Wood Burning - this type of fireplace is where you burn real wood or Duraflame logs and can have a gas log lighter to pre-heat the fireplace and start the wood. Gas Logs - this type of fireplace is where you have different types of vented and non-vented logs that are run on gas. DirectVent - this type of fireplace is a self-contained unit that has a single pane of glass over the front and is usually controlled by a switch on the wall or a remote.

I was extremely impressed with the knowledge and professionalism of these off-duty firefighters. They were polite and took the time to explain answers to all of my questions. Minor repairs were included in the cleaning cost, and they didn't try to up-sell me on any other products or services. I look forward to using them again for future inspections and cleanings.
When most people think of chimneys, they think of fireplaces. For thousands of years, humans have gathered around the open fire for a sense of safety and community, and the fireplace is still the focus of family living in many homes, especially around the holidays. Fireplaces come in two general types: masonry fireplaces and factory built (prefab) fireplaces.
When was the last time you had your dryer vent cleaned? Lint and debris can build up in your clothes dryer duct causing your dryer to work overtime, creating potentially hazardous conditions including dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in your home or even a fire. The following tips from the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) can help you keep your dryer venting efficiently while keeping your family safe.
Is it a good idea to remove ashes from the fireplace or wood stove every time you build a fire? People who burn wood know that the consistent by-product of having a wood fire is ash. While the volume is going to be determined by the actual species of wood; softwoods weigh less and will have the potential to generate more ash.

They inspected my gas fireplace and set the logs up so that it looks great and operates flawless. They are off duty firefighters. Showed me the best way to light the fire and discussed upgrade options. Also looked at my smoke alarms and fire extinguisher. Very good price for peace of mind knowing the fireplace is safe. Highly recommend.

This company is a breath of fresh air! We hired them to clean our chimney and they couldn’t have been nicer explaining to us that we didn’t really need one and instead giving us a detailed tutorial. They could have easily not said anything and just performed the task we hired them to come to do (for triple the charge). I wish every company was as honest and helpful

Chimney Sweeps inspected the chimney and provided a report stating an unsatisfactory concrete condition and cracks around crown.
At same time contradicting to finding their technician called out not a safety issue and no fixes needed.
I had to get another chimney company, their finding was the same, the cracks needed fixing, water seeps through the cracks and damaged the bricks, recommended I get a masonary work done.
Thanks but no thanks, shortcoming by Naperville Chimney Sweeps made me think it is a non issue, matter of fact it was an issue that needed attention and not safe.
