A big town with a wide range of chimneys
Mundelein’s size means variety. Around Diamond Lake and the older parts of the village, you’ll find established homes with wood-burning fireplaces and aging masonry that need regular sweeps, inspections, and sometimes tuckpointing or relining. In the large newer subdivisions, gas fireplaces are common and need a yearly cleaning and venting safety check. We cover the whole range, and we tell you honestly what your particular chimney needs.
Homes near Diamond Lake and other low, wet spots get extra attention to their crowns, caps, and flashing, since moisture is the main driver of masonry damage.
A community with deep roots
Mundelein takes its name from Cardinal George Mundelein, whose seminary — the University of Saint Mary of the Lake — sits on hundreds of acres in town. Diamond Lake, a 153-acre glacial lake, anchors the south side, and the Fort Hill Heritage Museum preserves local history. Mundelein High School serves the community. We’re glad to keep the fireplaces warm in the neighborhoods around them. More at the Village of Mundelein.

Frequently asked questions
Do you serve all of Mundelein?
Yes. Mundelein is a large town and we cover all of it, from the established homes around Diamond Lake to the big newer subdivisions, matching the service to whether you have an older masonry chimney or a modern gas fireplace.
My Mundelein home is near Diamond Lake — does the water affect my chimney?
It can. Homes near the lake and in low spots take on more moisture, which stresses the masonry and causes spalling. We focus on the crown, cap, and flashing on these homes to keep water out before it does damage.
I have a gas fireplace in a newer Mundelein subdivision — do I need yearly service?
Yes. Newer gas fireplaces still need an annual cleaning and venting check because blocked or corroded venting can leak carbon monoxide. It’s a short, worthwhile visit that keeps the unit safe and reliable.
How do I know if my older Mundelein chimney needs relining?
If it’s a few decades old with a clay tile liner, or you’ve had a chimney fire, a Level 2 camera inspection shows the liner’s true condition. We recommend relining with stainless steel only when the liner is genuinely cracked or missing.

Mundelein is about 29 minutes from our McHenry base, so we schedule promptly, 7 days a week from 7am to 9pm. For a live fire, CO alarm, or gas smell, call 911 or your gas utility first.
