The first thing a technician checks upon arrival in Chicago is the overall condition of the chimney from the outside. This visual assessment, done from the ground and then on the roof, helps them identify any immediate structural concerns. Licensed pros understand the diverse architecture of Chicago, from historic greystone buildings to newer constructions. When you call, you speak directly with us, the service provider. We’ll ask about your home, such as its location within Chicago, and the type of chimney you have. This helps us understand any specific needs. The crew arrives equipped with specialized tools for the job. They begin with a thorough visual inspection of your chimney's exterior. They check the chimney cap, crown, and masonry for any signs of wear or damage. They look for loose bricks or crumbling mortar. Then, they’ll inspect the flashing where the chimney meets the roof. This area is critical for preventing water intrusion. Safety is paramount, especially in a city with Chicago's density of 11699 people per square mile. They’ll lay down protective drop cloths. This protects your floors and furniture from soot and dust. They bring brushes, rods, and a high-powered vacuum with a HEPA filter. The vacuum ensures that fine particles are captured, keeping your home clean. The actual sweeping process involves using brushes to scrub the inside of the flue. This removes creosote, a flammable residue from burning wood. Significant creosote buildup is a primary cause of chimney fires. Pros work from the top down, ensuring the entire flue is cleared. They pay close attention to the damper and smoke chamber. These areas often collect the most creosote. After sweeping, a final inspection confirms the flue is clear. They’ll discuss their findings with you and recommend any necessary repairs. This might include repointing mortar or repairing the chimney crown. They'll also advise on future cleaning schedules. This proactive approach keeps your Chicago home safe and your chimney functioning optimally. Call us for your free estimate.

What affects the price

Cleaning costs depend on a few specific things regarding your fireplace setup. We look at the total height of the chimney, the number of flues, and how much creosote buildup has accumulated over time. If your chimney has been neglected for several seasons, or if there are blockages like animal nests or heavy debris, the labor required increases. The type of liner and the fireplace architecture also play a role in the complexity of the service. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
