local_fire_department

Fire & Smoke Odor

Smoke particles embed in porous materials throughout the home, requiring industrial-grade treatment to fully eliminate.

pets

Pet Odor

Urine soaks into subfloor and padding. Surface cleaning alone won't reach the source — professional extraction is needed.

plumbing

Sewage & Drain Odor

Sewage contamination leaves persistent biological odors that require antimicrobial treatment and source removal.

coronavirus

Mold & Mildew Odor

Musty odors indicate active mold growth. Odor removal must be combined with mold remediation to be permanent.

biotech

Frequently Asked Questions — Odor Removal in Upper Arlington

Upper Arlington-Specific Questions

Our 1950s Tremont home has smoke odor in the wall cavities from decades of indoor smoking — can it really be removed? +
Yes — but 1950s Upper Arlington walls in Tremont and Country Club need cavity treatment, not just surface ozone. We drill discreet treatment ports between studs, inject thermal fog with a smoke-specific deodorizer that follows the same path nicotine vapor took, then run whole-home ozone for 36–48 hours with the original HVAC ductwork active. We also replace filters and clean return registers where nicotine residue accumulates.
We just bought a Country Club home with original 1940s clay-tile sewer laterals and there's persistent sewer gas in the basement — what's the fix? +
Sewer gas in Upper Arlington's 1940s–1960s homes usually comes from deteriorated clay-tile lateral joints, dried-out P-traps in unused basement drains, or cracks in cast-iron stacks. We diagnose the source first (smoke test or camera inspection), repair the gas pathway, then treat the embedded odor with hydroxyl for 48 hours. Treating without source repair just delays the recurrence — Ohio plumbing code requires the lateral to be sealed properly first.
Our basement in South of Lane has decades of musty odor from the original stone foundation — is that even treatable? +
Mid-century Upper Arlington basements with original stone or block foundations hold moisture in the porous mineral surface, feeding low-level mold and producing chronic MVOC odor. We don't try to dry stone to wood-framing levels — instead, we apply a breathable cementitious sealer to the foundation, antimicrobial-treat any visible growth, then run hydroxyl for 72 hours. This addresses the smell without trapping moisture that would damage the foundation long-term.

General Odor Removal Questions

Can you remove smoke odor from my Upper Arlington home? +
Yes, we specialize in smoke odor removal using industrial ozone generators and thermal fogging that penetrate walls, fabrics, and HVAC systems to destroy odor molecules completely.
How long does professional odor removal take? +
Most residential odor treatments take 1–3 days. Severe smoke or biohazard odors may require multiple treatment cycles over 3–5 days.
Why don't air fresheners or home remedies work? +
Consumer products mask odors temporarily. Professional equipment generates ozone or hydroxyl radicals that chemically break down odor molecules, permanently eliminating them rather than covering them up.
What types of odors can you remove? +
We eliminate all types including smoke, fire, pet, sewage, mold/mildew, cooking, chemical, and biohazard odors. Each type requires specific treatment methods and equipment.
Is ozone treatment safe? +
Ozone treatment is extremely effective but the space must be unoccupied during treatment. We ensure proper ventilation and clearance before anyone re-enters. We also offer hydroxyl treatment which is safe for occupied spaces.
