Hey all.

Please help. Long story short, I'm a non professional landlord who rented cheaply to friends​​​ for a few years that I trusted too much. Took control of the house recently and it is completely urine soaked. Im talking SOAKED. Everything in the house smelled like heavy hot piss.

3 dumpsters later, the house is empty. Ripped out lvp, underlayment, carpet and padding, trim, doors. Ripped out entire bath. Tossed all appliances. Cleaned the walls and subfloor heavily. Scraped and cleaned entire basement concrete. Threw $300 worth of enzymes down on subfloor, concrete and base of drywall over 3 separate treatments (nature's miracle) Threw zinsser (oil based) down on all subfloor, concrete, first 6 inches of all drywall. 2 coats. Ran an ozone. Cleaned all the windows, kitchen counters, sanded cabinets. Etc. Vacuumed the vents, cleaned the immediate within arms reach in all vents with cleaner. Replaced air filter 2x.

Went from a 100% to a 20% piss smell. But still has that 20% piss smell. Ideas? I know I should just replace all drywall and subfloor but im not a pro landlord and I rented super cheaply, so I'm not made of money to just replace every single thing.

Could really use help with someone who has dealt with this before. What am I missing? ​

Split level. 4 br. 1 bath. 1800 sq ft. ​
