Odor Removal & Deodorization in Charlotte
In Charlotte's older homes and farm buildings, odor from a death, animals or septic problems can soak into wood, plaster and soil. We find the source, remove it, and then clean and treat what remains.
A lingering odor usually means contamination is still present somewhere in the structure or furnishings. We locate it, remove what cannot be saved, and use deodorizing equipment only after the source is gone.
Local considerations in Charlotte
- Per EPA, ozone only masks odor in empty spaces and does not disinfect.
- Odor in crawl spaces may require soil or vapor barrier removal.
- If septic or plumbing is the cause, we refer you to the right contractor.
Practical notes for Charlotte
In and around Charlotte, odors that will not go away usually come from something physical: a raccoon or opossum that crawled under the house and died, a septic leak, pet urine in carpet and subfloor, years of smoke in an older farmhouse, or an unattended death. In buildings on the square, shared walls and old ductwork can carry a smell from one space to another, which makes finding the source harder and means the cause may sit in a neighbor's space rather than yours.
We investigate first, remove the source and any materials holding the smell, and then clean and treat what is left. EPA's position is that ozone generators should not run where people are present, can at most cover up smells, and do not disinfect, so we rely on source removal and use such tools rarely. See smoke odor removal and decomposition odor removal. Septic, plumbing and HVAC repairs are handled by the right trade.
