Pet Odor Removal Service – T.A.C.T. North Atlanta

Fast Relief From Tough Pet Odors in North Atlanta

T.A.C.T. North Atlanta provides 24/7 professional pet odor removal service for homes and businesses throughout the North Atlanta region. We serve Roswell, Alpharetta, Marietta, Sandy Springs, Johns Creek, and surrounding communities with rapid-response odor remediation that goes far beyond what store-bought products can accomplish.

Our team specializes in eliminating dog urine and cat urine odors, feces and vomit contamination, rodent-related smells, and other severe, persistent odors that regular cleaning products simply cannot remove. As a certified biohazard remediation company—not a standard cleaning service—we handle everything from minor pet accidents to extreme contamination scenarios, including multiple-pet households with years of accumulated damage, vacant rental units, and hoarding situations.

We remove pet odors at the source. That means treating carpet, padding, subfloor, concrete, drywall, and HVAC systems rather than covering unpleasant smells with perfumes or temporary deodorizers. When you need results that last, we have the methods, specialized equipment, and expertise to deliver them.

Why Professional Pet Odor Removal Matters

Pet urine and other biological odors may seem like a nuisance at first, but over time they become a genuine health, safety, and property-value concern that homeowners cannot afford to ignore.

When pet urine breaks down, it releases ammonia and other volatile compounds that can irritate the lungs, trigger asthma episodes, and cause persistent headaches. In homes where pets have had repeated accidents over months or years, these urine crystals become embedded deep within carpet fibers, padding, and structural materials. The odor problem intensifies with humidity and temperature changes, and no amount of baking soda or consumer-grade products will eliminate it permanently.

Older or repeated accidents don’t just stay on the surface. Liquid urine soaks through carpet into padding, then into the subfloor, baseboards, and even wall cavities. By the time you detect a strong cat smell or dog odor throughout a room, the contamination has likely spread well beyond what you can see. Store-bought enzyme cleaners may temporarily reduce the smell, but they rarely reach the root causes of deep structural contamination.

The impact on property value in North Atlanta is significant. In 2023–2025, we’ve seen buyers walk away from contracts or demand large price concessions—sometimes tens of thousands of dollars—because of strong pet odor during home inspections. Rental turnover becomes expensive when units require extensive remediation before re-listing.

Special concern applies to sensitive environments: daycare areas where children play on floors, senior living apartments where respiratory health is fragile, medical offices, and homes with immunocompromised occupants. In these settings, lingering odors aren’t just unpleasant—they represent a real health hazard.

T.A.C.T. North Atlanta Pet Odor Removal Services

We offer both one-time emergency odor removal and planned remediation projects for occupied and vacant properties. Whether you’ve recently purchased a house with hidden contamination or you’re a property manager preparing a rental for new tenants, our services adapt to your timeline and budget.

Our core pet odor removal services include whole-house dog and cat urine odor removal covering carpets, rugs, upholstery, hard floors, subfloor, and walls. We provide pet feces and vomit odor cleanup with biohazard-level disinfection protocols that go beyond surface cleaning. For severe cases, we offer complete odor remediation for hoarding homes and long-vacant rentals with extensive pet damage accumulated over years.

We also specialize in odor removal after rodent infestations, addressing urine, droppings, and nesting materials that pest control companies often leave behind. Property managers, realtors, and investors preparing homes for listing or move-in rely on our targeted remediation to make properties fresh and marketable again.

Our work extends to both residential homes and commercial settings, including veterinary clinics, grooming salons, pet boarding facilities, and apartment complexes. When odors are part of a bigger issue, we coordinate with our other services—hoarding cleanup, mold remediation, water damage restoration—to address everything efficiently under one roof.

Our Pet Odor Inspection & Assessment Process

A thorough inspection is the first step toward permanent odor removal. Without understanding exactly where contamination exists and how deeply it has penetrated, any treatment plan is essentially guesswork.

