East of Toronto, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa combine older brick homes near the lake and in downtown Oshawa and Whitby with large post-2000 subdivisions. Further out, Brooklin, Courtice, Bowmanville and Port Perry have more wood stoves and rural chimneys.
Durham searches lean toward chimney and fireplace inspections, which is where most jobs start, followed by sweeps and cap installs. The lake-effect snow that hits the Durham shoreline also makes spring leak checks worth booking.
