If your living space has suffered from fire or water damage, there are always after-effects that serve to remind you of loss. Odors cling to belongings, especially soft goods, and it can take special services to properly restore the items and remove the smell. Soil-Away can help with removing odors. With our certified technicians and state-of-the-art equipment, we can eliminate odors from property and belongings. We also dispose of any unsalvageable belongings so you don’t have to. 

In the wake of a fire, we’ll wash and treat all structural surfaces in the affected areas. This will dissolve smoky residue from the pores of most surfaces, which is a common cause of lingering odors. Salvageable appliances, flooring, and other surviving contents are thoroughly cleaned and restored so you can get back to using them. 

We can remediate the smoke and odor problems, no matter what the property layout is. This includes single- and multi-family housing, commercial properties, and other occupied spots. It doesn’t matter what the size of the fire or storm was. Soil Away always has a plan of action, one perfectly customized to your specific needs. 

First, we follow restoration guidelines to evaluate the condition of your structure and possessions. Next, we determine what to do to remove any unwanted odors or remnants of the disaster. Once the assessment is completed, we turn that information into a viable action plan – one that solves your problems.

Complete and Thorough with Odor Removal

Since we provide thorough services, we use HEPA vacuums to remove unwanted particles from surfaces. Simultaneously, our HEPA air scrubbers clean the air capturing unwanted contaminants floating throughout the space. This process maximizes cleaning results and minimizes cross contamination.

If necessary, we will also use baking soda or dry-ice blasting for extreme cases where the odors fight to stick around. Our Esporta Wash System can sanitize soft contents like bedding, clothing, and curtains.

Our restoration techs use a combination of innovative technology and powerful cleaning products to give you fast but complete results. Whenever odors show no sign of leaving, let a full-service emergency restoration service remove them from your property, clothes, and other belongings. After we’re done, you won’t be able to detect any evidence of a fire or flood.

Your HVAC air duct system is a hidden area of your home that makes a big difference. Smoke can get into your system and pollute your air for a long time. What you need is professional odor removal equipment to pull the pollutants out. Soot, dust from the fire, and mold spores could also be making your HVAC their home. All of these particles will come out in your heat and AC, bringing their odor and potentially affecting your health. For your health, it is important to have your HVAC air duct system cleaned after a fire.

Trapped Odor in Flooring and Carpets

Carpets and flooring that survived the fire may not have come out without fire damage. Carpets and even other types of flooring are very absorbent and can soak up the fire smell. Removing the fire odor from flooring and carpets requires special equipment. This equipment penetrates the layers of carpet and flooring and cleans it out from the inside. It isn’t enough to clean the soot off of the top of your flooring because you can be left with residual smoke odors.
