        "text": "Black soot on ceilings is commonly caused by incomplete combustion from various sources. This can include burning candles, fireplaces, gas appliances like stoves or water heaters, and even tobacco smoke. If a furnace or HVAC system is malfunctioning, it can also distribute soot throughout your home. In some cases, electrical issues can lead to soot marks near outlets or fixtures. Identifying the source is crucial for effective remediation and preventing recurrence.",
