Fireplace types include wood, vented gas, vent-free gas, electric and ethanol, in brick, stone or concrete, metal, wood or plaster, and in buildings from single-level to high-rise.

Portland's long rainy season is the main threat to chimneys. Water gets in through cracked crowns, worn mortar, missing caps and failing flashing, and over time it damages bricks, rusts dampers and stains ceilings and walls near the chimney. Moss on shaded roofs can hold water against flashing. Older homes in the city often have unlined or clay-lined masonry chimneys, and a damaged liner may need replacing before the fireplace is safe to use. Portland and the surrounding area also have rules on wood burning during poor air quality days, which some homeowners consider when deciding between wood and gas.

When you contact Smart Chimney, describe the fireplace type, its age and when it was last swept, and any signs of water, odor or smoke. Ask whether an inspection includes a camera look inside the flue and what the report covers.
