Professional Odor Removal in Northern Idaho

Serving Coeur d’Alene, Post Falls, Hayden, and Rathdrum

Don’t Mask Odors—Remove Them for Good

Unpleasant odors don’t just affect comfort—they impact health, property value, and peace of mind. Whether it’s the aftermath of a fire, cigarette smoke in a rental, or lingering pet smells, temporary air fresheners and surface sprays don’t cut it.

At Northern Lights Mitigation & Consulting, we specialize in deep odor removal, using commercial-grade equipment and advanced chemical treatments to neutralize odors at the molecular level. We’ve restored everything from flooded basements in Rathdrum to smoke-damaged homes in Hayden. When other solutions fail, we deliver.

Types of Odors We Treat

We eliminate even the most stubborn odors, including:

  • Smoke odors (from fires, cigarettes, or fireplaces)

  • Pet urine and dander (cats, dogs, rodents)

  • Moldy or musty smells from crawlspaces, attics, or basements

  • Cooking odors (grease, curry, deep-fried food)

  • Dead animal or rodent smells

  • Biohazard and trauma scene odors

  • Water and sewage damage odors

  • Fuel oil and chemical residue smells

If your property smells “off” and you can’t figure out why—we’ll find the source and fix it.

Northern Lights Mitigation & Consultation Odor Removal Process

We follow a professional and efficient process for odor remediation, using the most up-to-date tools and practices. Here’s how we restore your air:

1. Odor Source Identification and Any Necessary Locating

We begin with a thorough inspection using moisture meters, air sensors, and surface scans to find hidden contamination. If we don’t remove the source, the odor will return.

2. Deep Cleaning & Contaminant Removal

We clean affected surfaces and remove contaminated materials like carpets, insulation, drywall, or HVAC filters as needed.

3. Chemical Treatment & Air Neutralization

We use enzymatic cleaners, antimicrobial agents, and professional odor encapsulants on surfaces where odor particles bond.

4. Ozone or Hydroxyl Generator Treatment

Depending on the odor type and safety requirements, we deploy ozone shock treatments or hydroxyl machines to break down odor molecules in the air.

5. Final Testing & Air Quality Check

We confirm that odors are eliminated—not just masked—with follow-up tests and client walkthroughs.

Why Odor Lingers (Even After Cleaning)

Odors persist because the source is often absorbed deep into materials like:

  • Drywall

  • Wood framing

  • HVAC ductwork

  • Carpet padding

  • Insulation

Traditional cleaning can’t reach these areas. Our equipment oxidizes and neutralizes odor molecules even inside porous surfaces—ensuring long-term results.
