Chimney services Hoffman Estates homeowners can book
Chimney work covers everything from routine sweeping and creosote removal to clearing nests and other blockages from the flue. If you aren't sure what shape your chimney is in, start with a full chimney and flue inspection. It shows whether the system is ready to use or what needs attention first.
When something needs fixing, our masonry, crown and leak repair work covers cracked crowns, worn mortar joints, failed flashing and damaged liners. Many water and animal problems start at the top of the chimney, so a properly fitted chimney cap is often a simple fix that keeps rain, debris and wildlife out of the flue.
Fireplaces, gas units and dryer vents
The work doesn't stop at the chimney. We clean, repair and install wood-burning fireplaces, inserts and wood stoves. We also service and install gas fireplaces and gas logs, and we work on all major fireplace brands.
In the laundry room, we clean and inspect dryer vents, test airflow, remove lint and blockages, and repair, replace or reroute vent runs that are too long or crushed. Rental owners, property managers and commercial buildings can book the same chimney and vent work.
