Odor Removal in Toronto

Odor Removal Toronto

Odor removal becomes increasingly difficult if the source of the odor cannot be determined. Diffuse odor can permeate ductwork and HVAC systems. Fortunately, Believer Duct Cleaning provides odor removal and deodorization services in Toronto and its surrounding areas. Their service offering is based on the source and the specific part of the property that needs work.

We don't take for granted that each odor is in the ducts. The first thing that we address is the odor and figure out where the strongest smell is and whether the concern falls in our duct, ventilation, HVAC, or indoor air quality service scope.

What is Professional Odor Removal?

The focus of professional odor removal is finding the source of the odor and eliminating it, not masking the smell with fragrance like some services do. If the problem relates to the ducting or the ventilation system, then the cleaning of that part will form part of the job.

The approach has to be dependent on the origin and the situation. Believer Duct Cleaning would be wrong to promise a specific chemical treatment, ozone, or even chlorine dioxide, without the service confirming that treatment is appropriate for the job.

When Do You Need to Call In Outside Help for an Odor Problem?

  • Odors that are old, musty, or stale.
  • Odors caused by smoke.
  • A pet odor in one of the areas we service.
  • Odors coming from dirty duct work or from vents.
  • Odors caused from renovation, exposure to water or from being sealed up for a long time.
  • Odors coming from the heating or cooling system.

Odors cause problems. Most of the time we need to find out where the smell is coming from to clean and remove the odor.

When Should You Think About Odor Removal?

You need to think about the removal of odors when cleanings do not remove the odor permanently, when the odor returns, the odor was caused by smoke, water, or renovations, or odors are caused by the duct work or from the heating system.

You need to do further investigation on new, strong, or odd odors rather than removing them as part of a normal deodorizing service.

How Frequent Are Duct Deodorizers or Odor Removal Services?

You don't need to do duct deodorizing or odor removal services every year. It needs to be done whenever there is a smell.

Service Selection for Duct Deodorization or Odor Removal

Duct cleaning removes normal dust, debris and buildup from duct systems. Odor removal corrects a perceived odor problem. While the issues may be connected, duct cleaning and odor removal as separate services are not always the same.

If the problem is excess buildup in the ducts, then cleaning the ducts is the first service that should be considered. If the problem is a persistent odor, the source of the odor and the affected area should dictate the service.

Duct deodorization service in Toronto performed by Believer Duct Cleaning

Duct Deodorization

Duct deodorization is the service for removing an odor that is associated with the ducts or the ventilation system when deodorization is an appropriate service following due evaluation.

Deodorization should be a last resort for managing an unaddressed problem relating to moisture, contamination, mold or a defective system.

Removal of Smoke, Pet, and Musty Odors

Concerns such as the removal of smoke odors, the removal of pet odors or the removal of musty odors, may be described by searchers. However, these terms describe the odors and not the correct treatment.

The service is performed only when the source and affected area are confirmed to fall within the service scope. It does not include mold removal, whole-property restoration, or structural remediation.

Mold-Related Odors

A musty odor is a concern that may be mold related, however odors alone do not confirm a mold concern. When growth is present, or when there is moisture or other obvious circumstances, a mold-related concern should be suspected, and assessment of the ductwork or the HVAC system should be performed prior to offering a mold assessment.

Indoor Air Quality is Wider Than Just Smells

Indoor air quality problems may include odors, but there is more to it. Do you think it is an odor, dust or dirt in the ducts, build up in the HVAC, or something else? Start with our Indoor Air Quality Services.

How Much Does Odor Removal Cost in Toronto?

The cost of removal is not fixed, due to variations in the source, the size of the area affected, and the nature of the treatment. We cannot stress enough that we encourage you to contact Believer Duct Cleaning for a price related to your property, rather than provide a fixed unverified price.

Factors affecting cost include:

  • The size/type of the property
  • Location of the odor
  • Presence of ductwork/vents/HVAC components
  • Situation and extent of the odor
  • Cleaning required prior to deodorization
  • Inspections or other related services required

Describe the odor and where you notice it and any events that may have caused it. This will enable us to identify the right scope and quote.

Frequently Asked Questions About Odor Removal

How can I tell if an odor is coming from my air ducts?

The location, timing, and pattern of the odor can provide some indication, but the source should always be investigated. Inspection may be needed.

Does duct cleaning get rid of odors?

Duct cleaning removes contaminants, but it is not a service that removes odors. The service is guided by the source.

How frequently is duct deodorization necessary?

It depends. The type of service needs to be used based on the specific odor. There isn't a recommended time interval for duct deodorization.

Can duct deodorizing remove smoke or pet odors?

As long as a service falls in our scope, we aim to resolve odor issues. We look into the source and the affected area before deciding on any service.

Does the presence of mold cause an odor?

That could be the case, but it isn't confirmed by the presence of the odor alone. Mold should be addressed if it is sought after through an inspection.

How much does it cost to get odors removed in Toronto?

The extent of the affected area, the amount of cleaning needed, the degree of the situation, and the need for the scope of service will determine the price. Contact us for quotation.
