Family-run since 2020
Certified technicians, protected floors with every bit of ash captured, and appointments within the week — from a family operation, not a chain.
The same team handles it all — the person who sweeps your flue is the same one who documents your report.
We brush the full length of the flue and vacuum all soot out so your fireplace drafts properly and burns without risk.
Includes — Complete flue brushing, smoke chamber, firebox, damper inspection, photo report.
Full cleaning and a safety review for wood and pellet stoves, covering the stovepipe through the door gasket.
Includes — Stovepipe cleaning, baffle inspection, gasket and door seal.
Lint accumulation reduces drying performance and creates a real fire risk, so we clear the entire path from dryer to outside wall.
Includes — End-to-end brushing, airflow verification, exterior flap inspection.
A thorough, recorded review of the flue, crown, liner, and firebox, with plain notes on everything that warrants attention.
Includes — Camera inspection of the liner, written report, photographs.
We fill deteriorated mortar joints, restore cracked crowns, and seal the brickwork before moisture penetrates further.
Includes — Tuckpointing, crown restoration, flashing inspection, water sealing.
A properly sized stainless cap blocks rain, wildlife, and debris from entering the flue and prevents downdraft problems.
Includes — Sizing, stainless cap, spark screen, secure fastening.

How it works
Call (872) 366-9727 or tap the booking button to choose a morning or afternoon slot.
Your technician spreads drop cloths from the entrance to the hearth and seals off the fireplace opening before any work begins.
Before we pack up, you get a written report with photographs of the flue and anything that deserves monitoring.
Dear neighbor,
My grandfather began sweeping chimneys in Chicago with a truck, a set of rods, and a commitment to leave every hearth in better shape than he found it. That is still how we work.
When you call, you talk to our family, not an answering service, and the technician who arrives is someone we trained ourselves. Our name rides on every job.

Owner, Manley & Sons Chimney Care
“The technician went over every photo in the report and told me clearly which items could wait until spring.”
“Squirrels had been living in our chimney for over a year. The cap was installed the same week I reached out.”
“They draped protective covers from the front entrance to the hearth. You would never guess the chimney had just been swept.”
Proudly serving Chicago, IL and nearby communities, including: If your town is not on the list, call (872) 366-9727 — we may still cover your area.

We run a camera through the flue liner, examine the crown, cap, flashing, damper, and firebox, and hand you a written report with photos.
Once a year for most households that burn wood on a regular basis. If you go through more than a cord per season or notice dark flakes in the firebox, schedule a sweep sooner.
Yes — wood and pellet stoves receive a complete cleaning and safety review, from the stovepipe down to the baffle and door gasket.
Late summer or early fall is ideal. Our calendar fills fast after the first cold snap, so booking by September keeps you ahead.
A typical sweep runs about an hour. Adding an inspection with a camera scan tacks on another 30 to 45 minutes.
