With Boulder’s summer humidity and occasional wildfire smoke, now’s the time to inspect your chimney before fall’s peak use. A clean, inspected chimney prevents costly repairs and keeps your home safe. Book a summer sweep to lock in lower rates and avoid fall backlogs.

Summer chimney checklist: what to inspect before booking
Start with the flue: look for cracks or obstructions—Boulder’s squirrels love nesting in warm chimneys. Check the cap for rust or gaps; a missing cap lets rain and debris in, causing water damage. Inside, measure creosote buildup: if it’s thicker than a credit card, schedule a sweep before it hardens. Don’t overpay—our pricing guide breaks down costs upfront.
