Chimney Sweep Useful Tip:

Why is creosote dangerous?
Creosote, the sticky combustible substance that builds up in chimney or stove is known to be very dangerous. That's why experts recommend you deal with the substance while sweeping your chimney. There are several reasons that back up the dangerous nature of creosote.

  • If you happen to drink water or eat food contaminated by creosote, you're likely to experience unusual mouth and throat burning. You may also experience serious stomach ache.
  • Excess inhaling of creosote can lead to serious liver damage. It may also affect your lungs and other vital parts of the body.
  • Temporary exposure to creosote especially in an employment setting can lead to employee poisonings. It can also lead to serious kidney and liver diseases in the lives of the employees.
  • Continuous skin exposure to the substance can lead to skin irritation, rashes and burns.
  • Under extreme conditions, creosote can lead to serious mental problem and even death.
  • Furthermore, regular exposure to creosote over a long period of time can lead to skin damage and burns.
  • When creosote mistakenly enters your eyes, it can lead serious cornea damage.
  • Creosote can cause environmental degradation and soil damage when dumped on the ground.
  • Prolonged skin exposure to creosote can lead to cancer of the scrotum. This is often the case with chimney sweepers who don't take time to protect themselves during chimney cleaning process.
  • It's also possible to experience all manner of skin cancer problems when you're constantly exposed to creosote.
Guarding against the dangers of creosote
Most of the dangers associated with creosote are often encountered during chimney cleaning. Most people who suffer such ugly conditions are often seen sweeping different kinds of chimney or stove. In any case, such dangers could be averted by taking necessary precautions. Here are some preventive tips to engage:
  • Make sure you put on an old overall cloth that will cover your neck to the legs when cleaning chimney. This prevents creosote from reaching your skin.
  • Make sure you wear safety goggles to protect your eyes whenever you're sweeping chimney.
  • Make sure you put on rubber gloves to protect your fingers when you clean chimney.
  • Make sure you put on dust mask to protect your head as you clean up the system.
  • Use scrapper or knife to scrap off sticky creosote in the chimney pipes. Don't allow the particles to touch your body in the process.
  • Use a good ash container to pack creosote particles and soot during the cleaning process.
  • Use old newspapers, towels and rag to protect the ground against creosote as you clean the chimney.
Finally, make sure you dispose creosote according to the local laws governing your area. You don't have to drop the particles anywhere you see!
