We understand that navigating chimney maintenance can be confusing. We’ve compiled answers to the most common questions Chicago homeowners ask about cleaning, inspection, and chimney repair, ensuring you know exactly what to expect from Gentle Sweep Chimney Sweep.
For safety and efficiency, the NFPA strongly recommends having your chimney and venting system inspected and cleaned at least once a year. In Chicago, where chimneys work hard during winter, annual service ensures dangerous creosote buildup is removed, preventing potential chimney fires.
Watch out for several key indicators: strange smells, smoke spilling back into your living room, visible damage to the exterior masonry, or pieces of flue tile or mortar falling into the firebox. If you see any of these signs, contact our Chicago chimney services team immediately—it usually signals required chimney repair.
Our comprehensive inspection goes beyond a simple visual check. We perform a detailed evaluation of the flue liner, smoke chamber, firebox, damper, and exterior structure, specifically looking for blockages, structural defects, and hazards that require chimney repair. We provide detailed reports so you can be confident in your chimney's condition.
