Serving West Chicago Homes: Chimney, Fireplace & Dryer Vent Service

From a smoky fireplace to a dryer that takes two cycles to dry a load, homes in West Chicago can book chimney, fireplace and dryer vent work with one company that does the job itself.

Chimney services West Chicago homeowners can book

Most chimney calls start with something you notice: a smell when the weather turns damp, a fire that won't draw, debris in the firebox, or a stain on the ceiling near the chimney. We handle the cleaning, the diagnosis and the fix, so you aren't passed between companies to get one problem solved.

  • Sweeping, flue cleaning and creosote removal for chimneys that see regular use
  • A chimney inspection before the burning season, after a storm, or when you're buying or selling a home
  • Masonry, crown, flashing, liner and leak work through our chimney repair service
  • Caps, animal screens and spark arrestors to keep weather and wildlife out, and how chimney cap installation works if you're weighing one
  • Removal of animals, nests, blockages and lingering odors

Fireplaces, gas appliances and dryer vents

Gas fireplace and gas appliance work is offered, including service, gas logs and gas line installation. We work on all major brands of fireplaces and inserts, so you don't need to track down a specialist for the unit you already have.

Dryer vents are a common blind spot. Lint builds up in long or crushed runs and slows drying long before anything looks wrong. We clean vents, test airflow, clear blockages, and repair, reroute or replace vent runs and covers. Commercial and property-manager work is offered too, for buildings with many units or shared laundry.

If you own or manage property in more than one town, the same services are available in Wheaton, Carol Stream and Glendale Heights. Get in touch to request an estimate for any of them.

West Chicago chimney & vent questions

What should I do if I hear something living in my West Chicago chimney?

Don't light a fire or try to smoke it out, and keep the damper closed so the animal can't get into the house. Only close it once the fireplace is completely cold and no stove, furnace or water heater vents into that flue. Call us: we remove animals and nests, then can install a cap or animal screen so it doesn't happen again.

Can my chimney be checked after a storm in West Chicago?

Yes. We inspect chimneys for storm damage, looking at the crown, cap, flashing and masonry, and we can make the repairs if anything is found.

I'm buying or selling a home in West Chicago. Can the chimney be looked at first?

Yes. Real estate chimney inspections are offered, and a camera inspection can show the condition inside the flue that can't be seen from the firebox or the roof.
