Why does carpet smell after a flood?

Wet carpeting or carpet pads are the perfect habitat for microorganisms (bacteria and mold) to thrive. Removing odor from carpeting after flooding requires deep cleaning using professional cleaners and techniques like hot water extraction, to promote drying and remove bacteria and mildew from the fibers of the padding and carpet.

Why is removing smoke odor after a house fire so hard?

A fire causes air to circulate throughout a space. This pushes smoke and soot into any and every nook and cranny in a home. Until all debris is removed, odors will continue to linger in the space.

What odors can be removed through residential odor removal?

Residential odor removal is a disaster cleaning service. Most commonly, this service is employed after a flood, fire, or other damaging event. Other damaging events may include the presence of a biohazard, a slow leak, or hoarding.

I highly recommend Rainbow Restoration! They did an excellent job and were able to fit us in right after I called and their rates were by far the best I found. They take great pride in their work and that was apparent on the job they did.
