Odor Removal

Most odors are just a temporary annoyance, but some odors can be so strong and lasting that they can render a home, building or car uninhabitable until the odor has been removed. There is no need to just "live with it" until the odor eventually goes away when in most cases W.E.T. can remove the odor for you. The first thing to determine is the source of the odor. Even if an odor has been neutralized, the source must be removed or the odor will continue to return. While there are obviously many possible causes of strong odors, a few of the more common causes are skunk spray and decaying animal carcasses. Even a deceased mouse in a wall cavity can cause an unpleasant odor for several weeks.

It is important to understand the difference between “masking agents” and “pairing agents.”
A masking agent, such as a basic air freshener, simply covers the odor with another more pleasant odor. This is a very short term solution with limited effectiveness. As soon as the masking agent dissipates, the odor will return.

To completely remove the odor, the source of the odor must be removed, then the odor molecules must be removed or neutralized by means of a “pairing agent.” Rather than merely masking the odor, a pairing agent actually bonds with the odor molecule, changing its chemical structure and thus completely neutralizing the odor at the molecular level.

	Depending on the nature and location of the odor, the equipment we utilize includes Odor Neutralizers, Ozone Generators and Thermal Foggers,
