Puff Back Cleaning
Whether you have a hot water heating systems, gas furnace, or oil furnace, there's always a chance for puff back. However, it is most common with an oil furnace heating system. Puff back occurs when there's a misfiring in the furnace, causing soot to spread into your home, covering your furniture, drapery, walls, ceilings, and everything else. The soot coverage may range from a light dusting to a more concentrated coverage. Though it may be tempting to want to clean the soot, it's better left for the professionals. This soot not only is extremely messy and has a strong odor, but its contents can also be carcinogenic, therefore needs to be thoroughly cleaned and deodorized. Kentucky Disaster Restoration, LLC has the manpower and equipment to get you back to normal, soot-free, in no time.
