Cold weather is upon us sooner than expected this year.  Sadly it's time to talk about furnaces, preparing our homes for winter and similar matters.  We here at SERVPRO have a brochure to discuss winter related topics.  Stop by our office or ask your SERVPRO professional visiting your home or office for one of these brochures.  Or follow our blog in the coming weeks and we will be sharing information from this brochure.  

Today we'll talk about "puffbacks".  "A puffback is a messy furnace malfunction that occurs when an oil burner backfires, sending soot throughout your home or business.  It can happen all at once, covering an interior in grimy soot, or a puffback can leak soot particles more gradually.  Equipped with the training, tools and experience to quickly and efficiently clean and restore your home or business, SERVPRO of Appleton will help make your puffback "Like it never even happened."
