Why Erlanger Homes Need Thermal (Heat) Odor Treatment
Erlanger is a well-established Kenton County city along the Dixie Highway corridor, close to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.

Erlanger's location in the Banklick Creek watershed and its aging mid-century housing stock drive consistent demand for waterproofing services.

Our Process
How We Handle Thermal (Heat) Odor Treatment in Erlanger
Four steps from emergency to restored — with local expertise at every stage.
Preparation
When Erlanger residents call, we seal the treatment area and remove heat-sensitive items. Industrial heaters and air circulation equipment are positioned throughout the space. Temperature and humidity sensors are placed for monitoring.
Heat-Up
At your Erlanger property, industrial heaters gradually raise the temperature in the space to 120-140 degrees F. This controlled heat penetrates building materials — wood studs, drywall, subfloor, concrete — causing embedded odor molecules to release from the material.
Off-Gas Capture
For Erlanger homes, as odor molecules off-gas from heated materials, HEPA air scrubbers and hydroxyl generators capture and destroy them. The combination of heat release and air treatment eliminates odors that no single method could reach alone.
Cool-Down
Your Erlanger property is our priority. the space is gradually cooled and ventilated. We verify that odors have been eliminated through sensory evaluation. If trace odors remain, additional treatment cycles can be applied.
