Chimney services Buffalo Grove homeowners can book
Yes, we work in Buffalo Grove. The jobs fall into three groups: the chimney itself, the fireplace or stove below it, and the dryer vent that runs from the laundry to the outside.
On the chimney side, that means sweeping the flue and removing creosote, clearing nests and blockages, and fixing what is wrong with the structure. A look inside the flue and firebox is often the first step when you are not sure what is causing smoke, odors or water stains. From there, masonry, crown, flashing and liner fixes handle the damage that turns up, and a new cap to keep out rain and animals closes the top of the flue.
Inside the house, we clean and repair wood-burning fireplaces, inserts and wood stoves, service and install gas fireplaces and gas logs, and replace doors, glass and worn firebox panels.
For the laundry, we clean dryer vents, pull out lint and blockages, test airflow, and repair, replace or reroute vent runs that are crushed, too long or poorly routed.

- Whether it is a masonry chimney or a factory-built (prefab) unit with a metal flue

- What you are noticing: smoke in the room, a smell, water stains, sounds of animals, or a dryer that takes too long
- Where the dryer vent exits: a wall or the roof
