The heating season is upon us. Many homeowners are turning on their furnaces for the first time since the final spurts of cold weather last season. Undoubtedly, there will be a flurry of problems ranging from units that simply do not work properly, resulting in an unfortunate furnace "puff back".


The term furnace "puff back" refers to the sudden explosion (or expulsion) of soot into the dwelling caused by a malfunction in the heating system. It is usually an uncontrolled explosive ignition in the fire chamber. "Puff back" has become a familiar term and is applied to any furnace disorder that results in soot being deposited into the living area of a structure.
Correct furnace operation combines fuel and oxygen in a balanced mixture providing efficient and controlled combustion. When correctly mixed, the almost complete combustion of the fuel provides a steady flame, while producing extremely small smoke particles. These particles are carried by the hot exhaust gases and are discharged from the dwelling through the chimney.
When the rate of combustion slows, but fuel injection continues at the same rate, a sudden and violent combustion can occur. This can cause a vibration throughout the heating system, which is powerful enough to dislodge accumulated soot residue within the system - especially in the ductwork. The air stream of a forced air system picks up the soot particles and distributes them through the vents and into the living areas.
Hot water systems are not immune from "puff back", although the particle flow is different from forced air systems. In hot water systems, soot residue follows the normal convection currents that run along the hot water pipes. Soot particles travel throughout the home, settling in areas far from the point of origin.
Residue from "puff back" is usually an oily, sticky film that often has a petroleum base. The odor is sometimes overwhelming. Because of the normal convection currents, plus the pressurization caused by the explosive combustion, the soot finds its way into every nook and cranny throughout the structure. You often find residue on exposed items such as furniture, but also behind closed doors and inside cabinet drawers. The residue can penetrate into closets affecting the clothing and other personal items.
Immediate response to a "puff back" by trained PuroClean professionals will help reduce the cost of the claim as well as any anxiety and tension that might result. By properly performing a thorough inspection of the premises and by testing various cleaning methods, a plan of action is quickly determined and then implemented.

After any malfunction, the heating system will need to be properly serviced by trained HVAC technicians. The duct system will also need to be cleaned before restarting the system. Proper care must be taken to avoid any cross contamination, which can easily occur by untrained workers. With a complete evaluation by a PuroClean professional first, these potential problems are avoided.

Due to the oily residue, it is often necessary to use alkaline degreasers and wet-cleaning methods to remove as much of the soot as possible. Often these cleaning agents are very aggressive and the structure will require further steps to return it to its pre-loss condition. Applying a heavily pigmented sealer will prevent remaining stains and their related odors from returning. PuroClean will be able to properly evaluate these situations.
Furnace "puff backs" are always unexpected and homeowners often feel devastated afterwards. PuroClean professionals understand this reaction and are fully trained to help homeowners deal with the situation.They help reassure the homeowner by taking charge of the restoration details. They will also communicate the need for professional cleaning and other services in a way that the homeowner will understand each phase of the project. Discussing ahead of time the expected results, along with any potential concerns, guarantees there will be no surprises later on.
PuroClean’s goal is to return the home to its pre-loss condition as quickly as possible and for the homeowners to be able to resume their normal lives.

Northeast Ohio's "Paramedics of Property Damage"

Emilio Soli, George Cruz - Managing Partners

PuroClean's George Cruz Named 2010 Cleveland Hispanic Businessman of the Year

George Cruz - Managing Partner

Since launching Cleveland’s PuroClean Professional Services, part of the nation’s fastest growing property emergency franchise, three years ago, co-owner George Cruz has seen business increase by more than 300 percent. Recognizing his impressive start, along with his dedication to the community, the Ohio Hispanic Chambers of Commerce honored Cruz as the 2010 Cleveland Hispanic Businessman of the Year.

Each year, the Ohio Hispanic Chambers of Commerce (through the local chambers in Ohio) recognizes area professionals who exemplify leadership, dedication and commitment to the Hispanic community. This is the second consecutive year Cruz has been honored by the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. Last year Cruz and his business partner Emilio Soli, were named Male Entrepreneurs of the Year by the Northeast Ohio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (NEOHCC).

“Having grown up in Northeast Ohio, this award is meaningful on both a personal and professional level,” Cruz said. “It is especially gratifying considering we have only been in business for just under 3 years.”
The mission of the Northeast Ohio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, part of the Ohio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, is to educate and provide opportunities to local Hispanic entrepreneurs so their businesses are equipped for growth and success. Services they offer include business plan writing assistance, financial analysis, business start-up counseling and information on contract and bid opportunities.

Cruz and Soli, former colleagues in the corporate world, decided to open the PuroClean franchise together after losing their jobs in the economic downturn. PuroClean, known as the nation’s “Paramedics of Property Damage,” shows up on the scene of property disasters to take the necessary steps to bring the situation under control and prevent it from becoming worse. PuroClean certified technicians provide emergency services to restore properties damaged by water, fire, smoke, mold, and biohazard events.
“We had one employee when we started and now we have 10,” Cruz said. “We started out in a small storage unit and now we work out of a 4,000-square-foot facility. “There is still so much more room for growth, but this recognition further shows us we’re on the right track.”
PuroClean Professional Services has been a member of the Northeast Ohio Hispanic Chamber of Commerce since early 2008. Since then, Cruz and Soli have made a tremendous impact on the community, working to provide jobs and services to the large Hispanic population in Northeast Ohio.

