A check of the chimney, venting and alarms so smoke and carbon monoxide go up and out and your family is protected.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas made whenever fuel burns incompletely. A blocked chimney, a cracked flue or a draft problem can send it back into the house. It is a danger because you cannot see or smell it, and the early symptoms are easy to mistake for the flu: headache, tiredness, nausea and dizziness.
We check the parts of the system that matter most for this risk: that the flue is open and sound, that the damper is set correctly, that the cap is not clogged, that appliances vent properly and that your alarms are in the right places and working. If we find a problem, we explain it clearly, and if there is an immediate danger, we say so right away.
We look for blockage, cracks and leaks in the flue and connectors, which are the most common routes for carbon monoxide to enter the house.
Wood, gas, oil and pellet appliances all produce carbon monoxide if they are not venting well. We check the venting for each kind.
Carbon monoxide alarms should be on each level and near sleeping areas. We explain where to put them and how to test them.
If an alarm sounds or you feel sick, get everyone outside to fresh air and call emergency services. We give you a simple checklist to keep.
