What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Odor Removal and Deodorizing After Sewage Incidents?
This service is focused on sewer, sewage, and drain-related odors that linger after:
Sewer backups in bathrooms, basements, or utility rooms
Toilet overflows with contaminated water
Drain or main line backups that brought dirty water into the building
Category 2–3 plumbing events (greywater or black water)
We typically:
Confirm the plumbing problem is fixed and not still causing odors
Clean or re-clean affected hard surfaces where reasonable
Apply odor-control and deodorizing treatments targeted at sewage-related smells
Identify areas or materials (like carpet, pad, drywall, or cabinets) that may still be harboring odor and contamination and need more than deodorizing
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Plumbing + odor expertise: We focus on both the cause (pipes, drains, vents) and the smell left behind.
Sewage-specific focus: We deal with odors tied to backups, overflows, and drain incidents, not just general air freshening.
Works with cleanup and restoration: We can coordinate with mitigation/restoration contractors already on the job.
Honest expectations: We’ll tell you when odor treatment is enough and when materials must be removed or replaced.
Licensed & insured: Nevada License #0047021, trusted across the Las Vegas valley since 1991.

Common Situations Where Sewage Odor Removal Makes Sense
Weeks after a backup, the affected area still has a “sewer” or “musty” smell, even after basic cleaning.
A bathroom, laundry, or utility room was cleaned, but smells return when the HVAC or exhaust fan runs.
You’ve had sewer backup cleanup done, but want additional help with odors in high-use spaces.
A rental property or unit needs to be made presentable and comfortable after a sewage incident.
You’re working with an insurance claim or restoration contractor and need plumbing/odor support as part of the project.
Odor & Incident History Assessment
We discuss the original sewage incident, what cleanup has been done, and where and when odors are worst. Then we walk the property to identify plumbing-affected zones and materials that may be contributing.
Plumbing Check & Source Confirmation
We confirm the original plumbing problem is resolved and look for ongoing issues like slow drains, vent problems, or hidden leaks that may still be releasing sewer gas or moisture.
Targeted Cleaning of Hard Surfaces (as Needed)
Where appropriate, we re-clean and prep hard surfaces (floors, fixtures, accessible walls) in odor-affected areas so odor-control products can work more effectively.
Application of Odor-Control & Deodorizing Treatments
We apply odor-control and deodorizing products designed for use after sewage and drain incidents, focusing on plumbing-adjacent areas like bathrooms, kitchens, laundry rooms, and utility spaces.
Identify Materials Harboring Odor & Moisture
We look for porous or damaged materials—carpet, pad, baseboards, cabinetry, drywall—that may be holding odor and contamination and advise if removal or restoration is recommended.
Final Review, Recommendations & Documentation
We review what we did, what still may need restoration, and how to monitor and ventilate spaces during recovery. We can provide basic notes for property managers, restoration contractors, or insurers as needed.
What’s Included
A typical odor removal and deodorizing after sewage incidents visit may include:
Assessment of sewage incident history and current odor patterns
Basic plumbing checks to confirm no ongoing backups or leaks
Targeted cleaning of certain hard surfaces in odor-affected areas (where needed)
Application of odor-control and deodorizing treatments for sewage-related smells
Identification of materials likely holding odor and contamination that need further mitigation
Recommendations and notes for restoration, repairs, and future prevention
(Full demolition, structural drying, and rebuild are typically handled by restoration companies; we’ll let you know when that’s needed.)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Odor removal and deodorizing costs depend on:
Size and number of affected rooms
Severity and duration of the odor (fresh incident vs weeks or months later)
Type of materials involved: Mostly hard surfaces vs heavy involvement of carpet, pad, cabinets, or drywall
Plumbing work still needed: Simple verification vs additional repairs or vent work
After we assess the property, we’ll provide a clear estimate and explain what’s included, what’s optional, and what may require a separate restoration contractor.
Insurance & Claims Help
Sewage incidents and related odors often tie into cleanup, restoration, and plumbing repair claims.
Here’s how we can help on our side:
Provide invoices and notes documenting the original plumbing cause, odor conditions, and our deodorizing work.
Offer written estimates for any recommended plumbing repairs or upgrades to reduce future incidents.
When requested, communicate with your adjuster, property manager, or restoration company about the plumbing and odor aspects of the job.
(Coverage decisions are always up to your insurance company and policy; we don’t decide what is or isn’t covered.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Odor removal and deodorizing are powerful tools, but they have limits:
Deeply soaked porous materials: Carpet, pad, drywall, insulation, and wood-based cabinets can hold odors and contamination and often need removal and replacement, not just deodorizing.
Hidden moisture and contamination: Odor can persist if wall cavities, subfloors, or under-cabinet spaces remain wet or contaminated.
Active plumbing defects: If vents, traps, or broken pipes still allow sewer gas into the building, odors will keep returning until those are fixed.
Strong Category 3 events: Large, severe sewage losses almost always require full restoration and professional mitigation, with deodorizing as only one part.
We’ll be upfront about what odor removal can realistically achieve and when you need restoration, mitigation, or further plumbing work to fully solve the problem.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Odor removal and deodorizing costs depend on:
Size and number of affected rooms
Severity and duration of the odor (fresh incident vs weeks or months later)
Type of materials involved: Mostly hard surfaces vs heavy involvement of carpet, pad, cabinets, or drywall
Plumbing work still needed: Simple verification vs additional repairs or vent work
After we assess the property, we’ll provide a clear estimate and explain what’s included, what’s optional, and what may require a separate restoration contractor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will deodorizing make the smell disappear completely?
Often we can greatly reduce or eliminate sewage-related odors, but success depends on how much contamination remains in porous materials and whether any ongoing plumbing issues are present.
Do you just spray air freshener?
No. We focus on treating plumbing-affected areas and surfaces with appropriate odor-control and deodorizing products, not just masking odors in the air.
If my house still smells, does that mean it’s unsafe?
Not always—but persistent sewage odors usually mean something is still wet, contaminated, or open to sewer gas. We’ll help you understand where the risk is and what steps to take.
Can I do odor removal myself with store products?
You can improve things somewhat, but post-sewage odors often require professional products, techniques, and plumbing checks to be properly controlled.
Will you work with my restoration company?
Yes. We regularly coordinate with mitigation and restoration contractors, handling the plumbing and odor-control side while they manage drying, demolition, and rebuild.
