Our Services

Chimney Video Inspection with Full Diagnostic Report

A chimney video inspection at the Platinum standard is not just a camera through the flue and a verbal summary of what the technician saw. It's a comprehensive, professionally documented assessment that produces a report genuinely worthy of the name — complete with annotated footage references, component-by-component condition assessments, prioritised recommendations with clear rationale, and the kind of structured documentation that serves you well in every future context where your chimney's service history matters. Our chimney video inspection service deploys professional-grade camera equipment through the full length of the flue, capturing high-resolution footage of the liner throughout its length, the smoke chamber above the firebox, and the termination point at the top of the chimney. This is combined with a thorough exterior inspection of the chimney stack, crown, cap, and flashing, and an interior assessment of the firebox, damper, and throat. Every component is assessed against current NFPA standards and its condition recorded with the precision that a full diagnostic report requires. The report produced from our video inspection is formatted for professional use — clearly structured, component-specific, and written to be understood by the homeowner, by any subsequent service provider, by an insurer, or by a real estate professional. We walk through the report with you directly at the end of the inspection, explaining each finding in plain language and answering any questions before we leave. The full report is delivered in digital format for your permanent records, formatted to the white-glove standard that every Platinum service reflects. Attendance within 4 to 6 hours. (630) 908-2171.

Chimney Flashing Replacement

Chimney flashing — the metal weather seal at the junction between the chimney and the roof — is both one of the most water-critical components of a chimney system and one of the most visible from the roofline. At the Platinum standard, flashing replacement is executed with premium-grade metals, precision installation that achieves a genuinely weathertight seal, and the kind of finished appearance that reflects care taken not just about function but about the overall presentation of the work. In Hoffman Estates and the Northwest Chicago suburbs, chimney flashing faces among the most demanding conditions in the country for this type of application. Sub-zero winter temperatures cause significant metal contraction. Heavy snow loads and ice damming create moisture pressure at the roof-chimney junction during the melt period. And the freeze-thaw cycling of Illinois winters tests the integrity of any sealants and the adhesion of any counter-flashing bedded into masonry joints. Premium flashing installation must account for all of these conditions in both material selection and installation methodology. Our chimney flashing replacement uses copper or lead-coated copper flashing where the application and property warrant a premium metal, and heavy-gauge aluminium where that is the appropriate specification — never lightweight aluminium or galvanised steel that will corrode within a few Illinois winters. We step and counter-flash correctly, bed counter-flashing into masonry joints to the appropriate depth and seal with a high-grade flexible sealant rated for the temperature range it will experience. The completed flashing is inspected for watertightness from every angle before we consider the installation complete. Clean, precise, weathertight, and warranted. 4 to 6 hours. (630) 908-2171.

Full Chimney Cleaning & Conditioning

A full chimney cleaning and conditioning service at the Platinum standard is a comprehensive treatment of the entire fireplace and chimney system — leaving it thoroughly cleaned, structurally assessed, and conditioned for optimal performance. It's the service for homeowners who want their fireplace system maintained to the same standard as the rest of their home — not just swept out before the season begins, but genuinely cared for with the attention that a significant home feature deserves. Our full chimney cleaning and conditioning begins with a pre-service assessment of the current condition — noting the level and type of creosote present, any structural issues visible at the firebox and smoke chamber, and the condition of the damper and all visible interior surfaces. This assessment informs the cleaning methodology selected and ensures any items requiring attention beyond cleaning are identified before work begins. Cleaning covers the full system: the firebox floor and walls, the smoke shelf and smoke chamber, the accessible flue liner, and the visible flue sections above the damper throat. We use professional rotary cleaning systems and chimney brushes sized precisely for the flue dimensions, with high-powered HEPA vacuum extraction that keeps all debris and soot contained within our equipment rather than distributing it through your home. Property protection is placed on all surfaces near the fireplace before work begins — floor protection, furniture protection, and protective covering on any surfaces that cleaning activity could affect. Conditioning follows the cleaning — the smoke chamber and firebox are assessed for any areas where a light refractory conditioning treatment would benefit surface integrity and reduce future creosote adhesion. The damper is checked for correct operation and lubricated where needed. The entire system is inspected in its cleaned state, with findings noted in a post-service summary provided to the homeowner. The complete service concludes with a thorough clean-up, a walkthrough with the homeowner, and departure leaving your home exactly as we found it — except with a fireplace ready for a full season of use. Platinum standard, from first call to final check. (630) 908-2171.
