SERVPRO’s 4-Step Odor Removal Process


Green number 1

Remove the Odor Source

Debris containing odor-causing residues will continue to give off odors. That’s why we deal with the source of the odor first.

Green number 2

Clean Residues From Surfaces

After the source of the odor is removed, it’s important to thoroughly clean surfaces to deodorize them effectively. If not properly cleaned, tiny particles of the odor-causing residues will continue to smell.

Green number 3

Recreate the Conditions That Caused Odor Penetration

We apply deodorizer in a method similar to how the odor-causing substances originally penetrated a surface. If smoke created the smell, for instance, deodorizing smoke or fog might be most effective. 

Green number 4

Seal Surfaces Exposed To Unpleasant Odors

Severe situations may require sealing if odor removal would be insufficient.

Removing persistent smells from your commercial property—office, warehouse, hospital, apartments, and more—can be quite a challenge. Unpleasant smells can drive customers away and make things difficult for employees. Getting rid of the odor, completely and quickly, can avoid interruption of your normal operations. 

Our uniquely trained professionals will work with you to get your company smelling fresh and back to business as quickly as possible, keeping downtime and lost revenue to a minimum.

customers are saying

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding Service – Thank You, Mike, Israel, and the Entire SERVPRO Team! When our home experienced unexpected water damage, it was an incredibly stressful and overwhelming situation for my family and me. Fortunately, we had Mike, Israel, and the entire SERVPRO team to guide us through the process from beginning to end. I cannot say enough about their professionalism, dedication, and outstanding work ethic. They were there working every day, making sure everything was taken care of and done right. What truly stood out was their commitment, attention to detail, and genuine care for our home. Beyond the physical work, Mike and Israel also helped guide me through the insurance process, explaining what to expect and making an already stressful situation much easier to navigate. From the initial water damage remediation to the final repairs and restoration, SERVPRO handled everything. They truly provided a one-stop shop experience. The final result was absolutely amazing. Looking at our home today, it’s truly as if nothing ever happened. You would never know we had experienced water damage. That speaks volumes about the quality of their work and the pride they take in what they do. Mike and Israel, thank you for your leadership, patience, and dedication. Please extend our sincere appreciation to the entire crew. My family and I are extremely grateful for everything you did to restore our home and give us peace of mind. I wholeheartedly recommend SERVPRO to anyone facing water damage or a home restoration emergency. From start to finish, they exceeded our expectations. A truly professional, reliable, and hardworking team that delivers results!

Was trying to get ahold of anyone to find out about issues going on with a restoration next door to me. Servpro Santee wasn't responsible but Shannon answered the phone and did her best to help which was appreciated. If you were to use any Servpro in San Diego this is the only one that will answer the phone with great customer service.

We had Scott come out for a leaking toilet in our crawlspace. Upon inspection after the leak was repaired Scott notified us that everything looked good, he still sprayed antimicrobial spray but didn’t try pretend like there was a bunch of work that needed to be performed. It’s nice that in this day and age there’s still good guys out there that aren’t trying to take advantage.

This is second time using this company and they are by far the most reliable, professional, fast, responsive and respectful of your home and property.

I can’t say enough good things about Servpro of Santee and Lakeside. After a flood in my home, they handled everything from the initial cleanup through full restoration, and the entire process was smooth, professional, and stress-free. From day one, their team was responsive, easy to work with, and extremely knowledgeable. They showed up when they said they would, explained each step of the process clearly, and followed through on everything they committed to. Communication was excellent throughout, which made a stressful situation much easier to manage. The cleanup was thorough and efficient, and the restoration work brought my home back to looking like it was brand new. The quality of workmanship and attention to detail really stood out. If you’re dealing with water damage or need restoration services, I highly recommend Servpro of Santee and Lakeside. They truly take care of you from beginning to end.
