Cedar Falls winters are long, and they just got darker. Do a quick hearth check this week: look for cracked brick, loose mortar, and a damper that opens and closes cleanly. If anything looks questionable, book an inspection at midtownsweeps.com.

Cedar Falls trick-or-treaters tend to cover a lot of ground, and late October in Iowa gets cold fast after dark. When everyone’s back inside and the fire’s going, keep the screen closed and loose costumes away from the hearth. Happy Halloween. midtownsweeps.com

Iowa ice storms have a way of finding the power lines. If you’ve got an open fireplace in Cedar Falls that mostly sits pretty, a wood insert turns it into a heat source you can count on when the furnace can’t run.

This house didn’t have drywall yet, but it already had heat. That’s the thing about a wood stove. Before the first real storm rolls in, take ten minutes to get ready: dry firewood within reach, flashlights where you can find them, fresh batteries in your smoke and CO detectors, and a stove that’s been inspected this season. No backup heat yet? It’s worth talking about before the cold settles in.

Cedar Falls winters can turn fast, and ice on the lines doesn’t care about your plans. Keep your firewood dry, check your detector batteries, and have the stove inspected before you’re counting on it.

Cedar Falls in January is no joke, and a blizzard that takes the power can turn a house cold fast. A wood stove keeps you warm no matter what the lines are doing. Get the chimney swept before you need it.

Snow, ice, or one bad windstorm on the lines, and the furnace goes quiet. A wood stove doesn’t care. It just needs dry wood, a clean flue, and a chimney that’s been checked this season. If yours hasn’t been looked at since last winter, now is a good time, before you’re relying on it.

It's Fire Prevention Week, so here are two easy things to do before your first fire this fall. Have the chimney swept and inspected, then walk the house and check your smoke and CO detectors. You want one in every bedroom and one in each common area, and it takes about a minute to test them all. That covers the two things you most want working on a cold night.

Harvest season around Cedar Falls keeps everybody busy, and the chimney is easy to forget until the first cold night. Getting it swept in the next few weeks takes it off the list.

During a routine inspection, our technician spotted something easy to miss from the ground: a metal chase cover cut too short, leaving a strip of wood trim exposed right at the edge. Every time it rains, water finds that gap and soaks into wood that was never meant to get wet. This is exactly the kind of problem you only catch by actually looking. If your chimney hasn't been inspected in a while, book a full inspection at midtownsweeps.com.

Cold winters and older housing stock make Cedar Falls a place where small gaps become real problems. A recent inspection found a chase cover cut short, with wood trim already exposed to rain and melting snow. Better to catch it now than deal with rot later. Book at midtownsweeps.com.

We pulled a condemned factory-built fireplace out of a two-story building this week. Behind the wall was a venting elbow joint that had failed beyond repair, hidden for who knows how long. That's why we inspect.

Cedar Falls, this week's job was a reminder of what inspections are for. We condemned a factory-built fireplace after finding a venting elbow joint that had failed beyond repair behind the wall.

Energy costs keep climbing, and more homeowners are done guessing what next month's utility bill will look like. Wood and pellet appliances give you something the grid can't: real control over your heating costs and warmth you can actually count on. 2026 is shaping up to be a great year to make the switch.

Why That Fireplace "Refresh" on TikTok Could Cost You

If you've seen the chimney pros going viral for their reactions to home-flipper DIY jobs, you know the cringe is real. Painting over a firebox, caulking with the wrong materials, sealing things that need to breathe, these "quick fixes" can trap heat, hide damage, and turn a cosmetic project into a genuine fire hazard.

Some fireplace maintenance is great to DIY: storing firewood off the ground and covered, keeping the hearth clear, and burning seasoned wood only. But anything involving the firebox, flue, or chimney structure is a job for someone trained to know what's safe.

Not sure if a past project was done right? Midtown Chimney Sweeps will inspect it, tell you straight, and fix what needs fixing. Book your inspection today.

With America celebrating 250 years, we think it's high time chimney sweeps had a celebration of our own.

Actually, we chimney sweeps celebrate every day anyway. In this whole wide world, there's no happier bloke.

Now that the ladder of life has been strung,
a chimney sweep's on the bottommost rung.
Though we spend our days in ashes and soot,
my, what a sight — and oh, what a lot of fun.

We did have to write up two team members last week.

They got it in their heads that playing golf from house to house — chimney top to chimney top — would be a fun idea.

No way.

We explained once again the need to always stay on the SAME roof when playing a consistent game.

But they didn't listen.

So they got written up.

Here's a picture of what our chimney safety manual clearly indicates as acceptable.

Manual Figure 7B: Approved Same-Roof Golfing Procedure
Not recommended. Merely tolerated by management in cartoon form.

A wood insert installed into a framed wall cavity. Construction debris on the firebox floor. A wooden beam sitting directly under the ash door. This family used this fireplace every winter and had no idea any of it was there. That is exactly why an inspection matters. Book yours at midtownsweeps.com.
