The smell is still there because the source is still there. Mr. Local Services performs odor removal and sanitization that treats trapped contamination inside porous materials, not just the air above it. We have handled this work since 2001, our technicians hold IICRC odor control certification, and every job carries a written odor-free guarantee.

Who They're For and What They Solve
Odor removal and sanitization is a two-part restoration process. Odor removal targets the molecules causing the smell, breaking them down inside porous materials where they settle. Sanitization applies EPA-registered antimicrobials to kill bacteria, mold spores, and pathogens left behind on surfaces after water intrusion or contamination.
Property owners need this service once water extraction and drying are finished but the smell remains. Sewage backups, flooded basements, saturated carpet padding, and mold growth behind drywall all leave contamination that standard cleaning cannot reach. Landlords and business owners also request it before tenants or staff return to a treated property.
Untreated, the odor signals living microbial activity that keeps producing gas as it feeds on damp organic material. It spreads through ductwork, absorbs into insulation and framing, and intensifies with heat and humidity. Left long enough, materials that could have been salvaged require full demolition and replacement instead.
Is It Time?
Most people call us with one of these four situations.
Our Services
We handle every stage of odor and contamination control, from airborne molecular treatment through physical source removal.
We deploy hydroxyl generators or ozone equipment to destroy odor molecules in the air and on exposed surfaces. Hydroxyl is safe for occupied spaces and runs longer. Ozone works faster in vacated properties. Either way, the odor is broken down rather than covered.
Thermal fogging heats a deodorizing compound into a dense vapor that follows the same path the original odor traveled. It penetrates upholstery, insulation, wall cavities, and framing. This is our approach when smells have soaked into porous materials that cannot be removed.
We apply EPA-registered antimicrobials to floors, walls, framing, and contents to kill bacteria, viruses, and mold spores at contact level. Application is documented and dwell times are observed. This step makes a property genuinely safe to reoccupy, not just pleasant smelling.
Some materials cannot be saved. Sewage-soaked carpet padding, saturated drywall, and colonized insulation get cut out, bagged, and disposed of under proper handling protocols. Removing the source is always faster and cheaper than repeatedly treating around it.
Not sure which approach your situation needs? We assess first and recommend only what’s necessary, no upsells.
Why Homeowners Choose Mr. Local Services
Our crews hold OCT, WRT, and AMRT certifications through the IICRC. That means trained diagnosis of odor sources, not guesswork, and correct equipment selection for each material type.
If odor returns within 30 days of completion, we re-treat at no charge. The guarantee is written into your paperwork before we begin, not promised verbally.
We record moisture levels and surface conditions before and after treatment, then hand you the readings. You get proof the sanitization worked instead of taking our word for it.
You receive a written estimate listing every treatment, material, and piece of equipment. Nothing gets added without your written approval.
How It Works
Call 951-458-6466 and we schedule an assessment the same day in most cases. We identify the odor source and check moisture readings throughout.
You get an itemized estimate naming each treatment method, the equipment required, and a realistic completion window. Nothing starts until you approve it.
We remove contaminated materials, run molecular odor treatment, and apply antimicrobials to all affected surfaces. Most jobs take one to three days depending on saturation.
We retest moisture levels, confirm odor elimination, and provide documented readings. Your 30-day odor-free guarantee starts at sign-off.
Pricing
We publish real numbers because vague pricing helps nobody. Most odor removal and sanitization jobs land between $600 and $3,200.
Cost factors: the square footage affected, whether contamination was clean water or sewage, how many porous materials absorbed odor, whether ductwork requires treatment, and how long the odor sat before treatment began.
A single affected room with light musty odor typically runs $600 to $1,100. A sewage-contaminated basement requiring material removal, fogging, and full sanitization generally runs $1,800 to $3,200. Assessments and written estimates are free. Call 951-458-6466 for a firm number on your property.
Most jobs finish in one to three days. Heavy sewage contamination with material removal can extend to five days depending on drying requirements.
Deodorizing addresses the smell. Sanitizing kills the bacteria and mold producing it. We do both, because deodorizing alone always fails eventually.
No. Ozone requires a vacated space. We use hydroxyl generators instead when the property must stay occupied during treatment.
Yes. Every job carries a written 30-day odor-free guarantee with free re-treatment if the smell comes back.
Odor removal following a covered water loss is frequently included. We provide documentation and readings that support your claim submission.
Odor often traces back to active colonies inside walls, and our professional mold remediation how we contain and remove growth so the treatment holds permanently.
Same-day assessments are standard and emergency crews run 24/7. Call 951-458-6466 and we schedule immediately.
Every day the odor sits, contamination pushes deeper into materials you would rather keep. Call now for a free same-day assessment and a written estimate before anything begins.
