Why can't you quote pet odor over the phone?

Because we'd be guessing — and you'd be paying for that guess. Severity ranges from one accident spot to a saturated pad across multiple rooms. We have to see it under blacklight to give you an honest price.

Why do you use a blacklight?

Pet urine is invisible under normal light. Under blacklight, it glows. Most companies skip this step, clean directly over the contamination, and spread it across the whole carpet. Then they mask the smell with deodorant — which lasts a few weeks until the next hot day. We do it the right way the first time.

Why does my house only smell sometimes?

Pet urine and microbiology oils only off-gas when heat or humidity activates them. The contamination is in the carpet pad, the walls, and the doorjambs year-round — the weather just makes it noticeable. That's why a house can smell fine in spring and unbearable in July. Treating the source means no future weather event can trigger it again.

Can you really clean smells out of the walls?

Yes. Dogs and cats leave microbiology oils on every vertical surface they brush against — walls, doors, doorjambs, the lower halves of couches and curtains. Most homeowners never connect those surfaces to the smell because they're invisible until heat or humidity activates them. We treat the surfaces at dog-height during pet odor jobs so the activation cycle gets fully broken.

Pad replacement is expensive. Spiker only recommends it when it's the only honest answer.

Light-to-moderate contamination → backing-level flush. Severe contamination + crystallized old deposits → pad replacement. Subfloor contamination → full subfloor protocol.
