Adrian Chimney Sweep

About Adrian Chimney Sweep

Adrian Chimney Sweep works alone in Chicago, with four years in business, and is listed for fireplace repair. Hours on the listing are 7:00 am to 7:00 pm Monday through Friday and on Sunday; Saturday shows none.

Despite the sweep in its name, the listing goes further than cleaning. It names fireplace repair, chimney repair, gas line repair, chimney cleaning and fireplace cleaning, across wood, vented gas, vent-free gas, electric and ethanol units. Fireplace materials run from brick and stone to metal, wood and plaster, and buildings from one story up to high-rises.

Chicago's brick two-flats, bungalows and greystones carry a lot of masonry chimneys, many of them close to a century old. Lake-effect winters soak the brick, then freeze it, and over the years that loosens mortar near the top of the stack and cracks the concrete crown. Many older flues were lined with clay tile, which can crack and leave gaps where heat and gases escape toward wood framing. A chimney that once vented a boiler or water heater may also need attention if that appliance was replaced with a newer model that vents differently.

Fall is the busy season, so booking a sweep or inspection before the first cold week helps. When you get in touch with Adrian Chimney Sweep, mention the building type, how many stories it has, the fireplace fuel and when the chimney was last cleaned. Ask whether a camera inspection of the flue is included.
