The Best Approach to Creosote Odor Removal for Home & Business Owners in Tampa, FL

If you’re living or working in a building that was constructed using creosote-treated wood, there’s little wonder that you’re searching for a speedy, reliable way to achieve removal of the obnoxious odor that creosote can emit. In Tampa and many other Florida communities, a chemical mixture known as creosote has been widely used as a wood preservative for utility poles, railroad ties, dock pilings, and even the support poles of elevated homes in flood-prone areas, and that creosote-treated wood can give off an obnoxious smell for decades. Unfortunately, this wood is sometimes recycled for use in residential and commercial construction, and the results can be quite unpleasant – even hazardous – for human occupants. For example, human exposure to creosote emissions can lead to respiratory illnesses, skin rashes, and eye damage. Government agencies have also determined that creosote emissions can potentially cause cancer.

EnviroShield Has an Effective and Convenient Approach to Creosote Odor Removal

For many years, the only way to get rid of creosote odors in your home or workplace was to painstakingly scrape and sand away the top layers of the creosote-treated timbers and then apply a coating of shellac. This method was not only time-consuming and potentially expensive, but it also frequently didn’t work. The acrid smell, often described as similar to that of mothballs, would return.