Our technicians walk the property with the owner, noting odor hot spots in specific rooms—living rooms, bedrooms, dedicated pet areas, basements, and garages. We ask about pet history, how long animals have lived in the home, and where accidents occurred most frequently. This conversation helps us identify areas that require extra attention.

We use specialized equipment to locate hidden contamination that visual inspection alone would miss. UV black lights reveal dried urine stains on carpets, along baseboards, on walls, and on upholstered furniture that appear invisible under normal lighting. Moisture meters help us detect penetration into padding and subfloor, showing exactly how deep the damage extends.

When odors are severe or date back several years, technicians may lift corners of carpet, check tack strips for saturation, and inspect subfloor and drywall for visible staining or structural degradation. This hands-on assessment reveals whether materials can be saved or must be removed entirely.

After the inspection, we provide a written or emailed summary with recommended treatment steps, any necessary material removal (such as carpet or baseboard sections), and an estimated price range. You’ll know exactly what to expect before any work begins.

Pet Odor Removal Techniques We Use

We use a combination of professional biohazard and restoration techniques tailored to the specific odor source and affected materials. Our approach is systematic, addressing contamination at every level rather than treating only what’s visible.

The first step is always source removal whenever possible. Heavily contaminated carpet, completely soaked padding, sections of subfloor saturated beyond recovery, and deteriorated insulation or drywall must be physically removed—not just treated with chemicals. No amount of cleaning product will permanently eliminate urine odors from materials that are beyond salvage.

For salvageable surfaces, we employ deep cleaning methods that include targeted extraction of urine-contaminated carpet areas to remove as much liquid contamination as possible. We apply enzyme-based digesters that break down uric acid and organic material at the molecular level, giving the cleaning process time to work before neutralization. EPA-registered disinfectants address bacteria and other microorganisms that produce ongoing odor.

In severe cases, we sand, treat, and then seal subfloors or concrete with professional odor encapsulating sealers specifically formulated to block vapor and moisture migration. This prevents remaining odor molecules from releasing into the air even under changing humidity conditions.

Advanced deodorization methods include hydroxyl generators, ozone treatment (where appropriate and only in unoccupied spaces), and HEPA air filtration to address lingering airborne odors throughout the structure. These methods attacks odors that have spread beyond the original contamination site.

We do not rely on masking agents or perfumes to hide remaining odors. Any light fragrance used during our process is purely secondary to the real remediation work. When we’re finished, the odor is gone—not covered up.

Pet Odor Removal for Different Surfaces

Treatment is customized by surface type to ensure complete odor removal. What works for carpet won’t necessarily work for concrete, and treating drywall requires a different approach than cleaning furniture.

Carpet and Padding

Carpet can sometimes be saved with deep extraction and enzyme/disinfectant treatment, particularly when contamination is limited to specific areas and hasn’t fully saturated the padding beneath. However, when padding has absorbed significant urine over time, removal and replacement is typically more cost-effective than repeated treatment attempts. We help homeowners understand when pet carpet cleaning will be sufficient versus when replacement makes more financial sense.

Subfloor and Concrete

Subfloor contamination is common in homes where pets have had accidents for years. We conduct thorough cleaning, allow proper drying time, and apply professional-grade sealing products that lock remaining odor-causing matter beneath an impermeable barrier. For concrete floors in basements or slab-on-grade construction, the same principles apply—clean, dry, and seal to eliminate pet urine odors permanently.

Drywall and Baseboards

Walls and baseboards absorb urine spray from male cats and dogs marking territory, as well as splash-back from floor contamination. In many cases, selective removal of lower drywall sections (typically 12–24 inches from the floor) is necessary before sealing the remaining structure. This targeted approach removes the worst contamination while minimizing reconstruction costs.

Upholstered Items and Furniture

Upholstered furniture, pet beds, and area rugs present challenges because urine can soak deep into cushioning and fabric backing. When occupants want to save sentimental or high-value items, we can attempt treatment, but we’re honest when disposal is the more practical recommendation. Some other upholstered items simply absorb too much contamination to remediate effectively.

