California's Pet Urine Odor Removal Specialists

If the smell keeps coming back, it's not a cleaning problem. It Requires Structural Odor Remediation.

If the smell keeps coming back after cleaning, the urine may be embedded in your subfloor, drywall, concrete, baseboards, framing, or other building materials. That's what we find, treat, seal, and guarantee.

Not a Cleaning Company

Structural Odor Remediation Specialists

If you can smell it, we can find it. If we can find it, we can treat it at the source.

If You've Been Through This

You've Cleaned It. Replaced the Carpet. Painted the Walls. The Smell Is Still There.

You've tried ozone. Enzymes. Hydroxyl generators. You've scrubbed the concrete until your arms hurt. You've replaced flooring twice. You've stopped having people over.

You're not crazy. You're not doing it wrong. The smell isn't on the surface anymore. It's inside the building.

Urine that has soaked into subfloor, drywall, concrete, or framing doesn't respond to cleaners, deodorizers, or paint. The only fix is to find it, remove what can't be saved, and seal what can. That's structural odor remediation. That's the only thing we do.

Carpet pulled back to reveal heavy urine staining across the floor beneath
From a real job: what's often under the carpet. New carpet over a saturated subfloor buries the source — and the smell.

Why it hasn't worked

  • Ozone, hydroxyl, chlorine dioxide.

    Treat odor in air and on exposed surfaces. Cannot reach urine sealed inside building materials.

  • Enzyme cleaners.

    Need direct contact with the urine. Can't reach urine that's already soaked through carpet padding into subfloor.

  • Repainting and Kilz.

    Cover the wall surface. Don't reach urine inside the wall cavity, in framing, or behind the baseboard.

  • New flooring over old subfloor.

    Buries the contamination. The smell returns within weeks.

  • Carpet replacement alone.

    Removes one layer. Leaves the saturated subfloor underneath.

What actually works

  1. 01

    Find the source.

    UV black light, moisture detection, odor mapping. We document where the urine is, how deep, and how much.

  2. 02

    Remove what can't be saved.

    Contaminated carpet, pad, drywall, baseboards — out and disposed of.

  3. 03

    Dry the structure.

    Moisture meters confirm the substrate is ready before we treat.

  4. 04

    Seal the substrate.

    Our proprietary Odor Encapsulator is designed to help contain and reduce embedded urine vapors in the materials it's applied to.

  5. 05

    Guarantee it in writing.

    5 years. If our treated areas fail, we retreat at no charge.

Sound Familiar?

The houses we get called to every week.

  • 01

    The Stinky Clean House

    Looks new — but smells bad. Everything was just cleaned, but the odor is still there.

  • 02

    The Hide-the-Stink House

    Properties intentionally covered up to hide the urine damage from prospective buyers.

  • 03

    The Masked House

    Staged with furniture, candles, plug-ins, and fresh air fresheners in every room.

  • 04

    The Flipped Flop House

    The remodeled home that looks brand new but will have to be torn apart to get rid of the odor and put back together.

  • 05

    The DIY Delight House

    First-time buyers or owners trying to fix it themselves without removing the source.

A visible stain doesn't always mean there's an odor — and an odor doesn't always mean there's a visible stain. That's why surface cleaning often misses the problem. Either way, the smell is still embedded in the subfloor, drywall, concrete, or framing below the surface.

OdorProof 5-year guarantee seal — sealed with the Odor Encapsulator

Our Promise

The 5-Year Written Guarantee

Every area we treat with the Odor Encapsulator is covered for 5 years — in writing, on your invoice. If the odor we treated comes back in a treated area within those 5 years, we come back and retreat it at no charge.

Transfers to a new owner: when we remediate a home for the purpose of selling it — an active listing, or work coordinated with your realtor or contractor — the guarantee transfers to the new owner. In any other situation, a transfer requires our written approval.

What's Covered

The contamination we identified, treated, and sealed.

What's Not Covered

Repeated or new pet urine. We control the odor — pet owners have to control the pets.

The Cost of Waiting

What happens if you leave it.

  • The smell gets stronger.

    Embedded urine reactivates with heat, humidity, and time. Worse in summer. Worse after rain.

  • New flooring over old contamination fails.

    The odor returns within weeks. You pay twice.

  • Property value drops 5–15%.

    Pet odor is a top-three buyer dealbreaker. Often costs more than remediation.

  • Disclosure liability grows if you're selling.

    California requires sellers to disclose known material defects. A documented problem becomes legal exposure.

The job gets bigger — and more expensive — every time you treat it wrong.

Every enzyme application, every deodorizer, every "miracle" product layered on top creates more damage to remediate. A $3,500 fix today becomes a $7,500 fix in 18 months — not because the urine got worse, but because the cleanup attempts did.
