What You Should Do After A Puffback

After a puffback in your home or business, there are steps you can take to prevent further property damage.

• Do NOT clean soot and smoke yourself - Incorrectly cleaning soot and smoke damage makes the problem worse. Scrubbing walls, washing them, or washing fabric items yourself will only make it harder and more costly for proper restoration.
• Avoid touching affected surfaces - The oils from your skin on on soot or smoke residues can make them worse and spread the particles around your home.
• Turn off the heating system & have it repaired - To prevent further soot and smoke damage, turn off your heating system and don't use it again until it has been repaired and cleaned.
• File an insurance claim - Puffback cleanup services are usually covered by your insurance company when your furnace misfires.
• Contact a local puffback cleanup company - SERVPRO of Greater Hunterdon County can cleanup after a puffback in your Flemington home. As fire and smoke damage restoration specialists, our team is properly trained and equipped to handle your soot cleanup.
