Why it comes back

Humidity as an early sign

Odor persists because the compounds causing it sit inside porous material: plaster, framing, subfloor, carpet backing, textiles. In older Frankfort houses there is a great deal more porous material than in a modern build, and it has been absorbing for a century.

If a treatment appeared to work and then failed in July, it was working on the air rather than on the material. Humidity reactivates residue that never left, which is why summer is when we get most of these calls.

What we treat

Common sources

Smoke and soot

After a fire, and the hardest of these to resolve properly.

Mold and mildew

The musty note that arrives weeks before anything is visible.

Sewage and drain backup

Where the smell means contamination is still present.

Animal and pet urine

Once it reaches subfloor this becomes a removal job.

Long vacancy

Properties closed up for months, including between tenants.

Protein and cooking residue

Kitchen fires leave a residue unlike any other smoke.

Method

The order the work runs in

01

Find what is holding it

The smell is downstream of a material. Until we know which one, nothing else is worth doing.

02

Remove what cannot be cleaned

Usually the step that actually resolves it.

03

Clean what stays

Agent matched to the residue type.

04

Treat the porous material

Professional deodorizers and cleaning agents applied to the material itself rather than sprayed into a room.

05

Seal what cannot be reached

So framing and subfloor stop re-emitting.

I cannot say enough great things about this company. Let me first start with timely prompt service and courteous staff. They made me feel at ease from start to finish. If you have any mold, water, or restoration issues, this is the team you want to use.
