🌬️ Ozone Treatment & Odour Control Fogging

Professional Odour Neutralization for Alberta Homes • By iOnSight Property Inspections

Unwanted odours can change the way a home feels, reduce buyer confidence, or affect your comfort in a newly purchased property.
iOnSight provides safe, controlled ozone deodorization and ULV odour-control fogging designed to refresh indoor environments and neutralize stubborn odours throughout the home.

As certified home inspectors, we approach odour challenges using building-science principles, ensuring your treatment is effective, safe, and thoroughly documented.

Why Choose iOnSight? – An Inspector’s Advantage

Most odour services are run by cleaning companies or generic restoration outfits.
iOnSight is different:

✔ Certified professional home inspector

You benefit from experience gained from hundreds of Alberta homes, including airflow behavior, HVAC influence, and material absorption.

✔ Science-based odour analysis

Before treatment, we assess:

  • Airflow pathways

  • Pressure differentials (stack effect)

  • Moisture levels and humidity concerns

  • Odour concentration zones

  • Influence of HVAC circulation

  • Porous materials (carpets, fabrics, subfloor, drapery)

✔ Industrial-grade equipment

We use commercial ozone generators and ULV foggers — not consumer-level tools — ensuring controlled, safe, and effective odour neutralization.

✔ Transparent digital reporting

Every service includes a Digital Odour Treatment Summary, and advanced packages include IAQ reports.

✔ Safe, standardized protocols

All work follows published guidance from
EPA, Health Canada, ASHRAE, and Alberta Health.

🧪 What Ozone Treatment Is

Ozone is a highly reactive form of oxygen (O₃) that neutralizes odour molecules at the chemical level.
It is widely used in:

  • Smoke odour neutralization

  • Commercial sanitizing

  • Disaster restoration

  • Rental turnovers

  • Long-vacant home resets

When applied in a vacated and controlled environment, ozone reaches deep into:

  • Carpets

  • Fabrics

  • Subfloor

  • Wood

  • Drywall surfaces

  • HVAC return pathways

and helps break down odour-causing compounds.

⚠️ What Ozone Does Not Do

To ensure full compliance with insurance and industry standards:

Ozone treatment does NOT:

❌ identify biological contaminants
❌ diagnose or confirm mold
❌ replace remediation
❌ remove visible staining
❌ correct structural moisture issues
❌ perform cleaning or sanitation

Ozone neutralizes odours only.

It is not a biological or chemical assessment tool.

🌀 What Is Odour Control Fogging?

Fogging involves applying a ULV (Ultra-Low-Volume) mist of a safe, odour-neutralizing and mold-inhibiting solution throughout a room or home. What sets us apart is that we use a hospital-grade, botanical disinfectant cleaner that kills over 99.99% of bacteria, viruses, and mold - it is safe for use on food contact surfaces and is approved by Health Canada and the EPA. This might be more expensive than our competitors, but we think your home is worth it!

Fogging helps freshen:

  • Porous materials (carpets, drapes, fabrics)

  • Moisture-prone areas (basements, utility rooms)

  • Long-closed homes

  • Rooms with persistent odours

  • Areas where stale or musty odours accumulate

Fogging is not mold treatment.
It does not identify or correct mold or contaminants.
Its purpose is strictly deodorization.

Fogging is most effective when paired with ozone for deep odour reset.

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

Ozone Alone (recommended when):

  • Smoke odours (cigarette/cannabis)

  • General stale or “old house” odours

  • Light pet odours

  • Homes with neutral furnishings

  • Vacant homes before listing or move-in

Ozone + Fogging (recommended when):

  • Odours strongly absorbed into carpets/fabrics

  • Persistent pet or occupancy odours

  • Stale basement odours

  • Long-vacant or estate properties

  • Rental turnover units with stubborn odours

Let our assessment guide you to the right choice - the first time!

🌡️ Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Testing Option

For clients who want measurable data, we offer IAQ testing alongside odour treatment.

We measure:

  • VOC levels

  • Humidity

  • Indoor particulates

  • Temperature/humidity differentials

  • Ventilation performance indicators

This gives buyers, sellers, landlords, and property managers objective insight into indoor air conditions.

Important: IAQ testing does not test for mold or contaminants.This is a service almost no ozone company provides.

🛠️ Why Odours Happen: A Quick Education

Odours often originate from predictable building-science sources. Odours often stem from:

1. Porous materials absorbing odours

Carpets, drywall, underlay, wood, furniture, and fabrics hold odours long-term.

2. Moisture-prone areas

Basements, utility rooms, cold corners, and poorly ventilated zones can develop stale smells.

3. Airflow & pressure differences

Homes naturally “breathe.”
Stack effect pulls lower-level air upward, spreading odours.

4. HVAC influence

Return ducts and furnaces redistribute odours through the home.

5. Vacancy & stagnation

Homes closed for long periods often develop stale or “closed up” odours.

6. Occupancy-related odours

Pets, cooking, smoking, fragrances, and lifestyle patterns produce lingering smells.

Ozone and fogging work best when addressing these odour-related issues.

🧼 Our Process: Step-by-Step

1. Pre-Treatment Assessment

We examine airflow, odour zones, HVAC factors, moisture readings, and porous materials.

2. Ozone Deodorization

Commercial ozone machines run through a controlled treatment cycle.
Property must remain fully vacated.

3. Ventilation Cycle

We perform an air exchange to ensure safe re-entry.

4. Odour-Control Fogging (Optional)

ULV mist is applied to help neutralize odours trapped in surfaces.

5. Post-Treatment Summary

Clients receive documentation and optional IAQ data.

📌 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
