nauseous
What are your odor removal techniques?
We use a range of advanced deodorization tools to eliminate odor, including:
- Air Scrubbers – Using high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters, they remove odorous particles from the air, enhancing the efficiency of cleaning and clearing the air for safe breathing.
- Thermal Fog – Use of thermal fog neutralizes odor, using a strong deodorizer that penetrates everywhere the smoke traveled.
- Ozone – This oxidizing agent is produced by a portable ozone generator.
- Hydroxyl Generators – Hydroxyl machines use hydroxyl radicals to eliminate odors from the affected property.
- Absorption Agents – These trap and remove odor molecules from the air and surfaces.
What causes bad odors?
The odor removal experts at ServiceMaster Restoration by David are equipped to fully assess and safely eliminate odors caused by:
Fire & Smoke
In the event of a commercial fire, smoke, soot, and associated odors can linger long after the flames are extinguished. While restoring your property, employees and customers could be breathing harmful smoke particles in addition to dealing with the stench. Smoke and soot residue can also cause interior and exterior damage to your building. Wildfire smoke can seep into drywall, wood, and textiles, and fine, toxic soot can coat and damage a range of materials, leading to stains, residue, and permeating odors that require professional smoke odor removal services.
Water & Mold
Where there are pipes, there is always an opportunity for leakage, water damage, and mold growth. Commercial properties in areas prone to natural flooding events like hurricanes and heavy storms are also at high risk. Without immediate remediation, floods and leaks can damage the structure and foundation of your building, cause a persistent mildew smell, and encourage the growth of potentially dangerous mold spores.
Sewage & Biological Sources
A sewage backup in a commercial facility is a serious health hazard that demands immediate attention. The bacteria-ridden waste material and its accompanying stench must be removed as quickly as possible to protect employees, customers, and visitors from exposure to harmful pathogens.
These unsavory smells create an invisible threat with the ability to disrupt your operations and negatively impact the health of everyone in your facility. At ServiceMaster Restoration by David, we have the professional products, systems, and specialty equipment to remove a wide range of odors and the contaminants that cause them so your business can get back to normal.
Chemical & Industrial Odors
Commercial properties can be affected by strong chemical or industrial odors resulting from spills, equipment failures, or contamination events. These odors can permeate walls, flooring, HVAC systems, and structural materials, making them difficult to eliminate without professional intervention. ServiceMaster Restoration by David uses advanced deodorization techniques to identify the source, neutralize the odor at a molecular level, and restore clean air quality throughout your facility.
Cigarette Smoke
Cigarette smoke poses a particularly persistent odor problem for commercial indoor environments. It adheres to surfaces like walls, carpets, and furniture and can seep into HVAC systems and ductwork, spreading the odor throughout the entire facility. Over time, this can lead to the formation of a yellowish-brown film on walls and ceilings. The compounds in cigarette smoke also pose health risks, as they contain numerous toxic chemicals including carcinogens. Eliminating cigarette smoke odor in a commercial setting requires specialized cleaning methods, surface treatments, and thorough ventilation to ensure a fresh and healthy environment for employees and customers.
