Oregon's climate, characterized by wet winters and periods of dry heat, impacts chimney maintenance. In the Portland area, the frequent use of wood-burning appliances during cooler months makes professional cleaning a necessity.
For homeowners in Oregon, particularly those in the Portland region, the damp climate can contribute to certain chimney issues, although dry periods also necessitate vigilance. Our cleaning process involves a comprehensive inspection to check for creosote buildup, animal nests, or other obstructions within the flue. We then use specialized tools to thoroughly brush and clean the chimney interior, ensuring safe and efficient operation. We also examine the chimney's exterior and structure for any signs of wear or damage. Oregon has specific building codes and licensing requirements for chimney service providers, which we strictly follow.
Before our arrival, please clear the space around your fireplace or wood stove. Remove any furniture or decorative items from the hearth and mantel. We will lay down protective sheeting to keep your home clean during the service.
