Removing the Sewage Smell
4 Principles of Odor Control
- Remove the source
- Clean the source area
- Increase the temperature
- Penetration
- Cleaning

What are pairing agents?
This is a fancy way to say deodorizer. A deodorizer actually will change the molecular structure of the odor and neutralize it. Different deodorizers will be needed for each type of emergency. Masking an odor will only temporarily hide the odor, it will come back. Odor will be more prevalent when it is warmer and more humid.

What is a Hydroxyl Generator?
Hydroxyls are made by air passing over a 3 optic ultra violet light. These molecules will attach to odor molecules and neutralize the odor. Hydroxyls will also sanitize the air. Cruise ships and hospitals use these all of the time. It is 99.9% effective in killing the H1N1 virus! Insurance companies love them because they are extremely effective in deodorization and are safe to be in the home while they are running. No hotel room may be required!

How does Ozone Neutralize Odor?
Ozone is extremely effective in neutralizing odor. Ozone is actually O3, which is a chemically unstable molecule and wants to get back to O2. The extra molecule will bind with the odor particles and therefore neutralize the odor.
PRO TIP: Do NOT allow a contractor to use ozone to deodorize when people, pets or plants are in the home. They should not use it when there is furniture in the area because it will eat away at any foam cushioning. These machines are typically used in “Ozone Rooms” for specific applications.

What are Deodorizing Crystals?
Odor absorbing crystals attract odors within a room and usually also have a fragrance smell to give you a perceived sense of a deodorized room. These are usually used with one or more other techniques.
