Inspection & Care
Chimney Inspection
A full inspection of flue, liner, cap, crown, flashing and firebox — camera inside the flue, with a plain-language report of what is safe, what is not, and what can wait. In Amity, the camera reads a wet flue closely: tiles washed by years of leaking rain, mortar softened from the inside, and tarry creosote from damp wood. That local standard is what chimney inspection in Amity, OR means with Chimney Service Co.

Install & Replace
Chimney Cap Installation
A quality stainless cap keeps rain, birds and sparks where they belong. Fitted to your flue, secured properly, and screened against animals. In Yamhill County, stainless holds up in air that rarely lets metal dry, where a plain cap rusts through and opens the flue to the weather. When neighbors talk about chimney cap installation in Amity, OR, this is the visit they mean.

Chimney Liner Repair
Cracked tiles, gaps at the joints, a liner that is shifting — liner faults found on camera and repaired so hot gases stay inside the Amity flue where they belong. For chimney liner repair in Amity, OR, one call books the visit and a local tech takes it from there.

A chimney in Amity is not fighting cold so much as water - months of rain, wind-driven storms and masonry that rarely gets a chance to dry out. This is what we actually find here, and what we check on every visit.
Moss, algae and ivy love a Northwest chimney, and they are not just untidy - growth holds moisture against the masonry and works roots into softened mortar joints. A chimney that stays green stays wet. We flag growth and the damp damage under it on every inspection in Amity.
Dampers, caps, flashing and metal flue parts rust faster in Amity than almost anywhere, because they rarely dry out completely. A damper rusted half-open wastes heat all winter, and a rusted-through cap is an open door for rain. We check the metal parts most sweeps skip entirely.
Winter storms drop limbs, needles and cones into open flues across Amity, and a blocked flue pushes smoke and carbon monoxide back into the room. Evergreen debris also holds moisture against the flue walls. A sound, screened cap keeps the flue clear through storm season without hurting the draw.
When a hard freeze follows weeks of rain, water trapped in saturated masonry expands as it turns to ice, cracking mortar and splitting brick faces. Northwest chimneys get fewer freezes than mountain ones, but the ones they get land on wet masonry. Post-freeze cracking is a repair we watch for here.

A wet, cold flue draws poorly until it warms, and water in the chimney makes that worse. The cause can also be a partial blockage from storm debris or creosote swollen with moisture. A tech checks the flue, cap and liner on camera in Amity and fixes the cause, rather than treating every smoky startup as normal Northwest weather.
At least once a year if you burn regularly, and after roughly every cord of wood. Damp wood and cool, smoky fires - both common here - lay down wet, tarry creosote faster than dry wood and hot fires do. That buildup is both a fire risk and the source of the sour smell a wet flue carries all summer.
Often, yes, if the frame is sound; a rusted damper that will not seal wastes heat every night whether you burn or not. If the damper is rusted through, replacement is the honest fix. Either way, the rust is a sign water is getting in above it, so we check the cap and crown as part of the same visit.
Not always. A liner cracked by freeze damage or washed by years of water leaking in can let heat and exhaust escape toward the framing. Liner condition is invisible from the firebox, which is why we inspect on camera. If sections have failed, we repair the liner so gases stay inside the flue where they belong.
Not before an inspection. A Northwest chimney may have decades of rain damage that never showed indoors: softened mortar, a rusted damper, a stained and cracked liner. One inspection tells you what you have, whether it is safe to light, and what to repair first, in a plain-language report you can keep.
No — and be wary of anyone who does. Every chimney fails differently, so a phone price is a guess that changes at your door. Our estimates are free: a tech looks at the actual problem, then gives you one clear price before any work starts.
