  • Industrial soot removal from all walls, ceilings, floors, and structural surfaces

Soot & Odor

Soot, Smoke Odor & Specialized Removal in Columbus, TX

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

Smoke odor compounds are volatile organic molecules that bond to porous materials throughout the structure. 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, TX property. If another contractor tried to handle your Columbus, TX smoke odor without industrial equipment and you're still smelling it - call us.

  • Ozone therapy that reaches smoke compounds in walls, floors, and hidden cavities of Columbus, TX homes
  • Hydroxyl technology that works continuously in occupied spaces across Columbus, TX
  • Thermal fogging to penetrate wall voids and subfloor areas in Columbus, TX structures
