Warning signs
Dear neighbor,
My grandfather began cleaning chimneys across Chicago with a single truck, a set of rods, and a commitment to leave every hearth better than he found it. That approach has not changed.
When you call, you speak with our family, not an outsourced operator, and the technician at your door is someone we trained from the ground up. Our reputation rides on every job.

What our neighbors say
“The technician explained each photo in the report and was upfront about what did not need fixing until spring.”
“Squirrels had been living in our chimney for over a year. The cap was installed within days of my call.”
“Our dryer went from needing two runs back to finishing in one that same afternoon after the vent was cleaned.”
Proudly serving Chicago, IL and nearby communities, including:
Not on the list? Call (872) 366-9735 — we might still cover your area.
A standard sweep usually takes around an hour. Adding a camera inspection extends it by another 30 to 45 minutes.
We spread drop cloths from the entrance to the hearth, put on shoe covers, seal the fireplace opening, and keep a HEPA vacuum running throughout.
Once a year is the standard for homes that regularly burn wood. If you go through more than a cord per season or notice dark soot flakes, schedule a cleaning earlier.
Late summer or early fall works best. Appointments fill up fast once the first cold snap hits, so booking by September ensures you are set.
We run a camera through the flue liner, examine the crown, cap, flashing, damper, and firebox, and deliver a written report with photographs.
A single call secures the appointment, the time window, and the report.
