Soot Puffback Cleaning in Staten Island and Brooklyn, NY
Soot is a dangerous element that can cause damage to your property and put your health at risk. It typically affects homes as a result of a fire, but it can also damage your home if you experience a furnace puffback. Furnace puffbacks blow soot and smoke into your home through the vents of the HVAC system and it will settle on the walls, ceilings, and furnishings near the vent. Soot is corrosive and toxic which means it can cause significant damage to the affected surfaces and materials if it is not cleaned up properly. It is important to call for help immediately after a puffback because the damage the soot causes may become permanent without quick cleaning, and the soot and residue will continue to spread throughout your home through the HVAC system.
ServiceMaster Restoration by Complete provides soot puffback cleaning services in Staten Island and Brooklyn, NY to reverse the effects of soot damage caused by a furnace puffback. We use advanced cleaning methods and products to clean and restore surfaces and objects affected by soot, smoke, and residue.
Damage from Furnace Puffbacks
The oil furnace systems that are common in the northeast U.S. can experience a puffback if an ignition issue causes an explosion within the furnace. When this occurs, soot, residue, and smoke are released into the HVAC system where they can travel throughout your home and out the vents. As these materials exit the vents, they will settle on nearby walls, ceilings, furnishings, drapes, and other objects. Common building materials like wood and drywall as well as various furnishings may sustain significant damage from soot and residue. If these materials are not cleaned properly right away, the damage will become permanent.
It is best to let a professional handle the cleanup of finite soot and residue because no available cleaning products can remove soot effectively. If you attempt to clean it yourself, you will likely make the mess worse. Our professionals use the proper cleaning products to restore the damage from soot and residue and remove lingering smoke odors.
