What To Do After A Puffback
There are a few simple steps you can take after a furnace puffback to prevent further soot or smoke damage to your home:
Turn Off Your Heating System
This will prevent further puffbacks and stop soot and smoke from spreading around your home. Don't turn it back on or use it until you've been told it's safe to do so.
Call Your Insurance Company
Many times, the soot and smoke damage caused by a puffback in Florham Park is covered by your homeowner's insurance. This means that they will pay for puffback cleanup services, but will not cover the cost of repairing your furnace or boiler if needed.
Call An HVAC Technician
You'll want to have the problem which caused excess fuel to build up in the combustion chamber of your heating system fixed. If you don't have your furnace or boiler repaired after a puffback, it's likely to occur again.
Contact A Local Smoke Damage Restoration Company For Furnace Puffback Cleanup
While these companies usually provide a professional cleaning after a house fire, the damage resulting from a puffback is similar to a fire. This make fire damage restoration companies the best choice for removing the soot and smoke in your home.
What You Shouldn't Do After A Puffback
There are actually a few things you shouldn't do after a puffback in your home, such as trying to remove smoke and soot yourself, scrubbing walls, or cleaning fabric items.
You shouldn't do these things because:
- Scrubbing smoke and soot residues can further embed them into building materials
- Using the improper tools or chemicals for cleaning will make it harder for a puffback cleanup company to clean later
- Cleaning smoke-damaged fabrics improperly will result in having to throw them away
