Deep frost depth and heavy snow load shape everything structural here, from footing depth to ice-dam protection at the eaves.
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.
What the job includes
- Annual sweeping and creosote removal
- Level 1 and Level 2 inspections

Public figures for the city of Green Bay in Brown County, not the metro, and the general practice that follows.
Winters are long: the Green Bay station averages 152 nights a year at or below 32°F and 76 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 Green Bay was built in 1971, older than the U.S. median of 1980 and older than the Wisconsin median of 1975.3 Older masonry chimneys may be unlined or have cracked clay tile liners; a Level 2 camera inspection is the standard way to confirm the liner before the first fire of the season.
The stock is old by national standards: 65% of Green Bay's housing units were built before 1980 (U.S. 50%), and only 4% since 2010.3 Annual precipitation is about 32 inches, with 6 days a year bringing an inch or more.1,2 Snowfall averages about 56 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 7,505 heating degree days against 508 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 Green Bay 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.
