How to clean up a Puffback
Cleaning up after a puff back is no small task—it’s a specialized process due to the oily, sticky soot that gets blasted throughout the property. You should use a licensed restoration company like American Restoration Solutions that has the training and experience with dealing with all types of Puffbacks in New Jersey.

Here’s a breakdown of how American Restoration Solutions typically handle it:
Puffback Cleanup Process
1. Initial Safety Steps
Shut off the heating system immediately to prevent further damage.
If you think there is still smoke or carbon monoxide risk, evacuate and call emergency services.
2. Damage Documentation. This is one of the most important steps if you want your insurance company to pay for the puffback cleanup and all the damage associated with the puffback
We will take photos and videos of soot damage for insurance claims.
Some of the affected areas we will look to clean up or if necessary, put aside for your insurance company to replace. This will include walls, ceilings, vents, furniture, and personal items. Clothing and textiles can usually be cleaned. Soft goods like mattresses and couches will probably need to be replaced.
