Puff Back Cleanup Services in Rockwall, TX

What is a Puff Back?

As oil furnaces age, they become less efficient. Either a leak in the oil system or a clogged oil burner nozzle can create the potential for a puff back. This problem happens when the furnace doesn’t ignite or there are built-up oil vapors in the ignition chamber. The result: an explosion! Most of the time, a puff back is not dangerous because your furnace contains the explosion. However, it blows soot and other debris throughout the ventilation system and even into other rooms, if you have a forced air heating system. For prompt and efficient puff back remediation, schedule an appointment today.

The Best Way to Remove Soot

After a puff back, you’re left with a mess to clean up. Puff backs leave sticky, dirty residue that is very hard to clean. You need professional restoration cleaners to deal with the dirty job. We do not recommend trying to do it yourself. You could actually make more of a mess if you use the wrong cleaning products or methods. Our IICRC-certified crew uses special puff back soot cleanup methods and chemicals to ensure a perfectly clean business or home. We know exactly how to remove soot to ensure a clean, dry, and fresh-smelling place again.

Even the smallest amount of soot can impact your health and indoor comfort. That’s because soot particles spread throughout the air, resting on walls, surfaces, and in air ducts. Soot removal with a sponge and soap doesn’t always work. Before you start cleaning, turn to our certified team for thorough and accurate soot puff back cleanup.
