Bemidji, Grand Rapids & Hibbing Removes Smoke, Soot, Grease & Other Damage from Puff Backs

You’ve probably heard the story about the homeowner who didn’t take care of a leaky roof when it wasn’t raining because there were no problems but can’t do anything when it was raining because it was too wet. We think of this story at Bemidji, Grand Rapids & Hibbing because furnace maintenance is the same; when you’re not using it, there’s no reason to check its status, but when you are using it, you don’t have time for an inspection. Clogged burners or ventilation exchanges or other problems can, alas, lead to puff backs, where the oil burner backfires and shoots smoke and soot into your home. Smoke & soot are corrosive, greasy, and foul-smelling, and the particles can go everywhere that air circulates. They can even work into drywall, fabrics, and some kinds of wood. Bemidji, Grand Rapids & Hibbing is Here to Help® restore your home to pre-damage functioning regardless of the extent of the damage or the time that you call; our emergency response teams are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year; reach us at 218-999-9799 for accredited, award-winning, experienced cleaning, odor elimination, and other property restoration services.

Smoke and soot can be deceptive. One of our clients in Calumet reported that they thought they had cleaned one wall of the debris, but noticed it becomes stained again as they started cleaning another. That’s because the particles travel on air currents and through the air vents/ducts. Our highly skilled team members track down all the smoke, soot, and grease to ensure that what gets clean will stay clean.
