Can Blocked And Dirty Chimneys Cause Health Problems?

by 169 Comments

For over 20 years now, Alliance Chimney of Long Island has provided Long Island clients with a comprehensive line of cleaning, inspection, and repair services that have kept their chimneys and flues operating properly and safely. Most importantly, our services help to resolve certain issues that can eventually lead to significant health problems. The following is a list of those health problems that can result from blocked and dirty chimneys and flues as well as their symptoms.

Carbon monoxide poisoning – a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas resulting from improper combustion. CO poisoning is oftentimes difficult to detect but prolonged exposure to it can result in flu-like symptoms (e.g. confusion, fatigue, headache, and nausea). It can also cause brain damage, heart problems, and in the worst case scenario, death.

Exposure to creosote – this black, oily substance results from incomplete wood combustion and builds up inside the flue. It can lead to some very unpleasant health problems including:

  • abdominal issues
  • cancer
  • eye irritations
  • kidney and liver irritations
  • mental problems
  • respiratory problems
  • skin irritations

Inhalation of chimney soot – this is another contaminant that results when combustion has not been completed. As it builds up inside the chimney, it can escape into the air within your home. Prolonged exposure over time can cause lung diseases, irritate the lungs, and lead to respiratory infections.

Histoplasmosis – this respiratory infection is caused by the droppings left behind by the chimney swift, a small blackish-brown bird that loves to nest inside of chimneys. Their droppings contain a fungus known as histplasma capsulatum. The symptoms include:

  • appetite and weight loss
  • chest pains
  • chills, fever, or sweating
  • chronic cough

None of these health issues are ones that you want to experience so the bottom line is that you should take the necessary precautions and have your chimney and flue cleaned and inspected by a professional Long Island chimney service. Not only will this help to protect you and your family from the above health problems, it will ensure that your chimney and flue are operating properly and safely.

We are committed to providing the highest quality Long Island chimney service to our clients and ensuring the protection and safety of homeowners and their families. Whether you need a Long Island chimney inspection, a blockage removed, or any type of repairs such as the replacement of a chimney cap or flue liner, we are here to help. Please contact us today for more information on the services we provide.

  7. I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your site?

    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better.

    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

  11. The road seemed to stretch on endlessly before us, but Alexis assured me that our journey was near an end. We’d turn before long into thick woods and travel through narrow, winding roads until we reached her family’s cabin. I had no choice but to trust her as GPS had given out nearly 20 minutes ago.

    “There’s good wifi and okay reception at the cabin,” she’d told me, “but you can’t get there unless you know the way.”

    So here I was, driving alone in the middle of god knows where with a girl who was my student just a couple of weeks ago. Her and her four best friends had been together from first grade all the way through high school and now they had graduated with very different futures ahead of them. They had decided to kick off “the best summer ever” with a week long stay at Alexis’s family cabin. Alexis and I were heading up before everyone else, the four other girls and four guys.
