The story of our lives is written one day at a time. One success at a time. One failure at a time. One solitary moment at a time. Often, life’s defining moments happen without our knowledge.

Many people look at January and the New Year holiday as a time for a fresh start.

Large Loss Odor Removal: Q&A with Paul Davis National

Senior VP of Operations, J. Murphy, talks efficient, effective large loss odor removal.
February 25, 2018

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.

Why is Odor Removal So Tricky?

Why is Odor Removal So Tricky?

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.

It’s interesting how many topics related to restoration work come back to the necessity of understanding our clients. When you have a hoarding job, for example, it’s key to gain that person’s trust as quickly as possible.
