When an unpleasant smell lingers in your home or business, it’s more than just a nuisance—it could signal deeper problems. Whether it’s cigarette smoke, pet urine, or mildew from past water damage, masking the odor won’t solve the issue. True odor removal requires getting to the root cause.
What Causes Persistent Odors?
Odors often stem from porous surfaces that have absorbed contaminants over time. This includes drywall, carpet padding, upholstery, and even subflooring. For instance, cigarette smoke penetrates HVAC systems and walls, while pet urine seeps into carpet pads and wood. Until the source is fully removed or neutralized, the smell will linger—or worse, return.
Why DIY Doesn’t Work Long-Term
Air fresheners and over-the-counter sprays like Febreze temporarily mask odors. They don’t remove the bacteria or compounds causing them. In some cases, they make matters worse by mixing chemicals that create new, unpleasant smells.
Our Proven Approach
At All Dry Jacksonville, we start with a thorough inspection to locate the source of the odor. Once identified, we remove any contaminated materials—carpet, pad, insulation, or affected drywall. From there, we treat the air and remaining surfaces using chlorine dioxide gas and commercial ozone machines. These technologies chemically neutralize odor-causing molecules rather than just covering them up.
