Oregon. We serve Eugene and Salem. Our state has a varied climate. Coastal areas are wet. Inland areas can be dry and hot, then cold. This means chimneys work hard in different ways.
Oregon's weather is a big factor for chimney cleaning. The wet coast means mold and creosote can build up. The dry inland summers mean more fireplace use to beat the heat, and then cold winters bring heavy wood burning. This constant use means your chimney needs regular checks. We work year-round, but fall is a busy time. Many folks want their chimney ready before the cold hits hard. You don't need a special permit for cleaning here, but we follow all safety rules. We focus on your home's safety and efficiency.
The best time to clean your chimney in Oregon is often in the fall. This gets it ready for the colder months when you'll use it most. However, we can clean your chimney any time of year. Spring is also a good time to get it done after a long winter of use.
