How AdvantaClean of Norcross and Buford Aids Johns Creek Homes with Water Damage and Malodors 

After water damage impacts your Johns Creek home, the biggest priority is extracting water and drying the space. But even after surfaces are dry, odors can linger, especially when moisture seeps into porous materials or microbial growth is present due to the damage. That's where ultra-low volume (ULV) fogging becomes a powerful tool. We use this method to support a more complete water mitigation outcome for our clients that eliminates water-related odors. 

A Deeper Look at ULV Fogging and How It Functions 

A ULV fogger is a specialized piece of equipment designed to disperse liquid deodorants or antimicrobials in the form of a very fine, water-based mist. The small size of these individual droplets allows the solution to suspend in air and penetrate difficult-to-reach areas such as behind baseboards, into fabrics, and around framing cavities. The machine uses air pressure to atomize the liquid and create consistent coverage without oversaturation that could otherwise contribute to secondary damages. This means we can effectively treat both the airspace and the contaminated surfaces with precision while carefully controlling the presence of moisture during restoration. 

How ULV Fogging Works with Water Restoration Tools 

ULV fogging is never used in isolation; it's one step in a layered odor control strategy. First, we remove unsalvageable materials and thoroughly clean the remaining surfaces using EPA-registered antimicrobial agents. HEPA-filtered air scrubbers are installed to capture particulate matter during demolition and drying. Containment can be established where necessary to minimize particles further. Once these elements are in place, ULV fogging helps to neutralize stubborn odors trapped in building materials. Scented granules and other odor counteractant solutions are available for tackling malodors specific to various surfaces and materials. 

Odor Control Works in Tandem with Other Water Restoration Services 

Our technicians prepare a property for ULV fogging with a comprehensive approach: 

  • Water extraction and moisture mapping using meters and thermal imaging to identify hidden damp zones. 

  • Dehumidification and air movement with low-grain refrigerant dehumidifiers and high-velocity air movers to dry materials deeply and strategically. 

  • Selective demolition of unsalvageable drywall, carpet, insulation, or cabinetry to stop ongoing odor generation. 

  • Antimicrobial surface treatments to clean and disinfect non-porous and semi-porous materials 

  • HEPA air scrubbing to remove airborne odors and debris before and after fogging application 

Effective odor remediation requires both source control and airborne particle treatment, the latter of which ULV fogging is particularly suited to handle.
