Why do you need a professional to help with carbon monoxide detection service? Read on to learn more about the silent but potentially deadly force that could be lurking in your home and putting your family at risk!
A: Whenever fuel is burned, a colorless, odorless gas called carbon monoxide (CO) is produced. Fuel-burning appliances such as gas ranges, furnaces, water heaters and boilers are common sources of carbon monoxide in the home.
If these appliances do not vent to the outdoors properly, or if there is an improper pressure differential between the indoor and outdoor air, carbon monoxide gas can build up in the home or get sucked back into the home through a process called back drafting.
Back drafting is the reversed flow of gas that causes combustion gases to flow into living space. It happens when indoor air pressure is too low and fuel-burning appliances are unable to force combustion gases outdoors. While homeowners can spot some warning signs of backdrafting, such as soot on top of a water heater, it’s best to trust the trained experts at Squeaks to perform combustion testing and make sure back drafting is not occurring in your home.
A: Carbon monoxide has no odor, and although you can’t smell it, breathing it in can be lethal. That’s why it’s so important to hire a trustworthy professional carbon monoxide detection service to perform CO and natural gas leak detection around the home and to install a functioning carbon monoxide detector to keep your family safe going forward.
A: Carbon monoxide poisoning is easy to prevent if you are proactive and have the right resources on hand. Here are a few steps you can take toward carbon monoxide prevention.
A: Carbon monoxide depletes your body of the oxygen it needs to perform vital functions. When you breathe in high levels of carbon monoxide gas, it enters your bloodstream and displaces the flow of oxygen, stopping oxygen from reaching the heart and brain.
Once this process begins, a person can feel sick and even fall unconscious within mere minutes. This underscores the importance of a well-maintained carbon monoxide detector that will alert you and your loved ones of danger before it strikes.
