Smoke and Soot Damage from Furnace Puff Backs in Macomb Township?

3/21/2023 (Permalink)

We clean and restore furnace puff back damage in Macomb County.

If you have an oil or gas furnace, boiler, or water heater, you may experience puff back issues. These types of appliances also require more frequent maintenance as improper maintenance can lead to ignition problems that can cause a puff back. Our local Northeast Macomb Township team is trained to inspect and clean heating and ventilation systems.

Puff backs from oil-burning furnaces and appliances are more damaging because oil creates more soot than gas. A severe puff back can send soot throughout your entire home or business and can cause damage to heater components. Factors that affect how far the soot can travel include:

• The connection between the heater and the building
• The layout of the building
• Open and closed doors
• The routing of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning ducts

Cleaning methods

We pretest every surface and item before cleaning to ensure we use the most effective cleaning method.

• Dry Cleaning - used for cleaning light residues or to pre-clean prior to wet cleaning
• Wet Cleaning - an effective cleaning method for removing moderate to heavy residues
• Spray and Wipe - effective for items that can’t withstand wet cleaning
• Foam Cleaning - used for upholstery fabrics that might shrink or bleed if wet cleaned
• Abrasive Cleaning - involves agitation of the surface being cleaned
• Immersion Cleaning - contents are dipped into a bath of the cleaning product
