Puffback Cleanup & Restoration
What is a puffback?
A puffback is a misfiring of your furnace, which results in an explosion similar to the backfiring of a car. This can lead to soot covering your furniture, floors, ceilings and any other parts of your home close to your exhaust system. If your home relies on a forced heating system, soot can cover all areas that your heating system typically reaches.
Puffbacks typically occur when the oil burner does not immediately ignite, causing a buildup within your furnace that can lead to an explosion. Older furnaces and older homes are at more at risk than newer systems.
Why Are Puffbacks Dangerous For Your Home?
In the most extreme cases, puffbacks can cover your home in soot. Soot is not only unsightly and difficult to clean up, but it also has the potential to cause health problems. Most notably, respiratory issues for you and your family. The soot caused by puffbacks can also damage valuable property and belongings
