Lakemoor, IL · Chimney Service
Chimney Sweep in Lakemoor, IL
Lakemoor pairs Lily Lake cottages with fast-growing new subdivisions. Chimney Sweep Squad keeps both kinds of chimneys clean, safe, and efficient.
Chimney Sweep Squad provides chimney sweeping, inspection, and repair throughout Lakemoor, IL. Straddling the McHenry and Lake county line around Lily Lake, Lakemoor has grown from a small lake community into a village of new subdivisions — so we see both older lakeside homes and modern gas fireplaces. We handle both, 7 days a week. Call (815) 420-6665.
Lily Lake cottages and new subdivisions
Lakemoor started as a lake community around Lily Lake and has grown rapidly with new subdivisions along Route 120. That growth gives us two kinds of chimney work. Around the lake, older cottages and homes with wood-burning fireplaces need regular sweeps and masonry inspection, with extra attention to crowns, caps, and flashing because of waterfront moisture. In the newer subdivisions, gas fireplaces need a yearly cleaning and venting safety check, and dryer vents in newer homes benefit from cleaning.
Whatever your Lakemoor home has, we match the service to it and give you an honest assessment and upfront pricing.
A growing lakeside village
Lakemoor’s blend of Lily Lake waterfront and new residential growth makes it one of the more quickly changing communities we serve, and it’s close to our McHenry base. We’re glad to keep the fireplaces and vents safe for both longtime and brand-new residents. More at the Village of Lakemoor.

Frequently asked questions
Do you serve both the lake homes and new subdivisions in Lakemoor?
Yes. We work on the older cottages and homes around Lily Lake, which need sweeps and masonry care, and in the newer subdivisions, where gas fireplaces and dryer vents need yearly attention.
Does being near Lily Lake affect my Lakemoor chimney?
It can. Waterfront and low-lying homes take on more moisture, which drives masonry damage. We focus on the crown, cap, and flashing on lakeside homes, and waterproof when it helps.
My Lakemoor home is new construction — what does it need?
A new gas fireplace needs a yearly cleaning and venting check, and a new dryer vent is worth cleaning since builder-grade runs collect lint. We’ll tell you honestly what your home actually needs.
How often should I sweep an older Lakemoor fireplace?
If you burn wood regularly, once a year is a sensible baseline, and sooner if you notice odor, smoke, or weak draft. Regular use builds creosote, the main fuel for chimney fires.
How far is Lakemoor from your base?
Lakemoor is about 8 minutes from our McHenry base, so we’re close by and schedule promptly, 7 days a week. For a live fire, CO alarm, or gas smell, call 911 or your gas utility first.
