Where Fresh Air Meets Professional Insight

Professional Odour Removal • Indoor Air Reset • Healthy Home Services by iOnSight

Odours tell a story — and sometimes it’s a story you’d rather not share with buyers, tenants, or guests.

At iOnSight Property Inspections, we use scientific, controlled, inspection-grade ozone treatment and ULV mold & odour fogging to restore your home’s indoor atmosphere safely and effectively.

This page explains what ozone treatment is, how fogging works, what they can and cannot fix, and why iOnSight’s approach is superior to standard cleaning companies or DIY machines.

Pricing Varies from Room to Room to House

Use this as a guideline of typical pricing... Since each home is different a quote will be given for each specific request!

Each investigation call-out is $150 for the first hour. If you proceed with an Odour Remediation package within 15 days of the on-site quote, the $150 investigation fee will be fully credited toward the remediation cost.

• Ozone Lite (single-room): starting at $249

• Whole-home ozone treatment: starting at $649

• Odour-control fogging add-on: $199–$399

• Healthy Home IAQ Package: starting at $1,495

• Realtor & Property Manager Program: $349–$799

Why Choose iOnSight for Ozone & Fogging?

Most companies offering ozone or fogging are cleaning or restoration firms.
iOnSight approaches these services from a building-science and inspection perspective, giving you:

✔ A trained, nationally certified home inspector

You’re not hiring a “guy with a machine.”
You’re hiring a professional who evaluates hundreds of Alberta homes every year.

✔ Advanced diagnostic understanding

Odours often come from:

  • HVAC distribution

  • Hidden moisture

  • Air pressure differences

  • Crawlspaces

  • Incorrect HRV/ERV settings

  • Basement stack effect

  • Material off-gassing
    Understanding these is key to proper treatment.

✔ Premium commercial equipment (not consumer-grade)

Our equipment delivers controlled ozone concentrations, timed cycles, and regulated dissipation for maximum effectiveness and safety.

✔ Safety-first, code-informed protocol

Ozone is powerful — and needs to be respected.
We follow recognized guidelines from EPA, Health Canada, and CSA.

✔ Transparent reporting

Every job includes a Digital Odour Treatment Summary or a Healthy Home IAQ Report (if testing is included).

Our Process: Step-by-Step

1. Pre-Treatment Walkthrough

We assess:

  • Odour type

  • HVAC influence

  • Airflow pathways

  • Soft materials

  • Humidity levels

  • Potential contamination areas

2. Ozone Treatment

  • Industrial generators placed strategically

  • Timed cycles based on volume (cubic ft)

  • Property fully vacated

  • Sealing of interior spaces

  • External warning signage

3. Ventilation Cycle

We manage dissipation time using:

  • mechanical ventilation

  • natural air exchange

  • airflow balancing

4. Fogging (if selected)

Mold/odour-neutralizing mist applied to:

  • carpets

  • fabrics

  • basements

  • soft surfaces

  • crawlspaces

5. Post-Treatment Verification

Depending on service level:

  • Odour assessment

  • IAQ follow-up test

  • Recommendations for long-term odour prevention

What Is Ozone Treatment?

Ozone (O₃) is a highly reactive form of oxygen that neutralizes odour-causing molecules at a chemical level.

When applied in controlled concentrations, ozone:

  • Breaks apart smoke odours (cigarette, cannabis, fire residue)

  • Deactivates biological odours (pet dander, urine, bacteria)

  • Reaches deep into soft materials

  • Treats entire-room air volumes

  • Leaves no residue — only oxygen (O₂)

Ozone is used by disaster-restoration companies, industrial sanitation teams, and environmental specialists… but effectiveness and safety depend on proper application.

What Ozone Does Not Do

Ozone does NOT:

  • Remove visible mold

  • Dry out wet materials

  • Fix water infiltration

  • Remove pet urine physically

  • Replace cleaning or remediation

  • Work in occupied spaces

Any company claiming ozone “kills mold” or “treats mold infestations” is misrepresenting it.

Ozone helps with odour control, not structural or biological remediation.

What Is Mold & Odour Fogging?

Fogging involves applying a ULV (Ultra-Low-Volume) mist of a safe, odour-neutralizing and mold-inhibiting solution throughout a room or home.

Fogging:

  • Reaches fabrics, carpets, drapery, furniture

  • Treats porous surfaces ozone cannot fully penetrate

  • Helps reduce mustiness in basements

  • Is highly effective after moisture issues have been corrected

  • Enhances ozone results for persistent odours

iOnSight uses products that are non-toxic, plant-based or professional-grade depending on the odour source.

When to Use Ozone Alone vs. Ozone + Fogging

Use Ozone Alone When:

  • Cigarette smoke odours

  • Cannabis odours

  • Light mustiness

  • Pet odours in general areas

  • Vacant homes with stale air

Use Ozone + Fogging When:

  • Heavy or long-term pet urine odours

  • Carpeted basements with mustiness

  • Odours trapped in fabrics or soft surfaces

  • Homes with older building materials that hold scent

  • Estate cleanouts

  • Persistent “old house smell”

The combination provides the most comprehensive odour reset available.

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Testing Option

For homeowners or buyers concerned about allergies, sensitivities, or hidden problems, iOnSight offers:

  • VOC testing

  • Humidity evaluation

  • Temperature differentials

  • Particulate assessments

  • Moisture scanning (optional)

When paired with ozone/fogging, you receive a before-and-after comparison showing measurable improvement.

This is a service almost no ozone company provides.

Why Odours Happen: A Quick Education

Odours often stem from:

  1. Porous materials

    1. Carpets, drywall, subfloor, fabrics, insulation, and wood absorb odours over time.

  2. Airflow & pressure differences

    1. Homes “breathe” — stack effect pulls basement air upward, spreading odours.

  3. HVAC system contamination

    1. Return air ducts and furnace interiors spread odours through supply vents.

  4. Moisture & humidity imbalances

    1. Musty odours often indicate:

    2. high humidity

    3. poor ventilation

    4. cold surfaces meeting warm air

    5. minor condensation cycles

    6. (not necessarily mold, but often misinterpreted as such)

  5. Occupant lifestyle factors

    1. Long-term cooking, smoking, pets, or scented products soak into materials.

  6. Vacant-home stagnation

    1. Homes closed for months or years develop stale smells from lack of circulation.

iOnSight evaluates all of these factors before choosing the right treatment.

Limitations & Honest Expectations

We believe in transparent, realistic outcomes:

Ozone/fogging will NOT solve:

  • Active mold growth

  • Hidden water leaks

  • Animal nests

  • Rodent infestations

  • Sewer gas issues

  • Chemical spills

  • Smoke damage that requires restoration

But ozone/fogging WILL:

  • Dramatically reduce odours

  • Improve freshness

  • Restore neutral air

  • Enhance buyer appeal

  • Provide a cleaner-smelling environment

  • Complement cleaning/remediation work
