How Can a Seekonk commercial property owner Choose a Disaster Cleanup and Restoration company??

SERVPRO of The Attleboros mitigates fire, water, smoke, soot, and mold damage for your commercial property, like your apartment, restaurant, hospital, and school.

A puff back is when a boiler chamber or furnace explodes. Most puff backs occur in an oil-fired system, but some occur with gas systems which can be way more severe. A puff back can be caused by a break in the nozzle or some systematic error in the boiler chamber. Businesses need substantial hours of operation in order to drive business. We understand that, which is why we're dedicated to serving commercial property owners. If you are experiencing a puff back in your home or business, leave the affected area, since it's likely you'll breathe in smoke and soot if you stay. Seek safety in an unaffected area and call the professionals at SERVPRO.

Don't try to clean up soot and smoke damage after a puff back. You may feel the need to, which is understandable, but leave it to the restoration professionals. They have the technology and certification to clean your puff back damage right. 

Most puff backs are covered by insurance, but it is recommended you check with your insurance provider and adjuster for the actual cost of mitigation. 

Let us help you and try to make your day better.
