Chimney Sweep in Chicago, IL

A chimney sweep removes the soot and creosote that build up inside the flue every time you burn. It lowers the risk of a chimney fire and helps the fireplace draw properly.

The work

Chimney Sweep in Chicago

We protect the room with drop cloths and run a sealed vacuum while we brush the flue from top to bottom. The smoke shelf, smoke chamber and firebox are cleaned too.

Every sweep includes a look at the flue, damper, crown and cap, with photos of anything that needs attention. If the creosote is glazed and won't brush out, we explain the options before doing anything more.

See the full chimney sweep page for every detail of the work.

Why it matters here

Chimney Sweep in the Illinois climate

Chicagoland has long, cold winters with lake-effect snow, hot summers, and a lot of brick bungalows and two-flats.

Freeze-thaw breaks down mortar and spalls brick, and many older chimneys need tuckpointing, a new crown or a liner for a newer furnace or water heater.
