Chimney sweep, inspection and repair in Lake Forest, IL
Our home base. We work on chimneys all over Lake Forest, from older estates to newer homes near the lake.
Lake Forest is where we are based, at 100 Saunders Road. It is a town of older and larger houses, many with more than one fireplace and more than one chimney. Those chimneys have often been standing for decades, and they have been through plenty of Lake Michigan winters.
In older Lake Forest homes we see a pattern: chimneys that were built well, but that are tired. Mortar is worn from freeze-and-thaw, crowns are cracked, and flue liners are original and hard to see into without a camera. A house with three fireplaces can mean three different conditions, so we look at each one separately instead of assuming they match.
If you are in Lake Forest and just want to know whether your chimney is safe to use this fall, an inspection is the place to start. If you already know what is wrong, tell us on the phone and we will plan the visit around it.

Questions from Lake Forest homeowners
Do you work in all parts of Lake Forest?
Yes. We are based in Lake Forest, so it is the town we know best.
My house has several fireplaces. Do they all need checking?
Each chimney is its own system, so we check each one you plan to use.
Can you look at an older chimney that has not been used in years?
Yes. An old chimney should be inspected before the first fire, because things shift and deteriorate while it sits unused.
