Strong odors can make a home or business feel uncomfortable, unhealthy, and even unlivable. Smells from smoke, mold, pets, or sewage are more than just unpleasant. They are often signs of hidden problems that cannot be fixed with air fresheners or surface cleaning.
At 911 Restoration of Portland, we provide professional odor removal services in Portland, OR to completely eliminate stubborn smells. Our property restoration specialists are trained and certified to locate the source of the odor, clean and restore the affected areas, and use advanced deodorization methods to remove it for good.
If you are struggling with an odor problem, call us today at (503) 376-6666.
Why Odor Removal Requires Professionals
Unpleasant smells rarely go away on their own. They can be caused by mold growth in damp areas, smoke particles that cling to walls, pet accidents deep in carpets, or sewage contamination that spreads through flooring. These issues cannot be solved with simple cleaning sprays or scented candles.
We use advanced technology such as ozone treatment, hydroxyl generators, and air filtration machines that neutralize odor molecules at their source. This means the smell is not just covered up but fully removed.
How We Remove Odors
Our odor removal process works for both homes and commercial properties in Portland, OR. Whether you are a homeowner dealing with smoke damage in the living room or a business owner facing strong odors in a restaurant, office, or warehouse, we follow a proven step-by-step approach to eliminate the problem completely.
- Inspection – We begin by inspecting the property to identify the exact source of the odor, whether it is hidden in carpets, walls, furniture, or HVAC systems.
- Containment – The affected areas are contained so the odor does not spread into clean spaces.
- Cleaning and Disinfection – All contaminated surfaces and materials are cleaned and sanitized. This applies to everything from carpets and upholstery in homes to hard surfaces and equipment in commercial buildings.
- Deodorization Treatments – Based on the type of odor, we use professional methods such as ozone treatment, hydroxyl generators, or thermal fogging to neutralize odor molecules.
- Air Filtration – HEPA air scrubbers are set up to capture odor particles and restore clean airflow throughout the property.
- Final Testing – Before the job is finished, we check the property to ensure the odors are gone and the environment is restored to a fresh and healthy condition.
Types of Odor Removal Services We Provide in Portland, OR
Every odor has a different cause, and each one requires a unique treatment. Our team handles all of the following:
Fire and Smoke Odors
Smoke from house fires or wildfire exposure can settle into drywall, upholstery, and HVAC systems. We use thermal fogging and ozone treatments to reach deep into surfaces and neutralize the smoke particles.
Mold and Water Damage Odors
Portland’s wet climate often leads to mold and mildew, which produce a strong musty odor. We locate and repair the source of the moisture, remove any mold growth, and use antimicrobial solutions along with air purification to restore freshness.
Pet Odors
Pet urine, dander, and accidents can seep into carpet padding and even subflooring. We use enzymatic cleaners to break down organic matter and apply advanced deodorization techniques to remove lingering pet smells.
Sewage and Biohazard Odors
Sewage backups, trauma scenes, or decomposition create powerful and hazardous odors. Our technicians are trained to safely remove and disinfect contaminated materials while restoring the affected area with professional deodorization.
Cigarette and Tobacco Odors
Nicotine and tar cling to walls, ceilings, and furniture. We wash and seal surfaces, clean HVAC ducts, and apply odor removal treatments to clear the air of smoke and tobacco residue.
Cooking and Protein Fire Odors
Burnt food or protein fires leave behind greasy smoke that is especially difficult to remove. We use specialized degreasers and fogging treatments to eliminate these stubborn odors.
Chemical and Fuel Odors
Gasoline spills and chemical leaks are not only unpleasant but also dangerous. We contain the area, safely remove hazardous materials, and use hydroxyl machines and air purification systems to restore safe air quality.
Professional Odor Removal Equipment and Methods
At 911 Restoration of Portland, we use specialized technology to eliminate odors at the source instead of just covering them up. Every situation is different, so we select the right combination of treatments to ensure your home or business is left completely fresh and clean.
- Ozone Treatment – Creates ozone gas that reacts with and breaks down odor molecules, removing even the toughest smoke and chemical smells.
- Thermal Fogging – Produces a fine mist that spreads through the air and penetrates porous surfaces, neutralizing trapped smoke and fire odors.
- Hydroxyl Generators – Safe to use while people and pets remain inside, these machines break down odor-causing particles from mold, smoke, and organic materials.
- HEPA Air Scrubbers – Filter out tiny airborne particles, allergens, and odor molecules, leaving behind cleaner indoor air.
- Enzyme Cleaners – Break down organic sources of odor such as pet urine, food residue, or sewage contamination at the molecular level.

Yes. We use safe, professional techniques such as hydroxyl generators and enzyme cleaners. These treatments neutralize odors without harmful chemicals and are safe for people, pets, and plants in the home or office.

Absolutely. Smoke, mold, and pet odors often travel through vents and ductwork. We clean and deodorize HVAC systems using professional equipment to remove trapped odor particles and restore clean airflow throughout the property.

For residential properties, typical pricing is:
- Small odor issues (single room, pet or food odors): $150 to $350
- Moderate issues (whole home or moderate smoke/water damage): $400 to $1,200
