Oil Burner Puffback Causes Soot Damage Throughout Home

Puffbacks can occur suddenly and without warning in New Haven County homes. They are caused by a variety of reasons but ultimately the result is soot being blasted throughout a home- covering every service - from countertops to walls to your kids toys. A puffback leaves a fine layer of oil based soot on all of the surfaces of a home. This includes hard surfaces such as floors, walls and furniture as well as soft furnishings such as curtains, bedding, clothing and carpeting. In fact, because it is literally blasted throughout your house, the soot from a puffback manages to find its way into every nook and cranny.

When this local home had a puffback, the ceilings were heavily affected in addition to the rest of the home.The sticky substance left behind in a puffback cannot be cleaned up with water or household cleaners. Our professional restoration team uses advanced technology and dry cleaning method to remove the soot and tar from the surfaces of your home.
