Soot Damage

Puff Backs are a common source of soot damage in homes and businesses and occur when the oil burner backfires. Soot is disbursed throughout the building. Damage is generally heavier near the source, but this is not always the case. Improper cleaning can grind soot into walls or fixtures making redecoration necessary. Call a professional to insure proper cleaning and prevent further damage by tracking and drifting of soot.

COMMON TYPES OF SOOT DAMAGE:

FURNACE MALFUNCTIONS
CLOSED FIREPLACE FLUE

Mold Remediation

"THE KEY TO MOLD CONTROL IS MOISTURE CONTROL"
United States Environmental Protection Agency

Experts agree that it takes approximately 48-72 hours for mold to develop AFTER a water damage event.

QUICK RESPONSE after a WATER LOSS will help minimize damage and the chance that mold will take hold.
