Chimney Inspection in Boulder Starts With the Flue
Boulder has about 49,329 homes, and the range of housing ages makes a chimney check useful for both newer and older fireplaces. We come to your home to inspect the chimney and fireplace, look for signs that the flue is blocked, and identify visible buildup or damage that may call for further attention. Our inspection is free in the home, so you can arrange a visit before deciding what work, if any, is needed.
A Level 1 inspection under the CSIA Standard of Practice (2019) covers readily accessible parts of the appliance and chimney, checks that the flue is not blocked, and recommends a sweep when buildup reaches 1/8 inch or more. A Level 2 inspection adds access to the roof, attic and crawl space, plus a required video scan; CSIA recommends it after a fire or weather event and before a sale. For background on the service, see our chimney inspection page, or book an inspection before arranging a chimney sweep in Boulder.

Boulder’s Older Homes Make Chimney Inspection Details Matter
The median year Boulder homes were built is 1977, and 55% were built before 1980; by comparison, 18% were built since 2000. That mix means a home’s age can help set the context for an inspection, but it cannot show the chimney’s present condition. Boulder also has about 49,329 homes, with 37% detached single-family homes and 42% owner-occupied, so fireplaces are only one part of a varied housing stock.
Three Steps for a Boulder Chimney Inspection
- Call to book — Call Denver Chimney Sweep Pros at (720) 780-8924. Tell us what prompted the inspection—such as a sale, a recent weather event, or a change in fireplace use—so we can arrange the appropriate visit.
- Prepare the fireplace area — Before we arrive, clear access to the fireplace and note any smoke, odor, or draft changes you have noticed. Sharing when the problem occurs gives the inspection a useful starting point.
- Inspect and review findings — We check the accessible parts of the fireplace and chimney for the inspection scope, including signs of blockage or buildup. A Level 1 inspection typically takes about 45 to 60 minutes with basic cleaning, according to HomeGuide (2026); a Level 2 inspection typically takes 1 to 2 hours because it includes additional access and a video scan.

Frequently asked questions
What should I do while waiting for a chimney inspection in Boulder?
Clear the area around the fireplace and make a note of any smoke, odor, or draft changes, including when they happen. If a recent weather event or a planned home sale prompted the call, mention it when booking because those situations can call for a Level 2 inspection.
Is a chimney inspection useful for Boulder’s older homes?
Yes. The median year Boulder homes were built is 1977, and 55% were built before 1980, so age is useful context when checking accessible chimney and fireplace parts. The inspection looks at current condition rather than relying on the home’s age alone.
Can I book a Boulder chimney inspection at night or on a weekend?
Yes. We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and same-day service is available in Boulder. Call (720) 780-8924 to arrange an in-home inspection.
