Soot & Odor

Soot, Smoke Odor & Specialized Removal in Columbus, OH

The visible soot on Columbus, OH walls and ceilings is just a fraction of the contamination after a fire. Partial soot removal always fails - Columbus, OH property owners who've had one company try and fail know this firsthand.

Industrial ozone generation, hydroxyl machine treatment, and thermal fog application - used in combination - are the only way to fully neutralize smoke odor in a Columbus, OH property. If another contractor tried to handle your Columbus, OH smoke odor without industrial equipment and you're still smelling it - call us.
