Creosote is what burns in a chimney fire. Third-degree creosote is glazed and hot enough to crack flue tile, and removing it is the entire point of an annual sweep.
A Level 2 inspection with a video scan is the standard before a property transfer, after a chimney fire, or when the appliance or fuel type changes.
High-altitude UV, big temperature swings and real snow load mean assemblies rated for a mild climate fail early here.
What the job includes
- Annual sweeping and creosote removal
- Level 1 and Level 2 inspections
- Stainless cap and crown repair
- Flue liner installation
- Flashing and leak repair
- Dryer vent cleaning
Homes in Denver and chimney sweeping work
Public figures for the city of Denver in Denver County, not the metro, and the general practice that follows.
Winters are long: the Denver-Stapleton station averages 156 nights a year at or below 32°F and 62 at or below 20°F.1,2 In long winters, chimneys work hard and masonry sees many freeze-thaw cycles; annual inspection and a sound cap and crown are the maintenance baseline. The median home in the city of Denver was built in 1975, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Colorado median of 1988.3 Somewhat more of Denver's housing predates 1980 than the national share: 56% against 50%, with 20% built since 2010.3 Newer homes commonly have factory-built (prefab) fireplaces; they are inspected and serviced differently from masonry, so mention which type you have.
Annual precipitation is low, about 15 inches.1,2 Snowfall averages about 49 inches a year.1,2 Snow sitting against the stack keeps masonry wet for weeks; a cap, a sound crown and sealed counterflashing are what keep it out. Heating dominates the year: about 5,765 heating degree days against 813 cooling degree days (base 65°F).1,2 In a heating-led climate, insulation and air sealing carry most of the energy-code weight for any work that opens the envelope.
Building permits in Denver are normally issued by the city building department.4,5 Where a liner or rebuild needs a permit, the contractor files it with the city before work starts.
