Dead Animal Smell Removal at the Hollypark United Methodist Church in Gardena, CA

Hollypark Methodist Church in Gardena

Smells are a year round issue. Most are most pungent and problematic in the warmer months of spring and summer. Others reveal themselves when the weather cools down and people restart their heating systems each winter.

We got an unusual call about a dead animal smell in the heating vent at the Hollypark United Methodist Church in Gardena, CA. On their own they thought that they had identified and removed the source: a racoon’s dead body was found and removed from the system. The problem was that the smell remained which is why they called us, the Odor Removal Experts of Orange County.

You can call it luck, we call it “due diligence”, but we found a second dead raccoon stuck even farther into their heating unit, itself. At this point they decided to upgraded their heating system as it as 35 – 40 year old.

But even after the upgrade to their heating system and ductwork the smell left by the two dead racoons remained in huge air space contained in the Nave (principle area of the church). In this case the treatment took 2 days due to voluminous area to be treated.

After our treatment the congregation was invited back and expressed their gratitude for our work. We were then recommended to other churches by their clergy.
