Odor Removal in Richmond, VA
Richmond is where Re-Freshen has done more odor, mold, and germ work than anywhere else. From century-old row houses in The Fan and Church Hill to student rentals around VCU and newer townhomes in Scott's Addition, RVA properties hold onto cigarette smoke, pet odors, river-bottom humidity, and hidden mold that surface cleaning never fixes. Headquartered just down Midlothian Turnpike, we answer fast, test honestly, and eliminate problems at the source with certified, environmentally and pet-safe technology. Odor inspections are always free.

Why Richmond Homes Get These Problems
Richmond's historic housing stock is beautiful and stubborn. Brick row houses in The Fan, Church Hill, and Jackson Ward sit on English basements and shared walls that trap moisture, and James River bottomland humidity works into crawl spaces from Manchester to Northside all summer long.
Add one of the largest rental markets in Virginia, with VCU turnover leaving smoke and pet odors baked into carpet and plaster, plus plenty of flipped homes where fresh paint is hiding an old problem, and you have a city that keeps our testing equipment busy.
We inspect, test, and eliminate the problem at its source. And because we don't sell mold remediation, our answers are unbiased, in plain English.
