Deodourisation services are often required following a biohazard incident or restoring hygiene within an indoor environment. Odours are not just foul & sometimes offensive, ‘toxic’ odours can be hazardous requiring specialist to safely contain & remove the source of the odour. Left untreated, offensive odours can impact on property valuations and have a lasting effect on the health & welfare of occupants.

In most cases odours dissipate with time & through natural ozone or ‘airing out’ though in severe cases, such as sewage overflows, trauma scenes or human decomposition, toxic biological odours can cause illness or spread disease through the inhalation of airborne contaminates – bacterial gases, pathogenic material or chemical agents.

The goal with odour removal systems is to safely identify & remediate the hazards causing odours. This ensures, deodourisation & air purifying techniques are sustainable. The utilisation of ozone, hydroxyl & vapour treatment technology will vary dependent on the odour present & requirements for the site. Our team understand these principles & utilise scientifically proven methods to restore you property.

Understanding Organic & Chemical Odours

Organic Odours:

Odours of a biological nature are the result of chemical reactions with air particles, bacterial growth & protein degeneration. As organic matter breaks down, pathogenic organisms (bacteria & fungi), toxic chemicals & gases are produced. These pathogens become airborne & contaminate large areas of a home or business.

Offensive odours not only damage your professional reputation for business but have the potential to affect the health & welfare of residents, clients & staff as most organic odours consist of a high level of bacteria that will affect people in varying degrees from feeling sick, vomiting, diarrhea, & infections, not to mention the psychological distress.

Chemical Fumes:

Chemical odours can occur at any time or location, the result of a fire involving synthetic furniture, leaking or damaged storage containers, drug house residues & chemical spills in industrial settings. The inhalation or exposure to toxic gases that emanate from chemical hazards can cause serious injury & fatalities. In these situations the area should be evacuated, before a professional assessment by local Hazmat Fire Services or Fire Brigade. Only after toxic residues & spillages are contained & removed should any odour cleaning take place.
