Chimney Sweeping Chicago, IL

We recommend that you have your chimney professionally swept (cleaned) once a year. Chimney sweeping:

Removes flammable creosote, which is the #1 cause of all reported chimney fires
Removes leaves, twigs, animal nests, and other debris that can block the draft and send smoke and deadly carbon monoxide into your home

Our chimney sweep technicians are certified through the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA) and have the tools and experience to do the job correctly.

Chimney Rebuilding

Harsh winters, brutal summers, and the all-around intense weather we have in the Chicago, IL, area eventually take their toll on even the strongest chimneys. When major damage occurs, chimney rebuilding is usually the right solution.

Lindemann rebuilds chimneys with care, ensuring the structure and lining are properly sized for the fireplace. We use the best bricks and the strongest mortar compounds, crafting the new chimney to operate safely and efficiently, and to look beautiful while doing so.
