Soot & Odor

Soot, Smoke Odor & Specialized Removal in Columbus, MN

The visible soot on Columbus, MN walls and ceilings is just a fraction of the contamination after a fire. Partial soot removal always fails - Columbus, MN property owners who've had one company try and fail know this firsthand.

Industrial ozone generation, hydroxyl machine treatment, and thermal fog application - used in combination - are the only way to fully neutralize smoke odor in a Columbus, MN property. Air fresheners, candles, and single-pass fogger treatments do not eliminate smoke odor. They mask it temporarily while the underlying contamination continues.

  • Hydroxyl machine treatment - safe for occupied areas during ongoing remediation
  • Thermal fogging to penetrate wall voids and subfloor areas in Columbus, MN structures
