How to remove house odors and vehicle odors in Massachusetts - Biohazard PRO
Looking to increase the value of your home or vehicle? Does either one contain pungent smells caused by death, pets, or smoke? Biohazard PRO are professional forensic cleaners out of Boston, Massachusetts that have mastered the art of making the worst smells disappear naturally. They say the secret is in their method; odor removal is a multi-stage process that cannot be totally achieved by only accomplishing one of the steps. Odors are also invisible, so you have to know where to find the source of the odor and eliminate that first. Sometimes that's a process in of itself.
They use a few noteworthy methods such as ozone shock treatment and thermal fogging. Both if done correctly will naturally destroy all odors in your home or vehicle. Ozone is O3 gas which is the same thing that thunderstorms create after lightning has struck. Ever notice how it smells clean after? This is the most natural decontamination and odor process there is. Special commercial ozone generators are used to replicate the process that happens during a thunderstorm, and it works! After the ozone odor removal, adding an additional thermal fogging process will make the odor removal a successful and great smelling effort.
What are some of the things that are involved in the odor removal of death, pets, and smoke? Sometimes it is removing all biohazards caused by an unattended death. Other times it is finding cat pee, dog pee, or spots where pets spend the most time to thoroughly extract all remnants from the area before shock treatments. And other times things like smoke odor involves washing walls and other large surfaces, sanding, sealing, and/or painting. Every job is different and here is a few examples of what Biohazard PRO has to say about their Massachusetts odor removal services:
"DEATH ODOR
Being that forensic cleaning is our specialty, we are really good at ridding any space of dangerous biohazards and the odors of a decomposing body. There is no odor more pungent and difficult to remove than the smell of death. This odor penetrates all porous materials as well as affecting areas like your HVAC system. This odor is also dangerous to treat for when the contamination becomes airborne, your health may be at severe risk. The only way to get rid of this smell is with a thorough biohazard remediation process. These services are covered under most insurance policies.
PET ODOR
Pets are not just pets, they're family. Unfortunately your furry family produces a few different kinds of odors. These include odors caused by urine, feces, vomit, and more commonly by the oils released from their skin and fur. Pouring disinfectant or over-the-counter pet stain products on to the soiled area is simply not good enough. Not even regular carpet cleaning will do the trick. These methods may not break down the salts and crystals that make up the remnants producing the odor, and they can remain in the carpet, padding, and/or sub-flooring. Specialized treatment, extraction, O3 shock treatment, and thermal fogging may be required for successful results.
SMOKE ODOR
Smoke odor is caused by a few different ways. Whether the smoke was caused by fire, cigarettes, or cooking, we can get rid of the smell. First the smoke needs to be cleaned off all surfaces it has made contact with. In some cases, sanding, sealing, and/or painting entire surfaces are necessary. After, we finish by pumping massive amounts of O3 gas in to the affected area with commercial ozone generators. An additional step of thermal fogging may be appropriate for final touches. Smoke damage caused by fires are covered under home or business insurance policies most of the time."
Other companies like Las Vegas Rapid Responders (Nevada 866-361-3223) can perform the same odor removal and crime scene clean up services like Biohazard PRO (Boston, MA 617-869-4348).

Need Smoke Odor Removal? Here's what to do:
IICRC describes in this short passage what to immediately do in the event that you need smoke odor removal. Taking these simple steps will dramatically improve, if not fix, your odor problems:
"Professional smoke odor removal is important not only to eliminate unpleasant smells, but because lingering smoke can pose a health hazard. Exposure to particles caused by fires can be harmful to one’s health and should be dealt with as soon as possible. There are a few steps homeowners can take while waiting for professional help.
- When it is safe to re-enter the house, circulate the air as much as possible. Open all windows and doors and use fans to ventilate the area.
- Mop floors and make sure everything dries thoroughly to prevent mold growth.
- Items made of brass and copper should be cleaned within 24 hours to prevent them from etching.
- Vacuum carpets to remove dirt and dust particles that trap unwanted smells.
To completely rid the house, one smoke odor removal process that is utilized is called thermal fogging, which is a procedure used by professional cleaners. Thermal fog is a process in which a fluid is vaporized and then condenses when it meets a cooler atmosphere temperature. The particles that are created are extremely tiny and mimic particles created by fire, heat and pressure. This technique is one treatment that is proven to eliminate odors. Contact a certified professional to ask about the process and schedule it to be done as soon as possible.
