Soot Damage From Furnace Puff Back in Grayslake Home?

3/28/2023 (Permalink)

We are leaders in soot damage restoration services in Lake County.

If you have an oil-burning furnace that hasn’t been serviced lately, you may find your walls covered in soot from a furnace puff back. A severe puff back can send soot throughout your home or business, covering everything with oily soot. Our local team in Northwest Lake County cleans and restores properties compromised by furnace puff backs.

Furnace puff back symptoms:

·      Odors, noises, and soot around the boiler or furnace room

·      Visual signs of debris. The heating system needs to be cleaned and serviced if you see soot, rust flakes, and debris in the flue vent connector.

Factors that affect how far the soot can travel include:

• The connection between the heater and the building
• The layout of the building
• Open and closed doors
• The routing of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning ducts