HVAC Systems

HVAC registers and returns in odor-heavy rooms are checked and may require cleaning or treatment to prevent recirculation of pet odors throughout the house. This step is often overlooked but critical for complete remediation.

Pet Odor Removal for Home Buyers, Sellers & Property Managers

The North Atlanta real estate market presents frequent scenarios where pet odor becomes a transaction issue. Buying a home in 2024–2026 with heavy pet odor, preparing a property for sale after pet-owning tenants move out, or turning over a rental unit after long-term residents with multiple pets—all require professional intervention to resolve.

For Home Buyers

Pre-purchase pet odor inspections help buyers who notice odor at showings or during the inspection period understand the scope of the problem before closing. We provide rough remediation cost estimates that support negotiations, helping buyers decide whether to request seller concessions, lower their offer, or walk away from a property with contamination beyond their budget to address.

For Landlords and Property Managers

Post-move-out services offer rapid turnaround on apartments and single-family rentals. Prolonged vacancy due to stubborn odors costs money every day—our efficient remediation process gets units back on the market quickly. We understand the pressure to minimize turnover time while still addressing the problem thoroughly.

For Sellers and Real Estate Agents

We provide documentation and photos before and after odor remediation that sellers and agents can share with potential buyers, proving the issue was professionally corrected. This transparency helps overcome buyer hesitation and supports asking prices that might otherwise suffer from odor-related negotiation.

Our team has extensive experience working alongside real estate agents, home inspectors, and investors to create practical, budget-conscious odor removal plans that address buyer concerns without unnecessary expense.

Health & Safety Standards in Pet Odor Cleanup

Pet odor remediation is treated with the same seriousness as the other biohazard work we perform. Severe contamination involves biological material that requires professional handling, not just aggressive scrubbing.

Our technicians use appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves, respirators, and protective suits in heavily contaminated areas. This protects both our team and the property from cross-contamination during the removal process.

We follow OSHA and industry guidelines for handling and disposing of contaminated carpet, padding, and other materials as potentially biohazardous waste. Contaminated materials are bagged, transported, and disposed of according to regulations—not simply tossed in residential trash.

We use professional-grade products selected for both effectiveness and safety. Before work begins, we can discuss material safety data and re-entry times with clients who have concerns about product exposure. Transparency about what we use and why helps homeowners feel confident in our approach.

Special precautions apply when children, seniors, or medically fragile occupants are present. We work with families to schedule service during optimal times, plan ventilation strategies, and establish containment barriers that prevent treatment products from affecting occupied areas of the home.

How Our Pet Odor Removal Process Works Step by Step

We follow a clear, repeatable process so customers know exactly what to expect from first contact through final walkthrough.

Throughout the process, we maintain open communication. If deeper damage is uncovered after carpet removal or wall opening, we contact you immediately to discuss options before proceeding. There are no surprises on the final invoice.

Working With Insurance & Other Services We Offer

Pet odor cleanup sometimes intersects with insurance claims, particularly when combined with water damage, rodent infestation during a covered event, or hoarding situations that escalate into property damage.

T.A.C.T. North Atlanta works with all major insurance companies and provides detailed documentation, photos, and itemized invoices when pet odor remediation is part of a covered loss. While pet odor alone typically isn’t covered, contamination resulting from covered incidents may qualify for reimbursement.

Our broader capabilities extend well beyond pet odor. We provide crime and trauma scene cleanup, unattended death cleanup, hoarding remediation, mold remediation, rodent droppings cleanup, commercial disinfection, tear gas remediation, and fire and water damage restoration. When properties face multiple issues—mold growth plus pet contamination, or tobacco smoke combined with cat urine odors throughout a house—a single certified remediation company handles everything efficiently.

Using one company for multiple services saves time and reduces project complexity. Homeowners don’t need to coordinate between separate contractors, property managers get single-source accountability, and facility directors can streamline vendor management.

We combine biohazard-level expertise with a local, compassionate approach that larger national companies cannot match.
