Fireplaces and flues
Fireplaces, Stoves and Flues in Portland Homes
Every chimney in the metro serves one of a handful of systems, from an open brick fireplace in a 1910 foursquare to a pellet stove in a 1990s tract home, and each one is swept, inspected and repaired a little differently.
Fireplaces
Open masonry fireplaces, factory-built metal fireboxes and gas units, with the flue each one needs.
Factory-built fireplace
We inspect, sweep and repair factory-built fireplaces in Portland-area houses and condos, from refractory panels to the pipe, chase cover and cap.
from $129parts and labor
Gas fireplace and insert
We inspect gas fireplace, gas insert and log set venting across the Portland metro and refer burner work to a gas fitter.
from $129parts and labor
Stoves and inserts
Freestanding wood stoves, inserts set into an old fireplace, and pellet stoves with their own vent.
Wood stove
We sweep wood stoves across the Portland metro, connector pipe to cap, and read the label on the back for a home sale.
from $279parts and labor
Fireplace insert
We clean wood-burning fireplace inserts around Portland by sweeping the liner from the top and the firebox from below; when an insert was slid into an open flue with no liner, we pull it, inspect the chimney and say what it needs.
from $279parts and labor
Pellet stove
We clean pellet stoves and pellet inserts across the Portland metro, from the burn pot to the vent termination.
from $299parts and labor
Flues and chimneys
The chimneys that carry a furnace or water heater, and the old brick flues that were never lined at all.
Furnace and water heater flue
We camera-inspect, sweep, reline and cap the masonry flue that serves a gas furnace and water heater in older Portland houses, including the flue a new sidewall-vented furnace left behind with only the water heater on it.
from $129parts and labor
Unlined brick chimney
A brick flue built with no clay tile inside, found in many Portland houses from the 1900s to the 1920s, whose mortar joints erode from the inside until heat and flue gases can reach the framing.
from $129parts and labor
Not sure what you have?
Open the damper and look up with a flashlight. Rough brick or square clay tiles mean a masonry chimney; smooth black metal with a round pipe means a factory-built unit or a lined flue. A metal box set into an old brick opening is an insert, and a freestanding unit on its own hearth is a stove.
If that does not settle it, text us a photo of the opening with the lights on and one of the chimney top from the yard. The shape of the firebox and the top of the flue usually tell us the type.
