Jobs we quote most
Chase covers plus masonry repair
Clackamas is a community, not one subdivision. Around Sunnyside and Town Center you will see 1990s two-stories with prefab chases next to older brick. We treat those as two different chimneys.
Same east-metro rain as Milwaukie and Gresham. Prefab lids rust. Older brick spalls. A single “Clackamas chimney” package would miss that split, so we inspect first.
Expect a chase-cover quote on the newer houses and tuckpointing or a crown on the masonry ones. Sweep and inspection is $149 either way.
Clackamas is a busy, growing area in unincorporated Clackamas County, anchored by Sunnyside and the neighborhoods surrounding Clackamas Town Center, stretching toward Happy Valley and Damascus. Its homes span everything from 1970s ranches to brand-new construction, with a mix of masonry chimneys and prefabricated metal chases. M.Y Chimney Sweeps & Repairs is the locally owned team Clackamas homeowners trust to keep all of them safe and efficient.
Why Clackamas Chimneys Need Extra Attention
With such a range of home ages, Clackamas chimneys see every kind of wear — and the wet Pacific Northwest climate accelerates all of it. We commonly find:
- Rusted chase covers and worn caps on prefab chimneys
- Cracked or spalling brick and crumbling mortar on older masonry stacks
- Cracked crowns that let water seep into the chimney structure
- Failing flashing causing leaks where the chimney meets the roof
- Creosote buildup in homes that burn wood through the winter
An annual inspection is the cheapest way to avoid an expensive leak or repair. Cap and chase cover installation, crown rebuilds, and waterproofing are among our most-requested services in Clackamas.

Clackamas Housing Mix — What That Means for Your Chimney
From Sunnyside ranch homes to Town Center-area builds, Clackamas chimneys are not one type:
- Prefab chases with rusted factory covers from 80s–2000s construction
- Older brick chimneys needing tuckpointing and waterproofing
- Gas fireplace inserts that still need annual inspection and cleaning
- Roof leaks blamed on "the chimney" that are actually flashing
- Homes near Happy Valley / Damascus borders with the same moisture load
We identify construction type on arrival and recommend the right fix — chase cover vs. masonry — instead of a one-size sales pitch.
