The chimney almanac

Month by month, the year round

January

Chimney Snow Precautions

After heavy snowfalls, make sure to clear snow and ice from the base of your chimney to prevent water damage when it melts. Check your flue for any blockages that may have occurred during snowstorms.

February

Watch for Ice Dams

Ice dams can form and cause leaks in your chimney. Inspect your roof regularly to ensure there is no ice buildup near the chimney, which could lead to leaks or structural damage.

March

Prepare for Spring Rains

Check the chimney cap to ensure it is secure and not damaged by winter weather. This will help prevent rainwater from entering and causing issues within the chimney system.

April

Schedule an Inspection

Spring is an ideal time to have a professional chimney inspection. Address any damage sustained over winter before the rainy season fully sets in.

May

Clean Your Fireplace

As the burning season winds down, clean out ash and debris from the fireplace. This helps prevent unwanted odors as temperatures rise.

June

Install a Chimney Cap

A chimney cap is essential to prevent animals and debris from entering your chimney. Ensure it's in place and in good condition for the summer months.

July

Check for Storm Damage

Summer storms can damage chimney masonry. Inspect your chimney after severe weather for cracks or other damage that might lead to leaks.

August

Plan for Fall Cleaning

Schedule a chimney cleaning and sweeping to remove soot and creosote buildup before the heating season begins. A clean chimney is a safer chimney.

September

Seal Chimney Cracks

Inspect your chimney for any cracks or gaps in the masonry or flashing. Sealing these before winter can prevent costly repairs in the future.

October

Test Your Dampers

Before heavy use in winter, ensure your dampers open and close smoothly. This helps maintain proper airflow and heating efficiency in your home.

November

Clear Out the Chimney

Check for and remove any leaves or debris that may have collected in your chimney during fall. This reduces the risk of chimney fires as you start using your fireplace.

December

Check Smoke Alarms

Test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to ensure they are working properly. This is crucial as you begin using your heating systems more frequently.
