If Smoke & Soot are Corroding Your Home, Call Aitkin, Carlton & West St. Louis Counties

You’ve been using your furnace for several months now, but a puff back is still possible. If the furnace has trouble igniting, a gas buildup can force smoke and soot back into your home; a forced air system worsens the problem by pushing the corrosive, greasy hazards throughout your house. If this disaster happens to your Hermantown-area home, call Aitkin, Carlton & West St. Louis Counties ASAP. Our emergency response teams are available 24/7/52, and we always come to your home as quickly as possible. Reach us at 218-879-6141 for prompt, accredited, experienced, and highly trained restoration services. We are Here to Help® restore your home to pre-damage functioning regardless of the extent of the damage or the time that you call. Whether the puff back was minor, sending smoke/soot into only one corner of your garage, or it was severe enough to coat all the rooms and belongings in corrosive gunk, we have the skills and specialized equipment needed to take care of your Northern Minnesota home.

Smoke and soot settle into wallboard, wood, grout, and fabric, causing increasing amounts of damage, so do yourself a favor and call us even if you think it’s an inconvenient day or hour.
