Chimcare Locations in Oregon

If you have lived through a few western Oregon winters, you know what months of steady rain do to a house. A chimney stands in that weather year-round, and brick and mortar are not waterproof. Moisture works into small cracks in the crown or the flashing, and over the years it shows up as flaking brick, a rusted damper, or a stain on the ceiling near the fireplace. Add the wood-burning that carries many homes here through the damp season, and you get the two visits Oregon homeowners book most: a sweep to clear creosote before burning season, and an inspection that catches water damage while it is still a small repair. A chimney inspection is $69, a sweep with inspection included is $299, and repair or masonry work is quoted in writing before anything begins, with no obligation on your end.

If your fireplace is gas rather than wood, a $49 diagnostic covers the common complaints, a unit that will not light, will not stay lit, or a pilot that keeps going out.

One piece of practical advice: late summer and early fall are the easiest times to get on the schedule, before the first cold snap fills the calendar. Find your city below to see which branch serves your neighborhood, then request service online, a certified chimney technician will take it from there.
