Turn to EnviroShield for a Reliable Creosote Odor Removal Method for Your Home or Workplace in Houston, TX

In Houston and other coastal communities in Texas, it’s not unusual to find pier pilings, dock supports, and utility poles treated with a chemical mixture known as creosote to prevent wood rot and termite infestation. Sometimes these treated wood materials find their way into residential or commercial construction, either to save money on building costs or for the rustic appeal they may provide. Unfortunately, though, creosote-treated wood can emit malodorous vapors for decades, leading property owners to become almost desperate in their search for a quick and convenient creosote odor removal method.

In the past, the only way for property owners to address the stench was to painstakingly scrape, sand, and refinish the affected wood, a task that could take weeks to complete. And even then, the creosote odor, often described as similar to the smell of mothballs, might linger.

Fortunately, EnviroShield has come up with a better way to achieve successful removal of creosote odor: CreoShield™. This innovative coating, available exclusively from EnviroShield, is not only convenient but also effective at eliminating the obnoxious smell of creosote by encapsulating the fumes emanating from the wood.

Dramatically Reduces Harmful Creosote Emissions

In addition to eliminating the creosote odor, CreoShield™ can also dramatically reduce the potential for adverse health effects that experts attribute to human exposure to creosote. These health effects include a variety of respiratory illnesses, skin rashes, potential eye damage, and even a risk of developing cancer. Through encapsulation, our proprietary coating can reduce the emissions from creosote-treated wood to levels that are safe for human exposure.

Additional Benefits of Using CreoShield™ for Creosote Odor Removal

  • Minimal preparation – Only a power washing of the area to be treated is needed before CreoShield™ is applied.
  • Time savings – When applied by one of our approved Applicators, the treatment process usually takes only a day or two, which translates into much less disruption of your home or work routine than scraping and repainting the affected area.
