Chicago's Premier Chimney Sweep and Repair Pros


Chicago can get very cold in the winter months, with the temperature dropping sometimes below 0 degrees Fahrenheit. Any way in which one can find a way to keep the cold out and the warmth in is sought after. One of the best, most economical and romantic ways to do so is by installing a fireplace in your home. Depending on many factors, a fireplace can keep a house warm without ever turning the heat on. A fireplace must be installed by a competent and reliable chimney company to ensure that the fireplace, chimney, and all related chimney parts are installed properly. If any part is installed improperly or not quality workmanship, your home and family may be at risk of a chimney fire. According to the latest statistics available, there are over 25,000 chimney fires per year in the US that are responsible for approximately 125 million dollars in property damage. In addition to the initial fireplace installation, one must take care to have a yearly chimney sweep done to make sure that the chimney flue is clean and clear of all debris and ashes. It is also recommended to have a fireplace inspection done occasionally so you can check on the health of your fireplace and chimney and take care of all chimney maintenance that may need to be done before they turn into larger and more costly chimney repairs. Safety and security of both your fireplace and chimney will lead to peace of mind. Here at Chicago Chimney Sweep Pros we do all chimney services including chimney sweeps, chimney repairs, chimney maintenance, fireplace and chimney installation, and fireplace inspections for Chicago Il and its surrounding areas.

A chimney is outdoors and exposed to the harsh elements so it must be strong and sturdy enough to withstand the wear and tear of the outdoors. Even a really well built, high quality chimney will need repairs and maintenance. With 20 years of experience, you can rely on our team at Chicago Chimney Sweep Pros to take care of all your chimney maintenance and repairs with affordable prices and reliable, quick service. In addition to chimney repairs, we also do fireplace and chimney installation, fireplace inspections, and chimney sweeps also known as chimney cleaning or flue cleaning.

Fireplaces are also a décor option for any room in the house. They come in all types of designs and styles as well as different ways of actually working. There are wood burning fireplaces, gas burning fireplaces, electric fireplaces, ethanol burning fireplaces and even faux fireplaces. Each Fireplace has its pros and cons and with the help of a member of our team, we can guide you to the one most appropriate for your situation and price bracket. A fireplace can make a room feel more romantic or more modern, more artsy or more woodsy. Even an existing fireplace can be upgraded and redesigned to fit a new theme and feel. Another option you have with an existing fireplace is to change it from one type of fireplace to another. For example you can change a wood burning fireplace into an electric fireplace or a gas fireplace into an ethanol burning fireplace.

FAQs

For all your chimney sweep and chimney repair questions

  • How often do I need to have a chimney sweep done?

    According to the National Fire Protection Association and the Chimney Safety Institute of America, you should have your chimney swept and inspected annually. Even without regular fireplace use, one should a chimney sweep done before the winter months to ensure that there is not a dangerous amount of creosote buildup in the chimney chute. It will also catch any and all chimney repairs that need to be taken care of before they become a danger.

  • What is the goal of a chimney sweep?

    The byproducts of the smoke and fire from the fireplace is called creosote that can build up along the inside of the flue. Creosote is highly flammable and can be a fire hazard when left untreated. It can be dangerous to continue using a fireplace when there is an unsafe buildup of creosote in the flue where the smoke escapes the home. 

  • How long can I expect the chimney sweep to take?

    There are several variables that may come into account when figuring how long a chimney sweep may take. The average chimney that is swept annually and does not have an excesive amount of creosote will need around 60 minutes for a chimney sweep. 

  • Do I need to have a chimney sweep done for a gas fireplace or just a wood burning fireplace?

    All fireplaces that require a chimney must have a chimney sweep done. This is to ensure that the flue is intact and will not leak carbon monoxide. It will also bring to light any chimney repairs that may need to be taken care of like removing a birds nest or repairing the chimney masonry.
