Portland, with its density of 4723 people per square mile, means many homes are situated close together, making chimney maintenance a shared concern. Before you call, you can check for obvious signs like creosote buildup on the damper or soot around the firebox opening. Look up inside the flue with a flashlight; if you see a significant amount of black, flaky material, it's time for a sweep. This buildup is flammable and can lead to chimney fires.

What affects the price

Cleaning costs depend on a few specific things regarding your fireplace setup. We look at the total height of the chimney, the number of flues, and how much creosote buildup has accumulated over time. If your chimney has been neglected for several seasons, or if there are blockages like animal nests or heavy debris, the labor required increases. The type of liner and the fireplace architecture also play a role in the complexity of the service. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
