Why chimney maintenance matters
Regular chimney maintenance prevents dangerous creosote buildup, ensures proper ventilation, and catches small issues before they become costly repairs. Colorado’s dry climate and frequent wood burning make annual inspections essential.
Seasonal maintenance checklist
Spring (After heating season)
- Schedule professional chimney sweep and inspection
- Check for animal nests or debris in the chimney
- Inspect chimney cap and screen for damage
- Clean out any accumulated soot or creosote
Fall (Before heating season)
- Have chimney professionally inspected and swept
- Check fireplace damper for proper operation
- Inspect firebox and hearth for cracks or damage
- Ensure carbon monoxide detector is working
Year-round
- Monitor for unusual odors or smoke patterns
- Keep chimney clear of trees and branches
- Never burn treated wood, trash, or paper
- Use seasoned hardwood only
