This isn’t a store-bought-air-freshener situation. This is a call-in-a-professional situation.

Stubborn cigarette smoke. Those deep-in-the-carpet pet smells. Surprise Norovirus attacks. Odors and infectious substances like these are beyond your typical cleanup toolkit. But Umpire can help you eliminate them - for good.

"I just bought a used car from someone who was a smoker and the car had gotten mold damage. My husband and I cleaned out the car but could not get the smell to go away.
I called Umpire and Stephen suggested that they had a machine they could put in my car that would help mitigate the mold and cigarette smoke smell. It worked and I don’t get an allergy feeling when I get into the car anymore. Thanks for getting this taken care of for me Stephen. I appreciated the big help with my little problem.”

“Removed all the smelly debris to completely eliminate the odor”
“Your team really did a bang up job. I stuck my face in the trash bin out front and the debris you hauled out smells bad! So glad you all removed the rugs, etc. Thanks again for the great work thus far!"

You don’t have to choose between cleanup that’s quick and cleanup that works.

Frequently asked questions

What areas does Umpire serve for odor removal?

Umpire provides odor removal and disinfection services across Northern Virginia and the Shenandoah Valley, including Loudoun, Fauquier, Frederick, Clarke, Fairfax, Prince William, Warren, Culpeper, Shenandoah, Madison, and Page counties, plus the I-81 corridor. Call or text (703) 665-1129.

Does insurance cover odor removal?

Odor removal is typically covered when it results from a covered event — for example, smoke odor after a fire, or odor from water damage and mold. Odors from pets, cigarettes, or cooking are generally considered maintenance issues and are not covered. Umpire works with all insurance companies and can help determine whether your situation qualifies for a claim.

How long does odor removal take?

Most odor removal jobs take 1–3 days, depending on the source and severity. Cigarette smoke that has permeated walls and carpet over years takes longer than a single cooking incident. Umpire will assess the situation and give you a realistic timeline before starting.

How is professional odor removal different from air fresheners or DIY methods?

Consumer products mask odors temporarily. Professional odor removal eliminates the source. Umpire identifies where the odor is coming from (which may be hidden in walls, ductwork, or subfloors), removes or treats the source material, and then uses commercial deodorization equipment to neutralize remaining odor molecules at the molecular level. The result is permanent elimination, not temporary covering.

What types of odors can Umpire remove?

Umpire removes odors from smoke and fire damage, pet urine, cigarette and cigar smoke, cooking odors, musty/mildew smells, skunk spray, deceased animals, and other biological sources. We use professional-grade equipment including hydroxyl generators and cold fogging (ULV fogging) — not consumer air fresheners that just mask the smell.

Eliminate home health risks and stubborn household odors. For good.
