Smoke odor traveling between shared-wall units
Why it happens here
Calle Bilbao condos share walls and utility chases. Smoke from a fire in one unit travels through gaps around plumbing and wiring into the neighboring unit. The odor can show up days later, even if the neighbor did not see any smoke.
Our approach
We inspect both sides of every shared wall with a thermal imaging camera. If smoke crossed over, we clean and deodorize the neighboring unit too. We use negative air machines and air scrubbers to pull the particles out of both units at the same time.
