Q: Does the BioSweep treatment process ever fail?
A: Usually when an odor returns there are unknown factors surrounding the origination or location of the smell. Carpet padding, air filters and other sponge-type porous material are the primary factors for odors reoccurring. Our technicians are highly trained to identify these possible odor traps so permanent odor removal can be achieved. If despite our best efforts, the odor we treated for is not removed or returns, we will make suggestions and changes to improve upon the outcome and treat the area again.
There are sometimes extreme circumstances where complete and total removal of an odor cannot be achieved without removal of carpet, removal or replacement of porous surfaces including wood, foam padding and drywall. Your technician will address this type of situation with you prior to treatment so that you may realistically plan to achieve the desired result.
