After water intrusion, odors often linger in porous materials like drywall, insulation, and subfloors long after visible moisture is gone. Our crews use moisture meters and thermal imaging to locate hidden pockets that standard drying misses, then apply EPA-registered antimicrobials and air movers sized for Spokane home construction. Skipping this step lets bacteria continue breaking down organic matter and releasing volatile compounds into living spaces.
We deploy a combination of hydroxyl generators and activated carbon filtration rather than ozone alone because many Spokane properties have attached garages or shared HVAC systems where ozone can migrate. Treatment times are calculated by cubic footage and material type, with follow-up air sampling to confirm reduction below detectable thresholds. Homeowners receive a written log of equipment placement and readings for their records.
Edge cases include odors trapped behind tile in older Spokane basements or in crawl spaces with limited access. We remove and dispose of saturated insulation, then seal remaining surfaces with odor-blocking primers before reinstallation. This prevents recontamination when seasonal temperature swings increase indoor humidity.
All work follows IICRC S500 standards for water damage restoration and is performed during our posted hours so residents can plan around the process without surprise visits.
Odor Removal Services We Offer
✓Sewage Odor Extraction
Removes hydrogen sulfide and organic decay smells from Category 3 water events using extraction wands and sealed containment to protect unaffected areas.
✓Mold Smell Remediation
Targets musty odors caused by hidden mold growth after leaks, combining source removal with antimicrobial fogging and HEPA air scrubbing.
✓Basement Odor Neutralization
Addresses trapped moisture smells in Spokane basements by drying cavities and applying vapor barrier coatings that block future odor migration.
✓Carpet and Pad Odor Treatment
Extracts contaminated water from carpet and padding then applies enzyme cleaners that break down odor-causing proteins at the molecular level.
✓HVAC Odor Sanitization
Cleans ducts and coils that have circulated musty air after water events, restoring fresh airflow without spreading spores through the home.
✓Drywall Cavity Odor Cleanup
Opens and treats wall cavities where water has wicked upward, removing saturated material and treating studs before reconstruction.

How it works
- 1
Detailed Odor Source Mapping
Technicians inspect with meters and scopes to identify every material holding residual moisture or contaminants.
- 2
Contaminated Material Removal
Porous items that cannot be salvaged are bagged and hauled away to prevent re-release of odors.
- 3
Targeted Treatment Application
Antimicrobial and odor-neutralizing agents are applied via fogging or direct contact followed by air circulation.
- 4
Verification And Clearance
Air quality readings and sensory checks confirm odors are gone before equipment is removed.
Pricing
Pricing depends on the size of the affected area, the source of the odor, and whether structural materials must be removed.
