We suggest an annual cleaning and inspection for most Oregon homes. Heavy fireplace use may require more frequent service. This keeps your chimney safe and efficient.
Late spring or early fall are ideal. This is before or after the main heating season. Scheduling during these times ensures your chimney is ready for use.
Look for signs like soot around the fireplace or a smoky smell. You may also notice your fireplace isn't drawing well. A professional inspection is the surest way to know.
