Why Professional Chimney and Fireplace Cleaning is Essential
Regular chimney and fireplace cleaning by trained technicians ensures your gas or wood-burning fireplace operates safely and efficiently. Over time, ash, soot, and creosote accumulate inside your fireplace and chimney. Our powerful cleaning tools and equipment are designed to scrub away all of this dangerous buildup.
Creosote is a byproduct of wood fires and sticks to the interior of your chimney. When allowed to build up, it creates a serious fire hazard. Creosote is highly flammable and is the leading cause of deadly chimney fires. Our chimney cleaning services help prevent chimney fires by removing all traces of creosote deposits.
Ash and soot can also accumulate along the base of the firebox, on the damper, and inside the smoke chamber. Excess debris diminishes airflow and allows smoke to backdraft into your home. Our chimney and fireplace cleaning clears out all of this residue for safety and optimal efficiency.
Our Chimney and Fireplace Cleaning Process
Our technicians use powerful brushes, rods, scrapers, and vacuums to give your fireplace a deep cleaning. The entire system is scrubbed from top to bottom.

Client Reviews
Awesome service! I had Keinan come out to give an estimate, and he was able to schedule a team next day to clean our ducts and install UV lighting. They were quick, professional, and exactly matched what I was quoted at. Thanks all!! Will definitely use again in the future.

Air Flows Chicago sent out Antoine to do our chimney cleaning. He arrived exactly when he said would, and called beforehand to give us a heads up. He was extremely professional and did a great job while keeping our home clean. Antoine was very knowledgeable and we ended up having him stay to clean our dryer duct. I would definitely recommend Air Flows!

After having a bad experience with dryer vent wizards. I called air flow Chicago, the scheduler was great and was able to give me a prompt appointment on a holiday week. Antoine and his partner were very professional and friendly. They did a great job and worked very hard. Our job wasn’t easy, our previous dryer vent system was a mess and our attic is a difficult space to work in. We are very pleased with the service we were given from the first call we made until the job was completed. They both did a great job cleaning up after as well.

We had the fire department out after we saw smoke, and they told us it was the ventilation. Thank goodness for Air Flows Chicago and Antoine! He knew right away it had to be more than that. He opened up the dryer and saw the wires all burnt out. He was knowledgeable, frank, courteous, and wore a mask and social distances the whole time. I highly recommend them for anyone who needs help like we did. Electrical fires are nothing to mess with!
