The visible soot on Cottage Grove, MN walls and ceilings is just a fraction of the contamination after a fire. If it isn't removed from all penetrated surfaces simultaneously, the smell returns within weeks and the invisible health risk persists indefinitely.

Industrial ozone generation, hydroxyl machine treatment, and thermal fog application - used in combination - are the only way to fully neutralize smoke odor in a Cottage Grove, MN property. If another contractor tried to handle your Cottage Grove, MN smoke odor without industrial equipment and you're still smelling it - call us.
