Expert Odor Remediation in Portage County, OH

Odor remediation gets to the source of the smell rather than covering it up. At Tantrum Hygenics, we serve homeowners and property owners across Portage County and surrounding Northeast Ohio counties who are dealing with musty, sewage, or water-damage odors that air fresheners cannot touch. Portage County properties face Ohio's heavy rains, spring snowmelt, and seasonal flooding, all of which push moisture into basements, crawl spaces, walls, and subfloors. That trapped moisture feeds bacteria and microbial growth that produce the odors you can smell but cannot see. Our process starts by locating the odor source, not just treating the air. We treat affected materials directly, address contaminated surfaces, and use air purification to clear volatile compounds from the indoor environment. The result is a property that smells clean because the source has been removed, not masked. Tantrum Hygenics is a family-owned business built from the ground up, and we treat every property we work in the same way we would treat our own. Call us to get odor remediation scheduled for your Portage County home or property.

Odor Remediation FAQ

Common questions about odor remediation in Portage County, OH.

Yes, we remove musty odors from flooded basements throughout Portage County. We locate the moisture source first, then treat the affected materials and air to clear the smell at its origin.

Odor remediation can still be effective even after older water damage events in Stark County or Summit County homes. The key is identifying what the moisture has affected and treating those materials directly.

Water removal alone does not eliminate odors left behind in walls, subfloors, or crawl spaces. Odor remediation treats the contaminated materials that continue to produce the smell after drying.

The smell comes from bacteria and microbial growth that develop in damp materials like carpet, drywall, and wood. Homes across Medina County and Cuyahoga County are especially prone to this after basement flooding or pipe leaks.

Odor remediation focuses on eliminating the smell and treating contaminated surfaces, while mold remediation specifically addresses mold growth. In Trumbull County homes, both services are sometimes needed together depending on the extent of the damage.

If the odor returns after cleaning or comes from inside walls, subfloors, or a crawl space, professional remediation is the right step for your Portage County property. Surface cleaning cannot reach contamination embedded in building materials.

My sister and I called Jesse to remove some mold in a room in our basement, she did a great job as usual. She was very fast and efficient and professional. Jesse knows her stuff. I would definitely refer Jessie for any mold issues that you may have satisfaction guaranteed Vanessa Nash.

We called Tantrum Hygenics because of a mold smell in our camper. We had had the roof repaired, but the stain was visible, and the smell was still there. Jessie came out, looked at it and assured us she could take care of it. Next day, she was there and took care of it. NO more stain, no more smell. She did a fantastic job and quickly. Jessie was very professional and dedicated to taking care of our problem, and do kind. We have told family and friends what an amazing job she did. We highly recommend Tantrum Hygenics and will definitely use them again if necessary.

First of all, it took me WAY too long to get around to writing this review. I cannot begin to thank Jessie and Tantrum enough for making mold restoration and removal financially feasible. A healthy home makes all the difference! I had been putting off the mold restoration because I’m a mother of 4 kids and frankly, I’m not independently wealthy. Jessie came in and had a look at what was going on (I’m truly ashamed at how out of control the basement was). In 26 hours Tantrum completely changed that. There is no longer any black mold in the basement, and I can feel the difference. Fewer headaches, my nose does not run after recuperating laundry accumulated during my 3 day, 12-hour shift runs every other weekend. She came in and triple treated the basement and finished with a product called throrseal. The basement looks and smells fresh. Gone is the dingy, dusty, make me hate doing laundry smell. It is a shame that nationally, especially in a state like Ohio there are no national incentives to promote companies aiding in creating healthy homes. Despite this, Jessie’s goal is exactly that. On behalf of myself and my children, thank you!

I called due to a mold issue in my master bedroom closet. Jessica came the next day, inspected the area and explained the entire process that would take place. She is very conscious of minimizing the area that needs to be removed. Jessica and Trenton were both very pleasant, polite and careful while working on this project. I then had her inspect an area in a bathroom ceiling. After investigating, she noticed that a roof vent was not sealed properly and proceeded to fix that. I appreciate their professionalism and work on these two projects! I highly recommend Tantrum Hygenics!
