The Heater in the Workshop Needs a Clean Flue Too

Plenty of people heat a workshop, garage or backyard studio with a small wood stove. These spaces are dusty, the pipe runs are often long, and the fire often goes in fast on a cold morning. Chimney Sweep Port Moody brings its Chimney Sweep routine out to the outbuilding, where we look closely at the stovepipe, joints and cap. If the space has a gas heater or fireplace, Gas Fireplace Maintenance fits into the same trip. Whatever you build in Port Moody, we are glad to look after the flue that keeps it warm.

Pipe Runs Cleaned Joint by Joint

Stovepipe and connectors are taken apart where needed, brushed out and reassembled, with each joint checked for a secure fit and clean seams.

Gas Heaters Included Too

If a gas unit warms the space, we clean it and look at the vent, because sawdust, lint and cobwebs gather quickly in work areas.

What Homeowners in Port Moody Say About Us

Hear from homeowners in Port Moody about how Chimney Sweep Port Moody transformed their chimney and fireplace experience with reliable, professional services you can trust.

Nora MacKenzie

At our house in Heritage Woods, rainwater was leaking around the chimney and staining the ceiling. Chimney Sweep Port Moody replaced the damaged flashing, sealed the surrounding joints, and checked the attic for moisture. The next storm passed without a single drip, and I am extremely grateful.

Adrian Wong

Our place in Moody Centre kept filling with smoke whenever we opened the fireplace doors. Chimney Sweep Port Moody inspected the chimney, removed a thick obstruction near the smoke chamber, and adjusted the damper. The draft improved immediately, and we can finally enjoy the fireplace without opening every window.

Claire Bouchard

While preparing the fireplace in our Ioco home for winter, I noticed pieces of clay inside the firebox. Chimney Sweep Port Moody found a deteriorating flue liner, installed a safe replacement, and tested the entire venting system. Their careful work prevented a serious hazard and gave our family real peace of mind.

Dylan Sandhu

At our College Park townhouse, the chimney cap began rattling loudly during every windy night. Chimney Sweep Port Moody discovered that the mounting brackets had rusted through, replaced the cap hardware, and reinforced the crown. Everything is secure and quiet now, and I appreciate how quickly they solved the problem.

Tessa Campbell

The chimney at our Noons Creek property developed white stains and crumbling mortar after months of wet weather. Chimney Sweep Port Moody repaired the damaged joints, cleaned the masonry, and applied a breathable water-resistant treatment. The brickwork looks excellent again, and I am thankful they stopped the damage from spreading.

Owen Park

During a cold evening at our place in Glenayre, the gas fireplace suddenly shut off and would not relight. Chimney Sweep Port Moody cleaned the pilot assembly, replaced a worn thermocouple, and confirmed the vent was clear. The unit has worked perfectly since, and their prompt help was greatly appreciated.

Maya Robertson

A strong musty smell appeared whenever we used the fireplace, so I contacted Chimney Sweep Port Moody for help. Their technician found moisture and old debris trapped behind the damper, cleaned the affected area, and sealed a small opening. The odor disappeared completely, and our living room feels comfortable again.

Caleb Nguyen

I heard scratching sounds inside the chimney and worried that an animal had become trapped. Chimney Sweep Port Moody safely removed a squirrel nest, inspected the flue for damage, and installed a secure wildlife screen. They handled everything carefully, and I am relieved the chimney is protected from another unwanted visitor.

Elise Fournier

Our fireplace was producing very little heat even though the fire looked normal. Chimney Sweep Port Moody discovered heavy soot buildup around the smoke shelf and a partially closed damper mechanism. They completed a detailed cleaning and adjustment, and the fireplace now burns brighter, warmer, and far more efficiently.

Jonah Stewart

Several bricks near the top of my chimney started shifting after repeated freeze and thaw cycles. Chimney Sweep Port Moody removed the unstable masonry, rebuilt the damaged section, and installed a new crown with proper drainage. The chimney looks solid again, and I am grateful for their careful, lasting repair.

Pipe Slope and Joints

Stovepipe should rise gently with snug, correctly oriented joints, and we check that yours does.

Connector Length

Overlong or twisting connectors hamper draft and gather soot, so we note how the pipe was routed.

Wall Shield Spacing

Heat shields work only with the right air gap behind them, which we look at with a tape and a flashlight.

Hearth Protection

The floor beneath and around a stove should extend far enough, and we tell you if it falls short.

Cap and Collar Fit

The top of the system gets a quick check for secure parts that keep rain out and sparks in.

Notes You Can Use

A short written summary helps you talk with the installer, or decide whether anything should be revisited.

Cold-Snap Readiness

When the Cold Snap Arrives, the Hearth Works Hardest

A few brutal nights can turn an occasional fireplace into the main heat source almost overnight. That sudden extra workload is when weak flues, loose pipes and neglected dampers get noticed. The answers below are for anyone who wants the fireplace ready before the thermometer plunges. If you are planning around a forecast in Port Moody, mention your timeline when you call.

A cold chase is common and often points to uninsulated walls or air leaks around the firebox. Cold air sinking down the flue can also chill the surface. Sealing and insulating the chase may help, but only with materials suited to the clearance rules around a chimney, since the wrong insulation near hot parts is dangerous. Ask a technician before stuffing anything inside.

Hot fires help keep new buildup down, but they do not remove existing deposits and can be risky. Burning a big blaze to clean the flue is how many chimney fires start, because a thick layer of creosote can ignite and burn violently. Deposits come out with brushes and tools, not with extra heat. A hot, clean-burning routine and regular cleaning work together.

The same basic rule applies: the pipe should rise well above the roof and any nearby obstacles, with the exact numbers coming from the pipe maker and the local building rules. There is also a limit on how much unsupported pipe can stand above the roof without bracing, which depends on the product. Check the instructions and ask a technician if you plan to change it.

Not if it is painted, stained or pressure-treated. Those materials release toxic fumes, and the residue can harm the chimney as well as the people breathing the air. Plain untreated offcuts are fine when dry, but pallets often carry chemical treatments, so check the markings first. When in doubt, leave it out. Clean split firewood is a safer choice in any appliance.

Light surface rust on cast iron or steel is normal and can be cleaned with a wire brush and stove polish. Deep pitting, thin flaking metal or cracks, especially near the seams, can let heat or smoke through, so those parts need professional attention. Keep the unit dry between seasons, and if a leaky roof or chimney above it is the cause, fix that first or the rust will return.

A visible lean is worth a prompt look. It can come from foundation settling, a failed footing, water damage to the mortar or ground movement after repeated freezing and thawing. Large cracks between the chimney and the house wall, or gaps that open and close with the seasons, point the same way. Avoid using the fireplace until it is checked. A technician or a structural professional can judge whether it needs rebuilding or a simpler repair.
