How Is Decomposition Odor Treated?

Why the odor persists, and what actually has to happen for it to improve.

Odor follows the source

Decomposition odor comes from contaminated material. Air treatment alone will not resolve it while saturated flooring, subfloor or furnishings remain in place.

Removal, then treatment

Affected materials are removed, surfaces are cleaned and disinfected, substrates are sealed where appropriate, and the air and remaining surfaces are treated.

Realistic expectations

Outcomes depend on duration and materials involved. We do not guarantee complete odor removal in every situation.
