Our Effective Odor Removal Techniques

  • Air Scrubbers – They use high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters to remove odorous particles from the air, enhancing the efficiency of cleaning and making the air safe for breathing.
  • Thermal Fog – This technique neutralizes odor, using a potent deodorizer that penetrates everywhere the smoke traveled.
  • Ozone – This oxidizing agent is produced by a portable ozone generator.
  • Hydroxyl Generators – They use hydroxyl radicals to eliminate odors from the home.

What Causes Unpleasant Odors In Your Yakima Home?

The odor removal experts at ServiceMaster Cleaning and Restoration by RBD - Yakima are equipped to assess and safely eliminate odors caused by:

Fire & Smoke

In the aftermath of a house fire, smoke, soot, and associated odors can linger long after the flames are extinguished. Smoke and soot residue from nearby wildfires can also cause interior and exterior damage to your Yakima home. Wildfire smoke can easily penetrate drywall, wood, and textiles, leading to stains, residue, and lingering odors that will require our expert smoke odor removal services.

Water & Mold

Pipes can sometimes leak, causing water damage and mold growth. If your Yakima home has experienced flooding, this can damage the structure and foundation of your home, cause a persistent mildew smell, and encourage the growth of potentially dangerous mold spores.

Sewage & Biological Sources

Sewage backups can emit a strong odor that you certainly don't want lingering in your Yakima home. When a sewage backup occurs, you need the bacteria-ridden waste material and its accompanying stench removed as soon as possible to prevent exposure to harmful pathogens.

Pet Odor

Pets can bring joy to your Yakima home, but they can also bring challenging odors. The scent from pet accidents can be stubborn and pervasive. Even with diligent cleaning, these odors can penetrate deep into carpets, upholstery, and other materials. To ensure a fresh-smelling home free from pet-related odors, specialized cleaning and deodorizing techniques may be necessary.

Cigarette Smoke

Cigarette smoke can be a persistent and challenging odor problem in your Yakima home. It can adhere to surfaces like walls, carpets, and furniture, and can also seep into the HVAC system and ductwork, spreading the odor throughout the entire house. Eliminating the smell of cigarette smoke requires specialized cleaning methods and thorough ventilation.
