Completion date: April 9, 2025

Location: Montville, NJ

Solutions provided:

Debbie H. of Montville, NJ experienced a severe skunk odor issue after a skunk sprayed near her home’s foundation vent, allowing the pungent odor to infiltrate the entire house. The incident occurred during the early morning hours when the startled animal discharged its spray directly into a crawl space vent. Within hours, the intense smell had permeated the HVAC system, spreading to all living areas and making the indoor air quality unbearable. Debbie contacted our team for professional skunk odor remediation, as household cleaners proved ineffective. Our Montville, NJ odor control specialists arrived promptly to assess the extent of the contamination.

We began by sealing off the crawl space and using negative air machines with carbon filtration to capture airborne odor particles. The Montville, NJ cleanup process involved cleaning and deodorizing the affected HVAC system, subflooring, and wall cavities. Our team applied thermal fogging and hydroxyl generators throughout the home to neutralize the skunk odor at a molecular level. Soft contents and upholstery were also treated or removed, depending on the saturation level. The homeowner’s insurance covered the skunk spray cleanup due to the sudden and accidental nature of the contamination. This skunk odor remediation project in Montville, NJ restored the home's air quality and underscored the need for professional intervention when wildlife odors impact indoor environments.
