Current Fireplace Cleaning Pricing in Winnetka

Chimney Sweep – $335

For wood-burning fireplaces, our chimney sweep service includes removal of creosote and combustible buildup from the smoke chamber and flue, along with a visual safety inspection of the fireplace and chimney system.

Gas Log Refresh – $335

For gas fireplaces and gas log sets, our Gas Refresh service includes cleaning the gas logs, burners, and burner pan, along with replacement of silica sand, ember material, or lava rock as needed. A visual safety inspection is also included.

Chimney Inspection Only – $205

If the technician determines that a sweep or gas refresh is not needed, the visit is reduced to our inspection-only rate.

What Is Included During the Visit?

Every appointment includes an evaluation of the fireplace and chimney system. Depending on the fireplace type, our technicians may:

• Inspect the fireplace interior
• Inspect the chimney exterior
• Evaluate the flue or liner system
• Use chimney camera equipment when possible
• Identify any safety concerns or maintenance needs
• Provide recommendations and answer questions on-site

Most appointments take approximately 1 to 2 hours.

Do I Need a Chimney Inspection Every Year?

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) recommends that chimneys, fireplaces, vents, and solid-fuel-burning appliances be inspected at least once per year.

Annual inspections can help identify buildup, deterioration, water intrusion, animal intrusion, and other issues before they become expensive repairs.
