The typical chimney can last about 40 years before requiring it to be replaced. This is done to make sure it is not only still up to code but also to keep it from becoming a serious fire risk.
Chimney maintenance is a major part in continuing the lifespan of your chimney. Neglecting the maintenance of your chimney can cause costly damages to the home itself such as dry rot, build up of mold, and water damages due to the Oregon rain making its way in. This is why we recommend an annual chimney inspection to ensure the quality of your chimney and safety of your family.
If we find that the chimney is unsalvageable we will happily give you a quote to replace it!
