- 24/7 Emergency Response
At Mr. Damage Rescue, our odor removal service finds what is actually causing the smell and removes it. Fourteen years of restoration work has taught us one thing: odor is never cosmetic. It is evidence. We treat the source, not the air.

Who It's For
Odor removal is the process of identifying and eliminating the material or contamination producing a smell, then neutralizing the odor molecules left behind. It is not fragrance spraying or air freshening. Real odor removal works at the molecular level, breaking down the compounds that carry the smell rather than covering them.
You need it when a smell survives normal cleaning. That happens after flooding, fires, sewage backups, and long-term moisture problems. Odor molecules soak into drywall, insulation, subflooring, carpet padding, and HVAC ducts. Surface cleaning never reaches them, so the smell returns within days.
The problem it solves is contamination you cannot see. A lingering odor usually means bacteria, mold, or smoke residue is still active inside your building materials. Left alone, that contamination keeps spreading, keeps degrading materials, and in many cases becomes a genuine air quality concern for anyone inside.
Our Services
If any of these sound familiar, the source is still in your building.
Not sure which phases your situation needs? We assess first and recommend only what is necessary — no upsells.
Odor sources expand. What is a single-room treatment this week often becomes a whole-floor job next month.
Our Services
We match the method to the source, the material, and whether people are living in the space.

Why Homeowners Choose Us
Licensed and IICRC-certified since 2001 — one crew, start to finish for Riverside-area homeowners.
If the odor returns after we finish, we come back and re-treat at no charge. We stand behind source removal because we do it correctly the first time.
We never spray over a problem. Every job starts with locating the contamination, and no treatment begins until we know exactly what is causing the smell.
Our crews hold Odor Control Technician certification plus Water Restoration and Fire & Smoke credentials. Fourteen years of field work backs every assessment we make.
You get a written price before we begin. No hourly surprises, no discovered extras, no revised invoices after the equipment is already running.
How It Works
Call 951-458-6466 and we schedule inspection the same day. We locate the source using moisture meters and thermal imaging, then explain exactly what we found.
You receive a flat written price and the specific method we recommend, with the reasoning. We confirm occupancy needs before choosing any treatment.
We extract or seal contaminated material first, then run the selected treatment for the required duration. Equipment stays monitored throughout.
We return after treatment to confirm the odor is gone. You get documentation for your records, plus our guarantee in writing.
Pricing
We publish real numbers because vague pricing wastes your time and ours.
Most single-room odor removal runs $400 to $1,200. Whole-home or severe contamination jobs typically fall between $1,500 and $4,500. Four factors move that number: the size of the affected area, whether contaminated material has to be removed, which treatment method the situation requires, and how long the odor has been developing.
Every quote is flat and written before work starts. Your inspection is free, and if insurance is involved we document everything they will ask for.
Single Wall

Frequently Asked Questions
Because cleaning removes surface odor while the source stays behind a wall or under flooring. Until that material is treated or removed, the smell returns.
Most jobs finish in one to three days. Hydroxyl treatment runs 24 to 72 hours; ozone is faster but requires the space to be empty.
Ozone is stronger but requires an unoccupied building. Hydroxyl is safe around people and pets but takes longer. We choose based on your occupancy.
Yes. Thermal fogging follows the exact path smoke traveled, reaching wall cavities and insulation that surface cleaning cannot touch.
It can be. Persistent musty or sewage odors usually indicate active microbial or bacterial contamination, which affects indoor air quality.
Often yes. Standing moisture will regenerate odor immediately, so our water extraction service handles removal and drying first when moisture is still present.
