How do professionals eliminate water damage and mold odors?
Professional odor removal uses ozone generators, hydroxyl machines, and thermal fogging to neutralize odor compounds at the molecular level — not just mask them.
- •Ozone treatment breaks down odor molecules (VOCs, MVOCs) at the molecular level
- •Hydroxyl generators are safe to use in occupied spaces unlike ozone
- •Thermal fogging penetrates porous surfaces at the same depth as odor-causing compounds
- •HEPA air scrubbers with activated carbon filters remove airborne particles and gases
- •Consumer air fresheners and sprays do not eliminate odors — they mask them temporarily
- •Odor removal is included in Water Damage Champ restoration projects at no additional charge
