Chimney Sweeps
Our chimney sweeps remove soot, creosote, and debris to ensure safe, efficient operation. We include a complimentary 14-point inspection with photos to identify potential issues. Regular cleaning prevents house fires and carbon monoxide buildup, maintaining optimal performance during Chicago winters.

We perform Level 1, 2, and 3 inspections per NFPA 211 standards to assess structural integrity and safety. Our technicians check for cracks, water damage, and obstructions using video scans when needed. Annual inspections are recommended to prevent emergencies and maintain warranty compliance.
Chimney Repairs
We address cracks, crumbling mortar, and water leaks through tuckpointing, crown coat application, and flashing repair. Our methods restore structural integrity and prevent further damage. We avoid unnecessary rebuilds by prioritizing targeted repairs with durable materials.
Dryer Vent Cleaning
Our technicians clean lint buildup from dryer vents to reduce fire risk and improve appliance efficiency. We recommend annual maintenance to prevent blockages caused by debris accumulation. This service extends dryer lifespan and lowers energy costs.

We install stainless steel and copper chimney caps to prevent water intrusion, animal entry, and downdrafts. Our caps include mesh screens to stop sparks and debris while maintaining airflow. Lifetime warranties cover damage or dislodgement from normal conditions.
