Odor elimination and Super Sterilization is what we do. To get there, we utilize carpet & upholstery cleaning machines to perform heated extractions with an oxyclean solution. For targeting more difficult stains, we use chemical specific pretreatments to bring your carpet/upholstery back to life! Nicotine stains/odors on your wall? We got you covered there as well! Whether the primary issue is stain removal, general cleanliness, odor removal, or all of the above we have the solution. In many odor related situations, whether auto, home, or office buildings, we can minimize and/or completely remove the odor with a simple ozone shock treatment. Ozone occurs naturally in the environment; for example the fresh smell after a rain storm, and it's specifically used to target airborne and surface level contaminants in which the odor is stored. Smoke B Gone in Glen Allen, Virginia, specializes in odor elimination and permanent odor removal in any type of vehicle, house, apartment, and commercial structure up to 10,000 square feet. Our state of the art ozone machines target undesirable odors and prevents their return. With nearly a decade of experience within the auto industry, I have attempted nearly everything available in today's market to eliminate foul odors AND have them never return. With thousands of products available it didn't take long to realize most of them did actually work; however, only as a short term masking agent. As you may have guessed, the problem is the following day, or week, the odor would always return...until now. After partnering with a leading manufacturer with over 30 years experience, we have architected a solution to restore the highly desired natural scent in our cars, homes, and so forth. Once we discovered this solution, we tweaked and retested our findings, until we could mirror these results across the board, time and time again, within multiple industries.

It's impossible to prevent every instance of water damage, especially from extreme weather or river flooding. However, you can take steps to minimize the risk:
Inspect appliances and plumbing fixtures monthly for leaks and related issues. Ensure hoses are free from drips, and check the sealing around tubs and showers, caulking if necessary.
Hire a pro to inspect your home's plumbing, roof, foundation, and more each year.
Improve drainage around your home: Extend downspouts away from the foundation, enhance yard grading, and consider installing a sump pump to reduce flooding risks.
Keep gutters and downspouts clear of debris and stay on top of cleaning tasks.
Install leak detectors and automatic shutoff valves: These devices can alert you to leaks and prevent extensive damage.
Winterize your pipes to protect them from freezing temperatures, which can lead to bursting.
Homeowners insurance generally covers water damage from sudden and accidental events, like burst pipes or unexpected leaks. It typically doesn't cover damage due to neglect or poor maintenance. A home warranty covers breakages from normal wear and tear on appliances and home systems but doesn't provide structural coverage like homeowners insurance. It's essential to review your specific policy details and contact your insurance company to understand your coverage. Thoroughly documenting the damage with photos and videos can simplify the claims process and improve your chances of a favorable outcome.
A water-damaged home can take around five days to dry, though this depends on the damage. As for dedicated cleanups and repairs, it goes in phases, with water extraction taking at least three days and full restoration taking weeks or even months. Replacing drywall, plumbing fixtures, and electrical components can take a few days as well.
After water damage, you may need to replace porous items that have absorbed water and can't be thoroughly dried or sanitized. Materials like carpets, upholstered furniture, wall insulation, drywall, and other absorbent items often require replacement. Water can cause these materials to deteriorate and become breeding grounds for mold, posing health risks. It's important to assess all affected items and consult with a professional to determine what needs to be replaced to restore your home safely.
Detecting mold behind walls can be challenging, but certain signs may indicate its presence. If you notice discoloration, water stains, or peeling paint on your walls, mold could be growing underneath. A persistent musty odor is another strong indicator of hidden mold. Additionally, experiencing unexplained health issues like frequent sneezing, coughing, or eye irritation in specific rooms may signal mold growth. In such cases, it's advisable to hire a professional mold inspector to assess and address the problem promptly.
