Eliminate Odors at the Source
Persistent odors in your facility can drive away customers, affect employee morale, and create an unprofessional environment. At Total Building Maintenance, we don't just mask odors - we identify the source and eliminate them permanently using professional-grade equipment and techniques.
Whether you're dealing with smoke damage, mold, sewage backup, or mystery odors, our trained technicians can help restore your facility to a fresh, clean environment.
Smoke Odor
Fire and smoke damage, cigarette odors, cooking smoke. We treat walls, ceilings, HVAC systems, and soft furnishings to remove embedded smoke particles.
Mold and Mildew
Musty odors from moisture issues. After mold remediation, we eliminate lingering odors and treat affected areas to prevent return.
Food and Organic
Kitchen odors, spoiled food, garbage area smells. Deep cleaning plus odor neutralization for restaurants, breakrooms, and food service areas.
Sewage and Drain
Sewer gas, drain odors, restroom smells. We identify the source, clean affected areas, and treat to eliminate odors.
Our Odor Elimination Technology
We use professional-grade equipment that actually neutralizes odor molecules rather than just covering them with fragrance:
- Hydroxyl generators for occupied-space treatment
- Ozone treatment for unoccupied spaces (severe odors)
- Thermal fogging for smoke and fire damage
- Enzyme treatments for organic odors
- HEPA air scrubbing for airborne particles
Our Odor Removal Process
- Source Identification: We locate the source of the odor - treating symptoms without addressing the cause leads to odor return
- Source Removal: Clean or remove the source material (spoiled items, contaminated materials, etc.)
- Deep Cleaning: Thoroughly clean all affected surfaces to remove odor-causing residue
- Treatment: Apply appropriate odor neutralization technology based on odor type
- Verification: Confirm odor elimination and address any remaining concerns
- Prevention: Recommend steps to prevent odor recurrence
