Ascent Odor Remediation and Sanitization

03/23/2026

Pulled all of this out of a listed home this week…

Plug-ins, sprays, charcoal, mothballs — all trying to cover up a cat odor issue.

Here’s the reality:
Masking doesn’t work. Buyers notice it immediately, even if they don’t say a word. And it absolutely impacts how a home shows and how quickly it sells.

If the odor is still in the materials (floors, subfloor, drywall, HVAC), no amount of this will fix it.

That’s where I come in.

At Ascent Odor Remediation & Sanitization, I eliminate pet odors at the source using a full-home chlorine dioxide treatment that pe*****tes the entire structure — not just the air. No masking, no residue, no guessing.

• Whole-home treatment (including HVAC/ductwork)
• Permanent odor elimination — not temporary cover-ups
• 24-hour process
• Pay-at-closing available for most sellers

If you have a listing that isn’t getting the traction it should, and you suspect odor might be playing a role, I’m happy to take a look and give you honest feedback.

Sometimes this is the difference between a home sitting… and a home selling.

“I absolutely 💯 percent recommend him.”

Ever wonder if pet urine odor in a basement can truly be eliminated—especially when it’s soaked into joists, subfloor, or framing?

Here’s what one of our recent clients had to say after a long battle with severe summer-time urine odor:

“Cory has a can-do attitude… He met my unique problems with pet odor and urine on basement joists with a tailor-made solution. Cory was very flexible and approachable, answered all my questions, did an incredibly thorough job, and—most importantly—got rid of the horrible urine smell. I was elated because in the summer the smell is horrific! I absolutely 💯 percent recommend him.”

When traditional cleaning can’t even touch the smell…
When the odor seems baked into the structure…
When you’re convinced you’ll just have to “live with it”…

👉 Ascent steps in with professional-grade dry v***r & liquid treatments that pe*****te deep into building materials—eliminating the problem at its source, not masking it.

If a basement full of long-term urine odor can be completely transformed… imagine what we can do for smoke, musty/moldy odors, pet odors, cooking odors, and more.

MYTH-BUSTING MONDAY

Let’s bust one of the biggest myths in real estate history:
“New paint fixes everything.”

Except… odors.
Odors laugh at paint.
Odors live deeper — in drywall, baseboards/trim, carpet, hardwood, even the HVAC ductwork like they’re paying rent.

That’s why beautifully remodeled homes still get buyer feedback like:
“Love the kitchen… but something smells weird.”
(Every agent’s favorite sentence. 😐)

Here’s the good news:
Our dry v***r treatment eliminates the smell for real — not just hides it with lavender spray and false hope.

So if your listing looks like a dream but smells like its previous life, there’s an easy fix.

Realtors:
Save your deal, your showing feedback, and your sanity.
Message me for details or questions — I’ve got odor solutions for every listing that smells ‘mysteriously lived-in.’

Did you know your nose decides faster than your eyes?
Science shows that smell hits the brain immediately—faster than sight, sound, or touch—because scent goes straight to the parts of the brain that control emotion, comfort, memory, and trust.
That means when a buyer or tenant walks through the front door, their brain is already forming an opinion of the home before they’ve seen the kitchen, the flooring, or the updates.
And here’s what the research says:
👉 A single unpleasant odor can make a space feel older, dirtier, smaller, or even unsafe—even if the home is beautifully remodeled.
👉 Pleasant/neutral air boosts positive impressions, increases time spent in the space, and improves willingness to move forward.
👉 People rely on smell more than they realize—most of the influence happens subconsciously.
👉 First-whiff impressions tend to stick, meaning a bad smell can follow a home through every showing.
Bottom line:
If a property smells like smoke, pets, must, or “something’s off,” buyers mentally check out long before they talk numbers… and that leads to price drops, longer days on market, and lost opportunities.
That’s where Ascent Odor Remediation & Sanitization changes the game.
Our professional dry v***r gas treatment neutralizes odors at the molecular level—not masking, not covering up… eliminating.
We treat the entire home, including ductwork, carpets, walls, and the air itself, restoring a clean, fresh, “show-ready” environment in 24 hours.
Real estate agents, property managers, and sellers use Ascent because it helps them:
✔ Sell faster
✔ Reduce price drops
✔ Improve first impressions
✔ Boost buyer confidence
✔ Protect their reputation
✔ Make more money on every deal
If you’ve got a listing that smells like smoke, pets, mildew, or “I can’t quite place it”… don’t gamble with buyer psychology.
Send me a message and I’ll get you a free quote.
Let’s get your listings smelling as good as they look—and help you close faster with no more odor-related objections.

