Top hat chimney sweep — Chicago, IL

Last updated: September 24, 2026

What affects the price

Cleaning costs depend on a few specific things regarding your fireplace setup. We look at the total height of the chimney, the number of flues, and how much creosote buildup has accumulated over time. If your chimney has been neglected for several seasons, or if there are blockages like animal nests or heavy debris, the labor required increases. The type of liner and the fireplace architecture also play a role in the complexity of the service. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

This term refers to a full-service chimney cleaning visit where technicians clear debris from the firebox up through the chimney crown. A sweep ensures that the internal walls of the flue are scrubbed clean to mitigate fire risks and carbon monoxide exposure. If you notice a strong smell or debris falling into your fireplace, it is time to have a technician perform a top-to-bottom sweep of your chimney system. Exact pricing is confirmed free on the call.
