Odor Removal After Flooding in Charlottesville, VA

Odor Removal After Flooding in Charlottesville, VA

If a property still smells after cleanup, something is still there. Odor is information rather than a nuisance to be covered.

Charlottesville, VA Flood Cleanup treats post-flood odor in Charlottesville, VA by locating remaining source material first. The usual hiding places are wall cavities behind uncut drywall, under sill plates, beneath cabinet bases, inside subfloor seams and in ductwork that carried contaminated air.

Once the source is gone, HEPA air scrubbers remove airborne particulate and hydroxyl generators break down odor compounds. Hydroxyl is safe to run in occupied spaces. Ozone is not, requires the building empty, and degrades rubber and some plastics, so we use it rarely and only in vacated structures.

Sealing is the last resort where odor has penetrated framing that cannot be removed.

Fragrance-based masking is not a service we offer. It hides the evidence that something was missed.
