Chimney Sweep Northbrook, IL
Chimney sweeping is an age-old craft that addresses two things:
- Creosote buildups in the chimney flue
- Debris in the flue
Creosote
Creosote is highly flammable and forms when smoke condenses in the chimney. It’s the #1 cause of reported chimney fires each year in Northbrook, IL, and throughout Cook County, IL.
Our CSIA-certified chimney sweeps use specialized tools and equipment to safely remove excess creosote, greatly reducing the risk of a chimney fire.
Debris
If you run your chimney without a chimney cap, the flue is open to leaves, twigs, small-animal nests, and other debris. As debris accumulates, it can narrow the drafting passage and send smoke and deadly carbon monoxide into your home.
Chimney sweeping removes debris. A chimney cap, which we can install, keeps debris out.
Chimney Inspections
We offer annual chimney safety inspections, as well as more in-depth inspections as outlined by the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA).
Level 1
This is the basic inspection that looks at all readily accessible parts of your chimney system. It should be performed once a year, regardless of whether problems exist.
Level 2
A Level 2 chimney inspection is called for when:
- A chimney fire, weather event or other occurrence may have caused damage
- You’re selling your Northbrook, IL, home
- You’re relining your chimney, adding an appliance to vent through it, or making other system alterations
Level 3
When a chimney has sustained significant damage, a Level 3 inspection is required. During this inspection, we'll usually remove parts of the chimney structure and nearby home materials so we can see the problem more clearly.
Following any chimney inspection, we’ll share our inspection report with you and explain what we found and what repairs or modifications are necessary.
