Structural Pet Urine Remediation

When urine reaches the structure, cleaning can’t fix it. We remediate the damage — then odor-proof the result.

When pet urine has soaked past the surface into subfloor, concrete, drywall, framing, and sill plates, the fix isn’t cleaning — it’s remediation. We remove and treat the contaminated structure, then seal qualifying surfaces with our Odor Encapsulator — which is designed to help contain and reduce embedded urine vapors — backed by a 5-year written guarantee on qualifying work.

When surface treatment isn’t enough

  • What structural remediation is

    Removing and treating the building materials pet urine has saturated — subfloor, concrete, drywall, framing — then sealing the qualifying result with our Odor Encapsulator. It’s the repair and the seal, together.

  • When you need it

    Long-term or multi-pet contamination, urine wicked into framing and sill plates, prior fixes that didn’t hold, or a smell that returns no matter how many times the floors are cleaned.

  • Signs the urine has reached the structure

    Odor keeps returning after cleaning; worse in warm or humid weather; stains reappear through new flooring; discoloration at wall bases or trim.

The process — remediation, then odor proofing

  1. 01

    Inspection

    UV + moisture mapping, itemized estimate first.

  2. 02

    Map the full scope

    Room by room, including hidden contamination behind baseboards and in framing.

  3. 03

    Remove contaminated material

  4. 04

    Treat

    Reduce and neutralize contamination on surfaces we keep.

  5. 05

    Dry the structure

    Test moisture and dry with commercial drying equipment before sealing.

  6. 06

    Odor Proofing

    Seal qualifying treated surfaces with the Odor Encapsulator.

How it fits together — two steps, one job

Remediation is the repair: inspect, remove, treat. Odor Proofing is the sealing step, applied to qualifying treated surfaces and backed by our guarantee.

Severe jobs need both: remediate the damage, then odor-proof the result. Odor proofing complements remediation — it never replaces it.

The 5-Year Written Guarantee

Qualifying surfaces treated with our Odor Encapsulator are backed by a written 5-year guarantee, subject to the documented scope and terms.

What it does and does not do: it addresses pet-urine odor in the specific structural materials we treat; it does not make the property impervious to future pet accidents or odor from other sources. The guarantee does not apply to inspections, estimates, oxidizer-only treatments, or allergen services.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if I need remediation vs. cleaning?

If the smell keeps returning after cleaning, the source is in the structure. The inspection confirms how deep it goes.

Do you remove and replace materials?

When material is too contaminated to treat, we remove and dispose of it; salvageable surfaces are treated and sealed.

Can you work with my contractor or flooring installer?

Yes — we document the scope so your installer or GC can coordinate around the sealed surfaces.

How much does it cost?

It depends on severity, number of surfaces, and removal needed. You get a documented, itemized estimate after the inspection.

Do I need an inspection first?

Yes — it maps every contaminated surface so the scope covers the whole problem, not just what’s visible.
