Puff Back?

3/16/2016 (Permalink)

What is a puffback? A puffback occurs when a furnace has malfunctioned where a small and confined explosion has occurred in the burner chamber sending soot and smoke throughout the home. The soot will attached itself to walls, ceilings, upholstery carpet and many other items within the home making it difficult to clean.  The soot travels throughout the house which you can see in this picture. SERVPRO of E.Hamilton/Fairfield is always here to help with the cleanup!

In terms of preventing puff backs it may be helpful to inspect your furnace every so often to eliminate the buildup of debris and/or contact your heating company if you begin to experience any sign of soot in proximity to your furnace.
