Soot & Odor

Soot, Smoke Odor & Specialized Removal in Columbia, MD

The visible soot on Columbia, MD walls and ceilings is just a fraction of the contamination after a fire. If it isn't removed from all penetrated surfaces simultaneously, the smell returns within weeks and the invisible health risk persists indefinitely.

Smoke odor in a Columbia, MD property after a fire is a chemical contamination, not just a smell. Industrial ozone generation, hydroxyl machine treatment, and thermal fog application - used in combination - are the only way to fully neutralize smoke odor in a Columbia, MD property. If another contractor tried to handle your Columbia, MD smoke odor without industrial equipment and you're still smelling it - call us.

  • Ozone therapy that reaches smoke compounds in walls, floors, and hidden cavities of Columbia, MD homes
