What To Do After A Furnace Puffback
You may not realize there are steps you should and shouldn’t take to ensure your damages don’t get worse after a puffback:
- Do not use your heating system until it has been fixed by an HVAC company, or you may continue to spread smoke and soot throughout your property.
- If you have a forced air heating system, you need duct cleaning before using it to ensure lingering smoke and soot is not sent through your property.
- Do not try to clean smoke and soot yourself - This can embed smoke particles further into building materials and make it harder to clean.
- Do not use household cleaning solutions on affected areas, as it can make the smoke damage worse.
