Oregon's climate can be damp. Rain is frequent, especially in the western part of the state. This moisture can affect chimneys. It can lead to masonry damage. Wood-burning fireplaces are popular in Oregon. This means creosote buildup is a concern. We recommend cleaning before the cold season starts.
We inspect for damage from moisture and use. We remove soot and creosote buildup. Blockages, like animal nests, are also checked for. Proper ventilation is key to a safe home. This is especially true in the Portland area where homes are often close together. Our sweeps ensure your fireplace is safe to use.
