Carbon Monoxide Kills
There
are several dangers associated with Leaky/unsound flues, the primary concern
being the leak of Carbon Monoxide gas. Carbon Monoxide is produced Naturally
through the burning of all fuels i.e. Gas, Coal, Wood etc..
In the instance of a blocked, restricted or incorrectly ventilated flue the smoke can actually be seen to be spilling from the opening itself. In the instance of a leak further up the flue perhaps where the mortar joints have corroded there can be a leak of Carbon Monoxide gas that is undetectable.
Carbon
Monoxide Gas is ODOURLESS, COLOURLESS ans TASTLESS and it can KILL in
a matter of hours
One
of our clients lived on the third floor in a london town house, her neighbour
in the basement left a gas fire on all night by accident... Fortunately
the clients dog awoke her during the night and the she realised from the
way she was feeling that something was drastically amiss, she suffered
many side affects for sometime after wards. She is lucky to be alive.
