How Our Odor Control Service Works
Smoke, pets, and damp basements can leave odors trapped in carpet, furniture, drywall, and even ductwork. When smells travel through your heating and cooling system, our duct cleaning helps remove the buildup that keeps bringing them back. We're a local, family-run company that has served Kearney since 1993, and we'll assess the space, find the source, and recommend the right treatment.
Air fresheners and sprays only mask a smell for a little while. Our odor control service uses ozone treatment to break down the compounds that cause odors, so the smell doesn't creep back a few days later. Ozone reaches places that surface cleaning can't, including fabric, carpet backing, drywall, and ductwork, and it gets into corners, closets, and soft surfaces where odors tend to hide. We'll walk you through the plan before we start, including how long the space needs to stay empty.
- Setup: An ozone generator is placed in the sealed space.
- Treatment: The generator runs for a set period while ozone circulates through the air and surfaces.
- Breakdown: Odor-causing compounds are broken down, not covered up.
- Ventilation: The space stays unoccupied during treatment and is aired out afterward.
- Back to normal: Once ventilated, the space is ready for everyday use.
Pet Odor Removal and Smoke Odor Removal
Clearing Pet Accident Odors
We love pets too, but accidents can leave smells that linger long after the stain is gone. Our pet odor removal targets urine and accident odors in carpet, pad, and furniture. When the source has soaked below the surface, we pair ozone treatment with carpet cleaning to address it at every layer. Afterward, Scotchgard can help make future accidents easier to clean up before they soak in.
Getting Smoke Smells Out for Good
Smoke works its way into everything, from curtains and carpet to walls and ductwork. Our smoke odor removal handles cigarette smoke and odors left behind by fire residue. It's a common request for homes being sold, rental properties between tenants, and vehicles with a smoking history. For heavy smoke, we may also recommend cleaning carpet, upholstery, and ducts so no source is left behind.
Musty and Damp Odors
Leaks, flooding, and high humidity often leave a musty smell behind. Treating the moisture and the smell together helps keep it from coming back, and our team handles both, so you only need one call. Whatever the cause, we'll help you find the source and treat it properly.

Where Odors Hide in Your Home
The hardest part of getting rid of a smell is finding where it lives. Odors rarely sit on the surface. Instead, they soak into porous materials and slowly release back into the air, which is why a room can smell fine one day and stale the next, especially when the heat turns on or the humidity rises.
Before we treat a space, we look at the likely sources and plan around them. That way, the treatment reaches the places where odors actually hide, not just the air in the middle of the room.
- Carpet pad and backing: Pet urine and spills often soak below the carpet surface.
- Upholstered furniture: Cushions and padding hold onto smoke and pet odors.
- Drywall and ceilings: Smoke residue settles into walls over time.
- Ductwork: Odors circulate through the whole building every time the system runs.
- Closets and basements: Low airflow lets musty smells build up.
- Vehicles: Small, enclosed spaces concentrate smoke and pet odors.
Once we know where the smell is coming from, we can combine ozone treatment with carpet, upholstery, or duct cleaning as needed. Treating every source together gives you the best chance of a smell that's gone for good.
Odor Control Services FAQs
Is ozone odor treatment safe?
Yes, when it's done correctly. Ozone is powerful, which is why the treated space must be unoccupied while the generator runs. That means people and pets should be out of the area during treatment, and plants should be moved if possible. Once the treatment is complete, the space is ventilated before anyone returns. After that, it's ready for normal use. We'll explain every step ahead of time, including when it's safe to come back in.
Can you get rid of pet urine smells?
Yes. Pet odor removal starts with finding where the urine has gone. Urine often soaks through carpet into the pad below, which is why surface cleaning alone doesn't always solve the problem. We can combine carpet cleaning with ozone treatment to address odors at every layer. Treating accidents quickly gives you the best results, so call us as soon as you notice a problem. We can also recommend ways to protect your carpet from future accidents.
Can smoke smell really be removed?
In most cases, yes. Smoke odor removal works best when we treat both the air and the surfaces where smoke residue has settled, including carpet, furniture, drywall, and ductwork. Ozone circulates through these areas and breaks down odor-causing compounds instead of masking them. For homes with heavy or long-term smoke exposure, we may recommend combining ozone treatment with carpet, upholstery, and duct cleaning. We'll assess the space before we begin.
Will the smell come back after treatment?
Ozone breaks down odor-causing compounds instead of covering them, so treated odors shouldn't simply return the way they do with air fresheners. The key is addressing the source. If urine is still in the carpet pad or moisture is still in a wall, a new smell can develop over time. That's why we look for the source first and may pair ozone with carpet cleaning or drying. Our odor elimination services are backed by our satisfaction guarantee.
Do you offer odor removal for businesses?
Yes. Our commercial odor removal services help offices, stores, restaurants, and other businesses deal with smoke, musty, and other persistent odors. A fresh-smelling space makes a better impression on customers and creates a more comfortable environment for staff. Because the treated area needs to be unoccupied during ozone treatment, we'll schedule it around your business hours. Call us for a free estimate and to talk through your options.
