Why sweeping matters
Every fire leaves a little of itself behind. Creosote — the tarry residue of burned wood — builds up inside the flue, and enough of it is fuel for a chimney fire. Portland's long heating season means local chimneys work hard from October to April, and an annual sweep is the single best thing you can do for the system.
Sweeping also clears soot, leaves, and nesting debris that choke the draft. A clean flue pulls smoke up the way it should, so fires light easier and burn cleaner.

FAQs
How long does a chimney sweep take?
Most sweeps take about an hour, a bit longer if the buildup is heavy or the setup is complex.
Will it make a mess in my house?
No — drop cloths go down first and dust is controlled at the fireplace opening. Your room stays as clean as we found it.
When is the best time to sweep?
Late summer and early fall, before the burning season starts. But any time is better than not at all.
