The process for professional odor elimination by Bio-Tec Emergency Services, LLC, goes beyond masking smells by targeting and neutralizing odor-causing molecules at their source.

 

While the specific techniques can vary depending on the source and severity of the odor, the process generally follows these steps. 

 

 

Step 1: Odor assessment and source identification The first and most critical step is for technicians to identify the precise source of the odor. Odors are often caused by microscopic organic compounds from sources like mold, bacteria, or smoke residue. 

• Advanced tools: Professionals use specialized equipment to locate hidden sources of contamination. This can include moisture meters, thermal cameras, and black lights to detect things like pet urine stains.
• HVAC inspection: Persistent smells can circulate through a property via the HVAC system. Technicians will often inspect and clean air ducts, filters, and other system components to prevent the odor from spreading. 

 

Step 2: Source removal and material cleaning Once the source of the odor is located, it must be removed. Merely cleaning a surface will not eliminate an odor if the original source of contamination remains. 

• Deep cleaning: Industry-approved, professional-grade cleaners are used to neutralize bacteria and residues.Enzyme-based cleaners break down organic matter like urine.
• Alkaline cleansers are used for smoke-damaged surfaces.
• Antimicrobial agents kill mold.
• Material removal: In severe cases, porous materials that have fully absorbed the odor—such as drywall, carpet padding, or insulation may need to be removed and replaced entirely.
• HEPA vacuuming: High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters are used to thoroughly remove dust, debris, and airborne contaminants. 

 

Step 3: Advanced deodorization techniques After the initial source and contamination are removed, professionals use specialized equipment to destroy any remaining odor molecules. 

• Ozone treatment: Ozone (O3) is a powerful oxidizing agent that breaks down odor molecules and is highly effective for severe smoke, pet, and biological odors. This process is performed in an unoccupied space for safety.
• Hydroxyl generators: These machines produce hydroxyl radicals, a safer, naturally occurring molecule that can neutralize odors in occupied spaces.
• Thermal fogging: This method uses heat to create a fine mist of a deodorizing agent that can penetrate deeply into materials and hard-to-reach areas, like air ducts, to neutralize odors at their source. 

 

Step 4: Post-treatment and verification A final walkthrough and inspection are conducted to ensure the odor has been fully eliminated.

• Final checks: Technicians perform air quality and "sniff tests" to confirm the success of the treatment.
• Follow-up advice: The professional will provide guidance to help prevent future odor problems.
