Annual chimney sweeping, along with a licensed chimney inspection, are two of the best ways to keep your chimney working right and running with greater safety. Do you know when your chimney was last cleaned and inspected?

Deerfield, IL, homeowners have relied on Lindemann Chimney & Fireplace, Heating & Cooling for these two important services since 1969. We work throughout Cook and Lake counties in Illinois.

Chimney cleaning in Deerfield, IL

Why Chimneys Need to Be Cleaned

There are two main reasons.

Flammable creosote

When wood burns, its smoke turns into creosote, which can be a sticky, solid, puffy, or flaky substance that's highly flammable. Most reported chimney fires in Deerfield, IL, and the greater Chicago, IL, area each year are started by ignited creosote.

Draft-hindering debris

If your chimney has no protective chimney cap, the flue is open to debris from nearby trees and small animals that often build nests. This debris can accumulate and block the draft, allowing smoke and carbon monoxide to enter your home.

Chimney sweeping removes creosote and clears out debris. A chimney cap will keep debris out.

A Thorough Chimney Sweeping Process

Lindemann’s chimney sweep technicians are certified through the Chimney Safety Institute of America (CSIA). We clean chimneys the right way, using special chimney-sweep brushes, scrubbers, solvents, and HEPA-equipped commercial vacuums.

We’ll protect the work area in your home with tarps to keep dust and soot off your furnishings, rugs, carpets, and other items. We take special care to leave your room exactly as we found it.

In addition to cleaning the chimney flue, we also remove built-up creosote from the chimney cap, smoke chamber, fireplace damper, and the firebox surfaces. We clean the whole chimney system, not just part of it.

Licensed Chimney Inspections

An annual chimney safety inspection is included in all chimney sweeping jobs so we can spot early signs of trouble and get them repaired quickly. You can also schedule an inspection by itself, apart from chimney cleaning.

We inspect all areas of your chimney system that are readily accessible:

  • Chimney cap or chase cover
  • Concrete chimney crown
  • Bricks and mortar of the masonry
  • Chimney flashing
  • Chimney liner
  • Fireplace damper
  • Firebox

An extendable video camera that helps us see “hidden” spaces can be included in any inspection.

Deerfield, IL Special Chimney Inspections

Lindemann offers special chimney inspections that are more involved and specific than the annual safety inspection. These inspections are needed when:

  • You're adding a new appliance to vent through your chimney, relining the chimney, or performing some other system alteration
  • Damage is suspected following a storm, chimney fire, or other event
  • You’re preparing to put your house on the market for sale
  • The chimney is visibly and significantly damaged and requires a full inspection to determine the extent of the damage and develop a restoration plan

Call Your Chicago Chimney Professionals

With all inspections, we’ll share our inspection report with you and explain what we found and how we propose to resolve it. You'll know what's wrong, why it's wrong, what we're going to do, how much it will cost, and how long it will take before we start any work.