NE Ohio's "Paramedics of Property Damage"

Ice Damming in Northeast Ohio

Emilio Soli, George Cruz - Managing Partners

Ice dams are the accumulation of ice at the eaves and valleys of roofs, and in some winters create major problems for property owners in Northeast Ohio. Insufficient attic insulation and/or attic ventilation can cause roof snow to melt and slide down to the eaves, where the roof surface is cooler and the melting snow freezes to the roof. Subsequent melting causes water to pool behind this dam and sometimes the water seeps between the shingle layers, wetting the roof deck and possibly the walls and ceilings below. The surrounding counties of the Greater Cleveland and Akron metropolitan areas saw record amounts of ice accumulation last winter and it is expected to be a prevalent issue again this winter.

To prevent ice damming, the attic must be well ventilated. This will allow the roof to maintain a more uniform temperature by quickly removing any warm air that reaches the attic space. In addition, the ceiling must have an adequately sealed air and vapor barrier, and be well insulated to prevent excessive heat loss to the attic. Important techniques to employ include:
- Ensuring correct installation of insulation at eaves.
- Ensuring adequate airflow through attic eaves.
- Ensuring adequate ceiling insulation to keep warm air from rising to attic and through roof.
- Carefully sealing all ceiling penetrations (light fixtures etc.); to keep warm, moist air out of the attic.

If you have any questions, please contact us at 866-944-PURO (7876). We help restore property to its original state after property damage such as this occur.

How to Avoid Burst Pipes from Freezing Temperatures in Ohio

• Leave kitchen faucets on a slow drip, because running water has less chance of freezing than still water.
• Open cabinet doors under sinks to expose pipes to warmer air circulation.
• Wrap pipes in vulnerable places outside with heat tape, available at local hardware stores.
• Unhook hoses from outdoor faucets.
• If washing machine or water-using appliances are in an unheated area, turn off water supply to those machines if you're not using them.
• Shut off irrigation systems.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please call PuroClean Professional Services at 866-944-PURO (7876). If you've been the victim of frozen pipes, we can help clean, prevent mold, and restore a property to its original state.

Water Damage Can Occur at the Most Inopportune Times

Water damage may occur as a result of fire damage, broken pipes, blocked drains, malfunctioning appliances, storms and other causes. The appropriate treatment depends on the nature of the damage. Some water carries contaminants and should be considered hazardous. Whatever the origin, the prospects for restoration depend largely on the speed with which your building and personal property can be dried. Even clean water can generate mildew and other bacterial growth if neglected.

Do's:

• Ventilate wet areas. In summer, turn on air conditioning to accelerate drying. In winter, alternate cycles of opened windows and heating.
• Remove standing water from flat surfaces by sponging and blotting.
• Take up saturated rugs and carpets when hardwood floors are at risk.
• Stay out of rooms where ceilings are sagging from retained water.
• Remove lamps, telephones and decorative items from wet furniture tops.
• Open drawers and cabinet doors for interior drying, but do not force open stuck drawers or doors.
• Freeze valuable books and documents to retard mildew growth until drying can be performed.
• Place aluminum foil squares, china saucers or wood blocks under furniture legs to avoid staining carpet.

Dont's:

- Operate TV's, vacuums or other appliances while standing on wet carpet or floors, especially not on wet concrete floors. Serious injury may result.
- Use heat to dry closed building interiors. Mildew and expanded moisture changes may result.
- Leave wet fabrics in place. Space them apart and dry as soon as possible.

Hopefully you haven't struggled with this type of hazard. If you have any questions please let me know or visit my website at www.PuroCleanProServices.com

Cleveland & Akron Experts Offer Tips to Reduce Losses from Water and Storm Damage

'Paramedics of Property Damage' Help Relieve Stress of Local Property Owners Suffering from Property Damage

Home owners suffering from water damage are faced with an extremely stressful experience. PuroClean, part of the nation’s fastest growing property damage remediation franchise, is prepared to immediately restore property, relieving the stress of property owners during an extremely vulnerable time.


Water loss and damage is a real threat for property owners. In fact, according to the Insurance Information Institute in the last year, 22 per 1,000 households have entered a claim for water related damage. "These situations are more common than most people think," said George Cruz, owner of PuroClean. "Water damage can often result from weather, such as storms or melting snow, or more often, from common household malfunctions such as pipe leaks, washing machine malfunctions or other plumbing problems."


To help minimize loss, and prevent further damage while technicians from PuroClean are en route, Cruz suggests property owners follow these guidelines:


Insurance

o Call your agent.

o Take photographs of the damage.

o Keep all receipts from hotel stays, home repair materials, etc.


