Chimney Sweeping
Chimney Sweeping and chimney maintenance is crucial to keeping your home safe. As you burn wood, a substance known as creosote begins to build up in your stove or fireplace, and in the chimney. Creosote is highly flammable and, if too much builds up in your chimney, you could have a chimney fire. Our team of experts is fully equipped with the latest tools and techniques to ensure a thorough cleaning that meets Boulder, Colorado’s local codes and regulations! Regular inspections and maintenance, including addressing any identified issues promptly, are essential for maintaining the efficiency and longevity of your chimney.
Chimney & Fireplace Repairs
Although Boulder delivers vibrant full seasons, its harsher winter months can affect your chimney over time. Even if you use your fireplace infrequently, it might be suffering from other issues you should be aware of, such as: Broken dampers, Deteriorating or damaged brick, Cracked crowns, Faulty air shutters, Water penetration that leads to leaking. We also provide important gas fireplace repairs!

Dryer Vent Cleaning
It is recommended to have a professional clean your dryer’s ventilation system once a year. We have cleaned and repaired commercial multi-family dryer vents in Boulder for Boulder Housing company, addressing incorrect terminations. We have also done lots of residential dryer vent repairs in Boulder, Longmont, Eaton, Lafayette, and Berthoud. Additionally, inspect the vent and surrounding area every six months to ensure there is no damage. Over time, small holes may develop in the flexible connector behind the dryer, which can allow dust or carbon monoxide to enter. Note that plastic flexible connectors do not meet code requirements and should be replaced with a semi-rigid aluminum connector or an equivalent approved product.

Water leaking around a chimney is an issue, and we believe we have the best system for addressing it: TWP. We do crown coat, chimney saver and flash seal on all three points of a masonry chimney. We have solved roof leaks others could not solve in Lyons, Estes Park, Allenspark, Superior and Boulder, Colorado.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are There Chimney Inspection Regulations?
You bet! Before honoring their warranties, most manufacturers require consumers to follow the regulations set forth by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). For stoves that burn cord wood and bio-fuel pellets, the recommendation is an annual sweep. Masonry fireplaces and factory-built fireplaces should be cleaned when the soot level reaches 1/8” thick on the inside walls of the chimney.
How Often Does a Fireplace Need to be Cleaned?
The NFPA’s Document 211 reads, “Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary.” It’s advised that you have your fireplace checked annually, regardless of how often you use it. Even if you only use your fireplace so often, you ought to arrange an inspection to verify that your chimney and fireplace lack issues such as loose dampers, leaves or nesting debris blocking the flue, or broken air shutters.
Do I Need an Inspection If I Don’t Use my Fireplace Often?
The short answer is, yes! Even if you rarely or never use your fireplace, your chimney is still exposed to the elements, can collect debris, and may develop hidden structural problems. Scheduling a routine chimney inspection can prevent costly repairs, improve home safety, and give you peace of mind—even if your fireplace stays cold all year!
Do Gas Fireplaces Need to Be Cleaned?
Yes! While gas fireplaces burn cleaner than wood-burning fireplaces, they still require regular cleaning and maintenance to ensure safety, efficiency, and longevity. Even though gas burns without producing creosote, dust, soot, and carbon deposits can still accumulate inside the fireplace, on the burner, logs, glass, and venting system.
