Urine Damage in House for Sale What You Need to Know
Are you trying to sell a home with urine odor problems? Or maybe you just bought a house, only to discover a strong smell of cat or dog urine? At P.O.R.S. we specialize in identifying and eliminating hidden pet odors that can make or break a real estate deal.
Whether it’s an obvious stench or something that creeps in after you get the keys, our expert odor inspection and remediation services help restore value to homes affected by urine contamination.
Our Inspection Process
Visual Assessment
We begin by examining the home for visible signs of damage—like stains, warping baseboards, or areas that may have been sealed or painted over.
UV Blacklight Scanning
Using industrial-grade UV blacklights, we detect urine stains that fluoresce under UV light, especially on carpets, subfloors, and baseboards.
Detailed Surface Evaluation
To uncover hidden urine that has wicked into drywall or soaked into concrete, we use moisture meters to locate damage invisible to the eye.
Damage Identification & Estimate
Once we understand the depth and spread of the odor contamination, we determine whether it’s surface-level or structural—and then provide an honest estimate for odor remediation.

Not always. Disclosure laws vary, and some sellers may not even realize there’s a hidden odor issue. That’s why a professional inspection before closing is so important for buyers.