Plumbing

o Check pipes on well pumps and irrigation systems.

o If sewage is backing up in the shower or under the toilet, your whole system is backed up. Call a professional and don’t use other sinks or toilets.


Roofing

o If the neighbor’s roof is missing shingles after a storm, you can assume that yours probably is, too.

o If only a few shingles are gone, try to cover the area with a garbage bag. o If you have a large area of ripped tar paper or wood, cover it with a tarpaulin and call a roofer immediately.


Electric

o Most damage to electrical systems comes from water.

o Appliances exposed to water should be serviced before being used again.

o Check for sparks or frayed wires if wires are exposed call an electrician and do not turn on the power.

o If it appears that water has infiltrated your breaker box, call an electrician.

o Avoid fallen and dangling wires or metal fences.

o If a limb has fallen on a power line, turn off the power and call the utility company.

o If a fallen limb touches your property, it becomes your responsibility, but you should not attempt to clear them as they may be tangled in power lines. Call an electrician.


Flooding (Take these steps to minimize damage before the restoration professional arrives.) o Throw out all food, including canned goods, medicines and cosmetics that have been touched by flood water.

o Keep a photographic inventory of anything that must be thrown out.

o Don’t take pets into a flooded area and never let them drink standing flood water.


Miscellaneous

o Turn on air conditioner if damage occurs in summer.

o Move valuable paintings, art objects and photos to a safe, dry place.

o Open closet doors, furniture drawers and luggage to aid in drying.

o Remove any wet fabrics and dry immediately.

Cold Weather Can Lead to Frozen Pipes, Property Damage

PuroClean's Paramedics of Property Damage Provide Tips on How to Prevent Frozen Pipes

As winter weather sets in, and cold temperatures cause water to freeze and expand, homeowners are at a risk of damage from frozen pipes. Whether a pipe is plastic or metal, it cannot withstand the pressure caused by the expansion of freezing water.

According to the American Red Cross, pipes that freeze most frequently are those that are exposed to the severe cold, like outdoor hose bibs, swimming pool supply lines, water sprinkler lines, and water supply pipes in unheated interior areas like basements and crawl spaces, attics, garages, or kitchen cabinets. Also, pipes that run against exterior walls that have little or no insulation are also subject to freezing. Pipe freezing is a particular problem in warmer regions where pipes often run through uninsulated or underinsulated attics or crawl spaces.

PuroClean, known as “The Paramedics of Property Damage,” is a professional mitigation company specializing in property restoration and responding to water damage emergencies that can be caused by frozen pipes. George Cruz, owner of PuroClean serving Greater Cleveland and Akron, says, “This time of year, we experience an increased number of property emergencies due to frozen pipes.”

To help property owners reduce the risk of frozen pipes, Cruz provides property owners with the following tips:
- Make sure all pipes in unheated areas are insulated

- When it is extremely cold outside, let cold water drip from the faucet because running a small amount of water helps prevent pipes from freezing

- Keep the heat on if you are going away during cold weather

- Keep the thermostat set at the same temperature both during day and night

- Add insulation to basements, attics and garages to maintain higher temperatures

Homeowners & Business Owners Should Be Alert of Winter Fire Risks

PuroClean’s Paramedics of Property Damage Provide Tips to Property Owners to Prevent Cold Weather Fires

During the winter months, the majority of the country experiences colder and wetter weather conditions, increasing the need for structural heating and causing the peak season for heating fires. According to FEMA, heating fires account for 36 percent of residential home fires in rural areas every year. When a fire occurs, PuroClean is called to the scene, usually by a local insurance agent, to bring the situation under control, prevent it from becoming worse, and finally, to provide restoration services to help put the property back to pre-loss condition.

We at PuroClean have commonly been referred to as “The Paramedics of Property Damage.” We are a professional mitigation company specializing in property remediation after a home or commercial structure has been damaged by fire and smoke. Structural heating such as fireplaces or furnace malfunctions are a common cause of many of the fire mitigation calls we receive in the winter months.

With more than one-third of Americans using fireplaces and other fuel-burning appliances as a primary heat source, take note of the following tips to help reduce the risk of winter fires:

• Keep fireplaces clean
- Have chimneys inspected and cleaned annually by a certified chimney specialist
- Clear the area around the hearth of debris, decorations and flammable materials
- Always use a metal screen with fireplaces and leave doors open while burning
• Burn fuels safely
- Never use flammable liquids to start a fire
- Only use seasoned hardwood, not soft or moist wood
- Build small fires that produce less smoke
- Never burn boxes, trash or debris in a fireplace
- When building a fire, place logs at the rear of the fireplace
- Never leave a fire unattended, extinguish it before going to bed or leaving the house
- Soak hot ashes in water and place them in a metal container outside
• Protect the outside of your home
- Stack firewood at least 30 feet away from your home
- Keep the roof clear of pine needles, leaves, etc.
- Cover chimney with a mesh screen spark arrester
- Remove branches hanging above the chimney, flues or vents

If property is damaged by a fire, it is important to call a fire restoration professional immediately. Cruz said the faster the response, the greater the chance of saving property and possessions and minimizing insurance claims.
