Licensed, insured pros serve every neighborhood in Chicago. They begin by preparing the area around your fireplace with drop cloths to protect your floors and furniture. Then, they use specialized brushes and vacuums to scrub away soot and creosote.

They are equipped to handle the diverse range of chimney types found across the city. Their work ensures your chimney operates safely and efficiently, preventing potential hazards.

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.
