Job completed for Greg S. - Rockaway, NJ - Skunk Damage

Completion date: May 15, 2025

Location: Rockaway, NJ

Solutions provided:

Greg S. of Rockaway, NJ contacted us after a skunk sprayed directly beneath his back deck, and the noxious odor quickly spread throughout the home. The skunk had likely been startled by a dog in the yard and discharged its spray into a basement window well. Within minutes, the powerful stench seeped into the home’s ventilation system, contaminating carpets, furniture, and wall insulation. The smell was strongest in the lower level, but it soon affected the entire house, requiring comprehensive odor remediation. Our Rockaway, NJ odor removal team responded the same day to assess the damage and begin the deodorization process.

Our technicians in Rockaway, NJ used thermal fogging to penetrate porous surfaces and break down the odor-causing compounds at their source. We also deployed air scrubbers and hydroxyl generators to purify the indoor air. In affected areas, insulation was removed and replaced, and carpets were treated with enzyme-based neutralizers to lift skunk spray residue. The HVAC system was thoroughly cleaned to prevent recirculation of skunk odor throughout the house. Greg’s insurance covered the skunk odor remediation, recognizing it as a sudden and accidental contamination event. This Rockaway, NJ job highlights the challenges of skunk spray infiltration and the need for specialized odor control solutions.