🌬️ Another 5-Star Win for Ascent Odor Remediation & Sanitization!
If you work in real estate, this is one you’ll definitely want to read. 👇

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Review from a Local Realtor:
*"I cannot recommend Cory enough. I had a downtown condo that literally reeked of cigarette smoke — the previous owner had been chain smoking inside for 4 years and the smell was stuck deep in the walls, furniture, everything. I honestly didn’t think anything could fix it.

Cory came out, was extremely knowledgeable, professional, and explained exactly what the treatment would do. He used his gas treatment process, and within literally hours my condo smelled completely different… fresh, clean, and like nothing ever happened. It actually smelled so good afterward that I started considering having him treat my personal home — even though my house doesn’t have any odor issues — just because I wanted that same clean fresh smell there too.

This is an amazing service and product, and Cory is an awesome person to work with on top of it. If you’ve got odor issues — especially cigarette smoke — call Cory. You will be extremely happy with the results. Highly recommend!"*

🔥 Real Estate Agents & Property Managers:

🚫 Ozone Failed. Cat P*e Still Won.

So they called Ascent.

The homeowner ran an ozone generator for WEEKS trying to kill stubborn cat-urine odor.
💡 Result?
No change.
(Ozone ended up serving as… a doorstop.)

Here’s why 👇

⚠️ Why Ozone Usually Doesn’t Work

✅ Surface-level only
Ozone breaks down fast and only reacts with what it touches. It cannot pe*****te deeply into:
• Subfloor
• Carpet pad
• Walls
• Ductwork
• Insulation

✅ Doesn’t break down uric acid
Cat urine forms uric acid crystals — the main cause of lingering odor.
Ozone doesn’t reliably destroy these, so the smell returns, especially with humidity.

✅ Health & material risks
At “effective” odor levels, ozone is considered a lung irritant and can:
• Trigger asthma
• Cause coughing / chest irritation
• Damage rubber, wiring, finishes, and fabrics

EPA & OSHA both warn against high-level ozone in occupied spaces.

Bottom line →
Even when used correctly, ozone rarely solves deep odor problems.

✅ Why Chlorine Dioxide (ClO₂) Dry V***r Works

We treated this same home with ClO₂ dry v***r — the results were night & day.

✅ Penetrates deeper
ClO₂ is a true gas. If air can reach it, ClO₂ can reach it. That means it spreads into:
• Subfloor
• Carpet pad
• Wall cavities
• Ductwork
• Insulation

✅ Destroys odor at the molecular level
ClO₂ breaks down the VOCs + uric acid that cause cat-urine odors.
No masking. No “lighter smell.”
Just neutralized odor.

✅ Safer for materials
Works without needing harsh concentrations that risk damaging electronics, finishes, or surfaces.

✅ Science-backed & trusted
ClO₂ is used for:
• Municipal water purification
• Hospitals
• Food processing
• Disaster response

If it’s trusted to disinfect drinking water →
It can handle a house.

⚖️ Ozone vs. ClO₂ (Simple Breakdown)

Pe*******on
• Ozone: Limited
• ClO₂: Deep into porous materials

Cat Urine (Uric Acid) Performance
• Ozone: Weak
• ClO₂: Strong

Odor Destruction
• Ozone: Often incomplete
• ClO₂: Neutralizes at the source

Material Safety
• Ozone: Can damage materials
• ClO₂: Safe when applied correctly

Health Considerations
• Ozone: Respiratory irritant
• ClO₂: Controlled + safe when properly used

Real-World Results
• Ozone: Often fails
• ClO₂: Proven daily

ClO₂ wins every category that matters.

🏡 The Outcome

After our treatment:
✅ Odor eliminated
✅ Home ready for showings
✅ Owner relieved
✅ Ozone → retired to the corner

Investors + flippers love this because:
No demo.
No carpet/pad/subfloor replacement.
No masking sprays.

Just results.

If you’ve tried ozone and still smell the problem…

You didn’t fail — the method did.

We fix what ozone can’t.
Every. Single. Week.
