Creosote Buildup in Chimney Causes Fire Damage in New Haven Home?

3/19/2024 (Permalink)

We are leaders in fire damage restoration services in Macomb County.

Our local Northeast Macomb Township teams restore fire damage caused by heating equipment every winter in New Haven. Creosote buildup in a chimney is a potentially dangerous and common issue that can lead to fire damage. Creosote is a black, tar-like substance that forms when wood or other organic fuels are burned in a fireplace or wood-burning stove. It consists of unburned wood particles, tar, and other chemicals that are released during combustion.

As hot gases and smoke rise to the chimney, they cool down and condense on the inner walls of the flue. Over time, these condensed particles accumulate and harden, forming creosote deposits. There are three main types of creosote:

Stage 1: A soft and flaky substance that is relatively easy to remove.

Stage 2: A thicker and more tar-like creosote that can be harder to clean and is more prone to ignition.

Stage 3: A hard, shiny, and extremely combustible substance that poses the greatest fire risk.

The danger of creosote buildup lies in its highly flammable nature. When the temperature inside the chimney reaches a certain point, it can ignite creosote deposits, leading to a chimney fire. These fires burn extremely hot and can cause extensive damage to the chimney structure and nearby combustibles, resulting in a house fire.

We restore fire damage 24 hours a day in Macomb County.

Our local Northeast Macomb Township teams have been restoring fire damage in Macomb Township for many years. Cooking fires remain the leading cause of home fire deaths in the United States. Here are some safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association for safely operating an air fryer:

Air Fryers

• Give your air fryer enough space. The air vents release heat and need airflow.
• Do not leave the home when using the air fryer.
• Make sure you clean grease and food debris after every use. Unplug and allow to cool completely before cleaning.

Key Safety Tips

• Always use cooking equipment, like air fryers, slow cookers, electric skillets, hot plates, griddles, etc., that are listed by a qualified testing laboratory.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on where and how to use appliances.
• Remember to unplug all appliances when not in use.
• Check cords regularly for damage. Do not use any appliance with a damaged cord.

What Are Some Common Causes of Fire Damage During the Winter in New Haven?

12/19/2023 (Permalink)

We respond to fire damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Macomb County.

Our local Northeast Macomb Township team is a trusted leader in fire damage restoration services in New Haven. During the winter months, certain household appliances can pose a fire hazard if not used or maintained properly. Here are three common household appliances that can potentially cause fire damage:

Electric Blankets: Electric blankets are used to provide extra warmth while sleeping during cold nights. If electric blankets are old, damaged, or have exposed wires, they can short-circuit and start a fire.

Space Heaters: If space heaters are placed too close to flammable materials like curtains, furniture, or bedding, or if they have faulty wiring or heating elements, they can become a fire hazard.

Clothes Dryers: Dryers are used year-round but can be particularly problematic in the winter if dryer vents become clogged with lint or if there are electrical or mechanical issues. A clogged dryer vent can lead to overheating, which may result in a fire. Regularly cleaning the lint filter and ensuring proper venting are essential safety measures.

Furnace Puff Back Sends Soot Throughout Home in Macomb Township?

12/12/2023 (Permalink)

Our technicians are trained and certified to remove oily soot and smoke residues in Macomb County.

Our local Northeast Macomb Township team is trained and certified to restore puff back damage by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). A professional cleaning service removes puff back residue more effectively and efficiently than an individual attempting to do it themselves. Puff back is a term used to describe the release of soot and other debris from a malfunctioning oil-fired furnace or boiler, and it can create a significant mess in a home. Here's why hiring professionals is often the better choice:

Expertise: Professional cleaning services have the knowledge and experience to handle puff back residue effectively. They are trained in proper cleaning techniques and have the necessary equipment to tackle the job efficiently.

Safety: Cleaning up after a puff back can be hazardous due to the presence of soot, carbon monoxide, and chemicals. Professionals are trained in safety protocols and have the appropriate protective gear to ensure their safety and that of the occupants.

Thorough Cleaning: Puff back residue can spread throughout a home, affecting walls, ceilings, floors, furniture, and more. Professionals can thoroughly clean and deodorize affected areas to minimize lingering odors.

Time and Convenience: Cleaning up after a puff back can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. Hiring professionals can save you time and effort, allowing you to focus on other important tasks while they handle the cleanup.

Prevention of Further Damage: Professionals can also assess the extent of the damage caused by the puff back and identify any necessary repairs or maintenance to prevent future incidents.

Insurance Claims: If you have insurance coverage for puff back incidents, using professional cleaning services may be a requirement to file a claim. Professionals can document the damage and cleaning process, and assist with the paperwork and process.

Hiring professionals for puff back cleanup can ultimately save you money by preventing further damage, ensuring thorough cleaning, and reducing the risk of exposure to soot and contaminants. Additionally, it can provide peace of mind that the job will be done correctly and safely.

Why Do I Need Professional Soot Cleaning Services in Macomb Township?

11/27/2023 (Permalink)

We are trained and certified to clean and restore soot damage in Macomb County.

If you’ve ever attempted to remove soot from a surface you know how difficult soot is to remove. Our local Northeast Macomb Township team is trained and certified to restore surfaces exposed to soot damage. Soot is often difficult to clean due to its physical and chemical properties, which make it adhere strongly to surfaces. Here are some reasons why soot can be difficult to clean:

Fine Particles: Soot consists of very fine particles that can easily become airborne and settle on various surfaces. These fine particles can penetrate porous materials, making it challenging to remove them entirely.

Adhesive Properties: Soot contains compounds like tar and oils that can have adhesive properties. These substances can make soot stick to surfaces, creating a stubborn layer that is difficult to dislodge.

