The Three Chimney Sweep Problems Fort Collins Homes Face in Fall
1. Creosote buildup, the sticky, flammable tar left from summer fires, is the top reason Fort Collins homeowners call for a chimney sweep in October. If your fireplace smells smoky or you see black soot on the glass, it’s time. 2. Cracked or rusted liners, common in older homes along Horsetooth Road, can let carbon monoxide into living spaces. 3. Blocked flues from fallen leaves or animal nests happen fast in our dry climate. All three can turn a cozy fall evening into a fire hazard. anchor
