Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

How does a professional chimney sweep eliminate risk of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning from your chimney?
Carbon monoxide cannot be detected right away because it is a colorless and odourless gas. It is a dangerous risk related to working with chimneys and other sources of heat. In the worst of cases, it can cause death in a matter of minutes. Most cases of carbon monoxide poisoning are not reported because lower concentrations of carbon monoxide are hard to detect.

Why carbon monoxide is deadly to you?
Since carbon monoxide takes the place of oxygen in your bloodstream, a sufficient quantity of the gas can be fatal in a few minutes. You are more likely to suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning if you have nausea, headache, and breathing issues while working around your chimney. Should you suspect carbon monoxide poisoning, vacate your house instantly because the gas has the ability to make you unconscious immediately. If you feel unwell even after leaving the house, call 911 or ask for help.

Sources of carbon monoxide in chimney
When organic materials are combusted, carbon monoxide is produced. The chimney flue shields people from this dangerous gas. If the flue gets barred by animals or substances, it may lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Another important origin of carbon monoxide poisoning is back drafting. A chimney is functional only when it is able to suck in combustible gas and remove exhaust gas from the house. When a backdraft happens, it moves in the direction opposite to that of a draft. It has the potential to draw in carbon monoxide in the chimney, which is toxic. Backdraft happens because of blockage of chimney flue, bad ventilation, and inadequate combustible substance.

Eliminating the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning
A professional will evaluate the chimney's status and look for any of the conditions described previously. The house owner will also be asked if they have experienced any of the signs of carbon monoxide poisoning. Next, they will make sure that the draft generated in the chimney is sufficient and does not cause backdraft. They may also advise the placement of an insulation for the chimney damper if the area around the house is windy. Usually, windy regions are more likely to suffer from the problems of backdraft than non-windy regions.

The professional will check each area of the chimney to find rust, blockage, soot, or corrosion. If any damage is found, it is rectified immediately. All the areas of the chimney are cleaned so that no blockage occurs due to aggregation of stains. He or she will also evaluate the ventilation area surrounding the chimney and make changes in the design to aid better ventilation. Dry wood may also be recommended to increase the amount of combustible material. If the house is completely closed, the professional may ask you to set up a carbon monoxide detector. This device is expensive, but it is a life-saving piece of equipment.