Porous Surfaces: Soot can penetrate into porous surfaces such as brick, concrete, wood, and fabric. Once it enters these materials, it becomes trapped and is harder to remove through conventional cleaning methods.

Static Electricity: Soot particles can carry a static charge, attracting them to surfaces and making them cling even more tightly.

Heat and Smoke Residue: Soot often results from the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing materials, such as wood, oil, or gasoline. The heat and smoke generated during a fire can cause soot to bond strongly with surfaces, forming a black, sticky residue.

Chemical Composition: The chemical composition of soot can vary depending on the source of the combustion. It may contain a mixture of carbon, ash, and other chemical compounds that contribute to its adhesion to surfaces.

If you find it difficult to remove the soot, it may be necessary to consult a professional restoration company, especially when dealing with extensive soot damage, to ensure that the cleaning process is done safely and effectively.

Thanksgiving Turkey Fryer Starts Fire in New Haven Home?

11/20/2023 (Permalink)

We respond to fire damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Macomb County.

Our local Northeast Macomb Township team has been restoring fire damage in the New Haven area for over 15 years. According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), turkey fryers that use oil and an open flame are unsafe to use. This is because these fryers use a large amount of cooking oil at high temperatures, which can lead to devastating burns in many cases. The NFPA suggests purchasing an infrared fryer or an electric turkey fryer approved and listed by a qualified testing laboratory, and never leave fryers unattended when in use.

Here are some key safety tips for operating any electric cooking appliance from the NFPA:

• Always use cooking equipment like air fryers, slow cookers, electric skillets, hot plates, griddles, etc., that are listed by a qualified testing laboratory.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions on where and how to use appliances.
• Remember to unplug all appliances when not in use.
• Check cords regularly for damage. Do not use any appliance with a damaged cord.

Jack-o’-Lanterns at Macomb Township Halloween Party Catch Fire?

10/24/2023 (Permalink)

We are highly trained and certified to restore fire damage in Macomb County.

Our local Northeast Macomb Township team responds to fire damage emergencies every year in Macomb Township. October is Residential Fire Awareness Month, and we want everyone to have a fun and fire-damage-free Halloween celebration this year. Here are some Halloween safety tips from the National Fire Protection Association:

• Tell children to stay away from open flames including jack-o-lanterns with candles in them. Be sure they know how to stop, drop, and roll if their clothing catches fire. (Have them practice, stopping immediately, dropping to the ground, covering their face with their hands, and rolling over and over to put the flames out.)
• Dried flowers, cornstalks, and crepe paper catch fire easily. Keep all decorations away from open flames and other heat sources like light bulbs and heaters.
• Use a battery-operated candle or glow stick in jack-o’-lanterns. If you use a real candle, use extreme caution. Make sure children are watched at all times when candles are lit. When lighting candles inside jack-o’-lanterns, use long, fireplace-style matches or a utility lighter. Be sure to place lit pumpkins well away from anything that can burn and far enough out of the way of trick-or-treaters, doorsteps, walkways, and yards.

New Haven Home Damaged by Smoke from a Microwave Fire?

10/3/2023 (Permalink)

We respond to fire damage emergencies 24 hours a day in Macomb County!

Our local Northeast Macomb Township team uses advanced technology, and specialized equipment and techniques to remove smoke residue and smoke odor from fire-damaged properties in New Haven. Here are some examples of the kinds of equipment we use to remove smoke odor:

Air Scrubber or Filter

A heating, ventilation, air conditioning system (HVAC) air scrubber, or a high-efficiency particulate air filter (HEPA) air purifier can capture larger smoke molecules. There may be some residual odor from smaller molecules or surface residues.

Ozone Generator

An ozone generator is a fast and highly effective smoke odor restoration method. These machines emit ozone, which follows the same paths through the air as smoke and oxidizes any residual traces in the air or on surfaces.

Thermal Fogging

Thermal fogging is an intensive treatment involving fogging machines. After residents evacuate, smoke cleaning professionals fill a structure with petroleum distillates that neutralize odors and ventilate the area.

Hydroxyl Generator

A hydroxyl generator is a slower and gentler alternative to ozone. These machines rely on ultraviolet light to generate hydroxyl radicals that eliminate smoke odors. It will take about three to five days of continuous operation to achieve the same results as a single ozone treatment.

Vapor Modification

Vapor modification is another odor elimination method that relies on aromatic compounds and a blower or fan to neutralize smoke odor.

Smoke and Soot Damage from Furnace Puff Backs in Macomb Township?

3/21/2023 (Permalink)

We clean and restore furnace puff back damage in Macomb County.

If you have an oil or gas furnace, boiler, or water heater, you may experience puff back issues. These types of appliances also require more frequent maintenance as improper maintenance can lead to ignition problems that can cause a puff back. Our local Northeast Macomb Township team is trained to inspect and clean heating and ventilation systems.

Puff backs from oil-burning furnaces and appliances are more damaging because oil creates more soot than gas. A severe puff back can send soot throughout your entire home or business and can cause damage to heater components. Factors that affect how far the soot can travel include:

• The connection between the heater and the building
• The layout of the building
• Open and closed doors
• The routing of the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning ducts

Cleaning methods

We pretest every surface and item before cleaning to ensure we use the most effective cleaning method.

• Dry Cleaning - used for cleaning light residues or to pre-clean prior to wet cleaning
• Wet Cleaning - an effective cleaning method for removing moderate to heavy residues
• Spray and Wipe - effective for items that can’t withstand wet cleaning
• Foam Cleaning - used for upholstery fabrics that might shrink or bleed if wet cleaned
• Abrasive Cleaning - involves agitation of the surface being cleaned
• Immersion Cleaning - contents are dipped into a bath of the cleaning product
