Enjoying a warm fire in your fireplace is comforting and romantic experience -- especially in the chilly Oregon nights of winter -- but, a warm fire in the fireplace can also hide dangers. A well maintained fireplace and chimney will make for a safe and trusted fireplace that homeowners should not need to worry about. However, when those chimneys go unkempt for long enough, they become the perfect ignition source and accelerant for a massive house fire.
A house fire that starts in the chimney is 100% preventable.
Preventing chimney fires is completely preventable, it only takes regular cleaning and maintenance to your fireplace and chimney. Of course this includes chimney sweeping, but this also includes checking all of the masonry around your chimney, flashing, fireproofing, and even insulation. These are all services that are included in Portland Chimney Sweep and Masonry's maintenance plans and regular service offerings.
Oregon cold is only weeks away! Make sure you can warm yourself by your fireplace, and rest-assured that you and your home are safe.
