Month by month, the year round

January

Keep It Safe and Warm

Ensure your chimney is free of obstructions before lighting any fires. Always use a fireplace screen to contain sparks.

February

Monitor for Creosote Buildup

Check for creosote deposits in your chimney that may have accumulated during winter use. Schedule a cleaning if buildup appears excessive.

March

Prepare for Spring Thaw

Inspect the chimney for any winter damage such as cracks or loose bricks. Address any issues promptly to prevent leaks during spring rains.

April

Springtime Cleaning

Now's a good time for a thorough cleaning of your fireplace and chimney. Remove any ash and debris left from winter use.

May

Check Chimney Cap and Flashing

Make sure your chimney cap and flashing are intact to prevent water intrusion as spring showers continue. Repair any damaged areas.

June

Inspect for Wildlife Nests

Look for signs of birds or other animals nesting in your chimney. Install a chimney cap with mesh to prevent intrusions.

July

Schedule an Annual Inspection

It's a good time to schedule your annual chimney inspection and cleaning before the busy fall season. Ensure all components are in good condition.

August

Plan for Fall Use

Stock up on seasoned firewood for the upcoming colder months. Avoid using green or wet wood, which can increase creosote buildup.

Review Chimney Safety

Refresh your household on fireplace safety guidelines. Ensure smoke detectors and carbon monoxide alarms are functioning properly.

Test Your Damper

Check if your chimney damper is opening and closing smoothly. A functioning damper helps control airflow and prevents drafts.
