GTA Restoration specializes in odour removal services, whether it’s pet odor, chemical odour or smoke odor, utilizing an array of odour removal techniques. As fire restoration experts, we regularly deal with smoke odour left behind by a fire. Also, our mold removal and remediation services include the removal of musty odours that usually accompany mold growth. These same techniques can be used to remove pet and urine odour, cigarette/tobacco odours and musty smell and odour in basements or other areas in the house or property.

We use many different methods for removing odor from homes, residential or commercial properties:

Wet fogging is done by using a cold fogger that sprays very small particles of solution onto an affected surface in a controlled manner. The solution then disinfects and deodorizes. This can be applied to all surfaces and furnishings.

Thermal fogging is comparable to wet fogging but the product is dry which lets you have far less residue to the areas affected. In the case of a fire, thermal fogging is usually used in order to recreate the smoke pattern. The smoke pattern is simulated so that the product will travel the same way the smoke did and will deodorize all the surfaces while doing it.

When an area is not accessible or it does not make sense to clean or replace it, sealing would be used. Sealing masks odour by using a special sealant which seals the odour away.

When odors are trapped or still lingering after re-decorating, Ozone is used. Ozone removes the odour by breaking down the odour molecules, spores and bacteria that are causing the unpleasant smells. Ozone (03) is a very reactive molecule which reacts with particles in the air and on surfaces. By attaching itself to other molecules, it chemically changes their structure and creates non-offensive molecules, successfully removing the odour.

We recommend that any areas affected are decontaminated and cleaned by a certified restoration company in order to have successful odour removal.
