Chimney Sweep in Hebron, IL
In little Hebron, home of the 1952 Giants, rural homes rely on wood and pellet heat. Chimney Sweep Squad makes the trip and keeps them running safely.
Chimney Sweep Squad provides chimney sweeping, inspection, and repair throughout Hebron, IL. Hebron is a small, proud far-northwest town where many homes lean on wood-burning fireplaces, wood stoves, and pellet stoves to get through the winter. That hardworking heat needs regular, careful maintenance — and we make the trip to provide it. Call (815) 420-6665.
Real heat that needs real maintenance
In a rural town like Hebron, a wood or pellet stove isn’t decoration — it’s part of how homes stay warm. Appliances that run hard all winter build up creosote and ash and need regular cleaning, inspection, and venting checks to stay safe and efficient. We sweep and inspect wood-burning fireplaces and chimneys, service wood stoves and inserts, and clean and check pellet stoves, which have their own venting and hopper-and-ash maintenance.
Many Hebron homes are older, with masonry chimneys that have weathered decades of northern winters, so we also handle tuckpointing, crown repair, and relining when a liner has cracked. Whatever keeps your Hebron home warm, we keep it running safely.
Home of the 1952 Giants
Hebron earned a permanent place in Illinois lore when little Alden-Hebron High School — the smallest school ever to do it — won the 1952 state basketball championship. The town still celebrates it, with a water tower painted like a basketball reading “Home of the 1952 State Champions.” We’re proud to make the trip out and keep the fireplaces safe in this tight-knit town.

Frequently asked questions
Do you serve Hebron, way up near the Wisconsin line?
Yes. Hebron is within our service area — about 23 minutes from our McHenry base — and we serve it 7 days a week. We’re glad to make the trip for this small, tight-knit town.
I heat with a pellet stove in Hebron — do you service those?
Yes. Pellet stoves need regular cleaning of the hopper, burn pot, and ash, plus a venting inspection to keep them running efficiently and safely. We service pellet stoves along with wood stoves and traditional fireplaces.
My Hebron wood stove runs all winter — how often should it be cleaned?
At least once a year, and sooner with heavy use. Hard-running wood appliances build creosote and ash quickly, and both reduce efficiency and raise fire risk. A yearly cleaning and inspection keeps it safe and burning well.
My Hebron home is old — could the chimney masonry be failing?
Possibly. Decades of northern Illinois winters spall brick and open mortar joints, and clay liners crack with age. We inspect the masonry and liner and recommend tuckpointing, crown repair, or relining only where it’s genuinely needed.
Do you handle animals or blockages in rural Hebron chimneys?
Yes. Rural flues, especially uncapped ones, can collect nests, debris, and the occasional animal. Don’t light a fire to clear it — call us to remove it safely and fit a cap to keep it from happening again.
