Should you clean your chimney before the cold hits in Camas?
If your chimney hasn’t been swept since last fall, the answer is yes. Camas’ damp winters mean creosote, flammable tar, builds up faster here than in drier areas. A sweep removes it, reduces fire hazards, and improves airflow so your fireplace burns cleaner. First-time homeowners often ask if they really need this. The short answer: if you use your fireplace, yes. Even gas fireplaces need annual inspections to check for blockages or rust. Read our Camas-specific guide on chimney safety hazards here to spot warning signs before they become emergencies. Pro tip: If your chimney’s over 20 years old, schedule a full inspection, older masonry cracks easier in our rainy season.
