Security-Widefield, CO Chimney Services — Cleaning, Repair & More
Donovan Chimney & Fireplace provides complete chimney and fireplace services in Security-Widefield, CO — sweeping, inspections, masonry repair, relining, caps and crowns, fireplace service, and dryer vent cleaning — backed by 25+ years on the Front Range and a phone line that answers 24/7. Built largely for the postwar military boom, Security-Widefield's 1950s-60s ranch homes share a generation of fireplaces — and original dampers and flue tiles here are aging on the same schedule, street by street.
Wind, temperature swings, and freeze-thaw stress
In the foothills zone around Security-Widefield (5,702 ft), downslope winds gust hard enough to strip loose caps and drive moisture sideways into masonry joints, while big day-night temperature swings put brick and mortar through expansion cycles the plains never match. The chimney problems we see most here are wind-damaged caps and chase covers, eroding mortar on weather-facing sides, and crown cracking from repeated freeze events.
Why Security-Widefield Homeowners Choose Us
We built Donovan Chimney & Fireplace on a simple bet: that Security-Widefield homeowners would rather see the problem than take our word for it. Twenty-five years later, the camera-first, evidence-first approach is still what separates us — along with licensed technicians, transparent pricing, and true 24/7 availability.
Why Annual Inspections Matter Here
The NFPA recommends every chimney be inspected annually, and in Security-Widefield's climate that guidance earns its keep: freeze-thaw damage, wind-stressed caps, and creosote accumulation all develop quietly between burning seasons. An annual inspection catches them as minor line items — the alternative is discovering them as winter emergencies.

Why does my Security-Widefield chimney smell in summer?
Humidity activates creosote odor, and summer airflow patterns often push flue air down into the house instead of up and out. A thorough sweep plus damper sealing solves most cases — it's one of our most common warm-season calls in El Paso County.
