It can if the source was not fully removed. Odor returns when fluids remain in padding, subfloor or walls. A team that removes soaked materials, treats the structure and runs air treatment is more likely to end it. Ask what happens if a smell remains.
Crews work quietly and handle the job with discretion. Ask about arrival and parking details when you call. If a landlord needs to notify other tenants, that decision belongs to the landlord.
Yes. Heat speeds the changes behind the odor and makes it stronger and wider spreading. A closed home with the air conditioning off can hold a strong smell. The steps stay the same, but acting soon after the scene is released helps.
Porous items that absorbed fluids, such as carpet, padding, mattresses and upholstery, are usually removed. Hard items can often be cleaned and disinfected. The team explains which is which before work begins.
Similar steps apply. The team removes affected seats and carpet, disinfects surfaces and treats the air handling system. Cars hold odor in fabric and foam, so the work needs care.
