The chimney almanac

Month by month, the year round

January

Mid-Winter Chimney Check

Inspect your chimney for any signs of damage caused by winter storms. Ensure your fireplace is burning efficiently; this will keep energy costs down during cold months.

February

Prevent Chimney Blockages

Check that your chimney cap is secure to prevent animals from nesting inside. Clear snow from around the base of the chimney to prevent ice build-up.

March

Prepare for Spring Thaw

Look for signs of water damage as ice and snow melt. Consider scheduling a chimney cleaning if you're nearing the end of the burn season.

April

Spring Cleaning Time

Clean out your fireplace and remove leftover ash and debris. It's a good time to schedule a professional inspection in preparation for spring rains.

May

Checking for Leaks

Inspect the flashing around your chimney for leaks. Repairing them now can prevent water damage during the wetter months.

June

Off-Season Inspection

With the fireplace unused, have a professional inspect for any damage. This is an ideal time to plan any repair work, as weather conditions are favorable.

Cap and Crown Maintenance

Check the chimney cap and crown for cracks or damage that could let in rain. Repairing these early can save you from more costly repairs later.

Chimney Sweep Scheduling

Schedule a chimney sweep before the fall rush. This ensures your fireplace is safe and ready for the cooler months ahead.

Fall Safety Check

Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in preparation for increased use of your fireplace. Clean out any old firewood debris from your storage areas.

Pre-Winter Inspection

Check the chimney for blockages like leaves or nests. Ensure the damper opens and closes properly for efficient fireplace use.

Cold Weather Readiness

Have a professional look for issues like cracking in the chimney liner before heavy use begins. Stock up on properly seasoned firewood for efficient burning.
