How do you remove smoke odor from a house?
Smoke odor removal involves washing smoke residue from walls, ceilings, trim and hard surfaces, cleaning or replacing porous items like carpet and upholstery, cleaning HVAC components and replacing filters, sealing surfaces with an odor-blocking primer before painting, and deodorizing the air with equipment such as hydroxyl generators or ozone in unoccupied spaces.
Smoke gets everywhere
Years of cigarette smoke leave a sticky, yellow film on walls, ceilings, cabinets and windows, and the odor lives in carpet, pad and insulation. Small kitchen or electrical fires leave soot and odor far beyond the burned area.
Painting over it does not work. The odor bleeds through. We remove residue first, then seal and deodorize. For drug smoke, see our meth residue and smoke cleanup service.
