The byproducts of a fire, including soot, smoke, and oily residue, are very dangerous elements to have in your home. Their corrosive nature makes them damaging to household surfaces, furniture, and personal belongings and they are also toxic which means they can have detrimental effects on your health.
What Happens During a Puffback
There doesn’t have to be a fire for smoke and soot to end up in your home. In the northeastern U.S., you can get smoke and soot in your home from a furnace puffback. When a furnace puffback occurs, finite soot and debris are blown throughout the property and onto the surrounding walls, ceiling, and objects. The soot and smoke from a puffback need to be cleaned up right away to salvage the affected materials and prevent them from spreading further, such as through the air ducts by the forced hot air/cooling system.
Water Damage Drying Services provides puffback cleanup services in Providence, RI. Our technicians will arrive as soon as possible to stop the spread of the damage and we will work diligently to get the damaged areas restored to their original condition.
Damage from Furnace Puffbacks
Oil furnace systems are at risk for a puffback when there is a problem with the ignition or fuel balance within the system. These issues will cause a backfire within the system, pushing smoke and soot throughout the room, and settle on the surrounding walls and furnishings.
A wide range of items and surfaces in your home, including woodwork, drywall, furniture, curtains, carpeting and personal items can experience serious damage from smoke and soot. If these objects and surfaces are not quickly cleaned and restored, the smoke and soot can cause permanent damage.
You should not try to clean up finite soot or smoke residue with over the counter cleaning products. You will only spread the stains and make the damage worse. The damage from soot and smoke needs to be cleaned up by trained professionals who have the right cleaning products and equipment to do it effectively.
