Odor Removal

RSS

In the first part of this series, basic information was offered regarding the causes of chemical sensitization and the impact that such an experience has on a person’s life. 

R&R recently chatted with Brian Bowen, co-owner of SERVPRO of Montgomery and several other locations, about a unique odor removal loss – and their unique, effective remediation approach. Here is what Brian had to say about the massive job, and what they learned in the process.

In mid-February, Odorox took part in Large Loss Mastery Training in Dallas, Texas.

Odor removal in general can be one of the trickier elements to any restoration project. When it comes to large loss, removing the smoke odor (for example) from a warehouse the size of Ikea is no easy feat. It takes a knowledgeable restoration company and the right equipment to get the job done the right way, so there is no residual odor – and the odor doesn’t return later.

Odor removal is arguably one of the trickiest elements of the restoration process. Most damage is visible to the eye, and when it’s properly remediated, there is no argument the job is done.

Chemical use is commonplace in restoration and remediation projects involving water damage and microbial growth. Disinfectants, antimicrobials and deodorizers are often sold in both ready-to-use and concentrate formulations. They can be extremely effective when used according to their product label.

“You mean you really don’t smell that? You’re just pulling my leg, right?!”
