Puff Back Covers Home in Soot

This This home experienced a puff back, covering their walls and furniture in soot. A puff back is a misfiring in the furnace that can send soot throughout your home, covering drapes, bedding, furniture, cabinets, and walls. Puff backs occur when an oil-burning furnace doesn't ignite when it should and oil vapors build up in the ignition chamber,causingan explosion when the igniter finally triggers. It requires extensive cleaning and restoration in addition to repairs on your heating system.
