A proper Chimney Cap & Crown in Broadview keeps rain, animals, and debris out of your flue while allowing smoke to exit freely. We fabricate and install caps in copper, stainless steel, and galvanized finishes, with custom sizing for Broadview’s varied chimney profiles.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild
Many Broadview chimneys still contain original clay flue tiles sized for coal or oil combustion, now serving gas appliances that produce cooler, wetter flue gases. We install DuraFlex stainless steel liners and Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Broadview where the original structure has deteriorated beyond safe use.

Why Broadview’s Climate & Housing Affect Chimney Cleaning
Broadview’s housing stock is almost entirely mid-century, built from the late 1940s through the 1960s, and virtually every masonry chimney in the village is original to those builds, now 60 to 80 years old. This matters for cleaning because these chimneys were not built for modern heating equipment. A large share were originally sized and lined for coal or oil furnaces that have since been converted to gas appliances, leaving oversized, unlined clay-tile flues that collect condensation and corrosive deposits far faster than properly matched systems.
On many of Broadview’s tightly packed residential blocks, both the gas furnace and the water heater vent into that same masonry flue that was never relined after conversion. An oversized, unlined condition causes chronic flue-gas condensation, accelerated tile deterioration, and real backdrafting risk. We’ve found this exact scenario repeatedly throughout the 60155 ZIP. The Chicago metro’s aggressive freeze-thaw cycle, with temperatures crossing 32°F dozens of times each winter, accelerates spalling and mortar joint deterioration in these aging brick chimneys faster than in more moderate climates. A single hard Cook County winter can open hairline crown cracks into full structural water intrusion failures. That’s why post-winter inspections are especially critical here, and why a standard sweep in Broadview often reveals conditions that require more than just brushing.

FAQs About Chimney Cleaning in Broadview
A standard chimney sweep and Level-1 inspection in Broadview runs $189 to $249, while a Level-2 camera inspection with photo documentation ranges from $289 to $349. Gas fireplace cleanings typically fall between $159 and $219. Call (888) 289-6055 for an exact quote - estimates are free.
The National Fire Protection Association recommends annual inspection for all chimneys, with cleaning frequency determined by use and fuel type. In Broadview, we find that the village’s conversion-era chimneys, many with oversized unlined flues from coal-to-gas changes, benefit from yearly inspection even with moderate use. Condensation buildup in these older systems accelerates creosote formation and tile deterioration. Call (888) 289-6055 to schedule - most Broadview appointments are available within 24 to 48 hours.
Summer chimney odors in Broadview usually trace to creosote deposits absorbing humidity through the flue, combined with negative air pressure in tightly sealed modern homes drawing those odors indoors. The village’s older chimneys, with their larger flue volumes and often-deteriorated crowns, are especially prone to moisture intrusion that activates these smells. A thorough sweep removes the source, and a proper cap installation prevents recurrence. Call (888) 289-6055 for an inspection - we’ll show you photos of what we find.
Most Broadview chimneys can be repaired rather than rebuilt if caught before advanced deterioration sets in. Repointing mortar joints, resurfacing crowns with HeatShield, and installing a DuraFlex liner typically cost a fraction of full reconstruction. However, chimneys with extensive spalling, shifted flue tiles, or compromised structural integrity may require partial or complete rebuild. We provide documented photo evidence and plain-English options so you can decide with confidence. Call (888) 289-6055 for a free assessment.
We answer calls with a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we maintain same-day availability for urgent situations including blocked flues, suspected carbon monoxide backdrafting, and post-storm damage. Broadview’s compact geography allows our technicians to reach most addresses quickly via Roosevelt Road or the Eisenhower corridor. For emergency chimney concerns, call (888) 289-6055 now - a real person will answer and dispatch help.

- Tim Kowalski"The crown was cracked and taking water. He repaired it rather than quoting a rebuild, which the previous company had pushed hard for."
- Rashad Jackson"The liner was cracked in two places. He walked me through the options honestly, including the one that was cheaper for him and better for me."
