How To Remove Smell Of Animal Feces
Im looking at this house that needs rehabbing. Part of the roof has collapsed, and so there is water on the floors. Unfortunately, there is dog/cat feces everywhere and its just a big puddle of water and feces. Quite disgusting. Im wondering if I ever will be able to rid that house of the smell. The floors are wood throughout.
Run the numbers assuming you have to pull out the floors. See if the deal stacks up and try to buy it at such a value.
Then look for other options to remove the odor. In past posts there have been some very specific suggestions as to a chemical process and an ozone treatment. Based on the comments both appear to completely solve pet odor issues. One word of caution is the prior posts did not directly deal with standing water from no roof though once was about a basement flooding issue.
See if you can find the posts by searching. Not sure which exact forum had the details.
I do remember that CommercialKing was one person who had prior experience and therefore you could search for posts with his details.

Ok, thanks for the advice !
I rehabbed a home with pet smell in the floor. The smell was in the plywood. The carpet man suggested painting the floor with KILZ or old based paint. The paint seals the smell into the wood. I painted all the rooms in the home with KILZ. after the KILZ dried the smell was gone.
If you have wet spots when you remove the carpet put salt on the spots to dry up the wet spots. the salt pulls the dampness from the wood. The salt will turn hard and yellow sweep it up and treat again until the salt does not harden.
We used it on the house we live in now and we have no more smell from the pets.
Its a cheap fix and may be worth a try. I f you still have the smell, your not out too much money. I suggest trying one room at a time. Before replacing the plywood.
Ill definitely have to give that a try, cheap=good
We fixed a house that had a lot of urine that had soaked through the carpet and into the plywood floors. (It had all dried, but it was still pretty smelly.) After removing the carpet we put some liquid pet odor remover on the puddle stains. Some areas needed only one application some areas needed up to three applications. There was no foul scent after that.
