Soot from Oil Burner Puff-Back Stuns Antique Boutique

The owners of this antique outlet in Northern New Jersey arrived at work Friday morning to find their extensive 18th & 19th century antique furnishings and artwork collection covered with soot resulting from a malfunction of the building's oil furnace. They immediately contacted their insurance broker for help who advised them to call MAXONS due to our experience in the restoration of valuable properties. We were on-site in less that two hours to coordinate the cleaning, decontamination, deodorization and restoration of the building and its extensive collection of fine property to help the store re-open for business that Monday.
