Comprehensive Solutions Remove Odors in Salida Premises

Salida, CO, has a vibrant arts scene, outdoor recreation, and historic character. It's known as the Heart of the Rockies, where you can enjoy unlimited outdoor fun hiking the Monarch Crest Trail, rafting and kayaking the Arkansas River, or winter sports at the Monarch Mountain Ski Resort. If you love art, you can explore local galleries or attend events like Gallery Walks or Salida Arts Festival. Craft beer at facilities like Soulcraft Brewing offers a chance to enjoy the taste of local brewing techniques.

Water damage in Salida facilities can leave unpleasant odors that discourage customer visits or create unnecessary discomfort for staff. Smells develop from mold, standing water or contaminants dissolved in the water. Managing odors takes more than cleaning since some are deeply embedded within materials, and some odor sources, like mold, worsen over time. SERVPRO® develops sound odor management to restore normalcy.

Essential steps to defeat odor

• Prompt water removal and drying
• Antimicrobial treatment
• Air filtration or purification
• Deep cleaning

You can only address odors if the water intruding on your property is gone. SERVPRO crews bring a variety of water extraction equipment when called to resolve water-related incidents. Pumps, water extractors, and cavity drying equipment take care of different moisture situations, allowing odor control to proceed unhinged.

Treating Odors

Deep cleaning is necessary for porous materials such as cabinets to remove odor molecules trapped within the fibers. Applying antimicrobial products beneath carpets, drywall, and HVAC systems where mold and bacteria proliferation are likely halts such contamination and eliminates odors. SERVPRO technicians use effective application approaches, such as ULV misting, for widespread coverage.

Air filtration and purification are essential in concluding odor management since they remove aerosols and particulate matter suspended in the air. Air scrubbers with HEPA filters are ideal for this step. Other processes, like using activated carbon filters, enhance the process further since odor molecules passing through the filters chemically bond with the carbon, neutralizing smells.
