Don't Use a Clothes Pin for Odor Control in Merrimack--Call SERVPRO

Merrimack Household Odors, Whether Real or Imagined Need SERVPRO Service for Clean Air Quality

Smells can last a lifetime in your residence without even realizing the bad odors in your home. Surveys show that odors can catch the attention of the Hippocampus, in the brain and retain certain memories from that odor. Creating memories is always important because our memory recalls certain snapshots of our life, and with bad odors lingering around it can create bad memories associated with the house, and nobody wants that. Phantosmia, or imagined smelling of an odor, further complicates the issue.

SERVPRO can come in and remove those nasty odors around your Merrimack house and get it back to smelling fresh again. Bad odors can stem from fire & smoke damage, musty refrigerators, unwashed bedding or even your furry friend’s shaggy hair and dirty paws, so it is important to understand what you can do to keep those odors from lingering around the house.

The first trick is to eliminate the source of the smelly odors. Say the source is the nasty odor stemming from the smoking habits that was left behind by the previous owner. There are many do it yourself techniques you can use to try to get rid of that lingering smoke odor. However most times it does not eliminate the deep odor itself. When you call SERVPRO, we are there to respond as quickly as possible, and we have the tools and necessary equipment to take care of that smoke that was left behind and to locate the source easily.


SERVPRO uses a set of particular chemicals that we use to pre-spray the surface, and then we clean the surfaces thoroughly and intensely. We use orange and lemon scented chemicals to give the surfaces a proper fresh wash. After the washing of the walls, ceilings, carpets, and furniture is completed, we utilize a sealer to conceal the surfaces and keep them clean and free of the nicotine residue. The HVAC system will need to be cleaned out as well due to the piles of debris left from the smoke and odors in the air and clumping up in the vent registers. When the heat or A/C is turned on, all those particulates of smoke debris are just going to blow back into the house, causing the lingering smell of smoke to recycle throughout the home. After everything is heavily washed the SERVPRO team use chemicals to deodorize the smell entirely to keep those nasty smoke odors from destroying your new journey in your new home.

SERVPRO also has the availability to place HEPA air scrubbers with additional charcoal filters to help move the nicotine odor molecules out of the house as smooth and quickly as possible.
Fortunately for us, we have the world's best furry companions with us on this earth, unfortunately for us, they get dirty and bring in elements that can linger around the house for long periods. Creating those memories with your furry friends is so important for development, therefore clean and fresh odors are a must!  Pets do produce dander, dirt, dandruff and more grimy smells that come from the outside and bring them into your house. SERVPRO can come in and conduct a deep cleaning to get rid of the animal hair or fur to get the debris from spreading.

We have highly advanced vacuum wands and fully certified equipment that can eliminate those dirty odors and debris from your furry little friends. In any case of how the odors get into your house, they still are there. You can always call SERVPRO of Merrimack to help deodorize your home and get rid of those nasty lingering odors.
