Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

Senior & Military Courtesy on All Services
Active-duty military, veterans, and seniors 65 and over receive our courtesy adjustment on any chimney cleaning, repair, cap installation, or liner work in Crystal Lake, Lake in the Hills, Cary, and Algonquin. The discount applies to labor, and you’ll still get the full Haven Standard package: written price first, photo record after, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Valid through December 31, 2026.

Pre-Burning Season Tune-Up Special
Schedule your chimney sweep and inspection before the first cold snap hits McHenry County, and we’ll prioritize your booking in our September through October calendar. We see the heaviest creosote buildup in Crystal Lake homes that waited until November, especially in neighborhoods near the lake where cooler, damp fall air slows draft and accelerates condensation in the flue. Beat the rush, get your written condition report early, and know exactly what your fireplace needs before you need it. Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (815) 923-3185.
Chimney Cap or Crown Assessment with Free Leak Inspection
Water is what destroys chimneys in our climate, not fire. If you’ve noticed staining on the ceiling near your fireplace, deteriorating mortar joints, or a rusted firebox, we’ll assess your cap and crown integrity and trace the leak path with our camera system at no charge when you book any cap, crown, or repair work. You’ll see the footage yourself, and we’ll quote a written price for the fix before any materials are ordered from Gelco, Famco, or Copperfield. Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (815) 923-3185.
365-Day Done Right Promise on Every Job
This isn’t a limited-time discount, it’s the foundation of how we work. Under Clause 1 of the Haven Standard, you get a written price, written scope, and written warranty before anyone touches your chimney. Under Clause 4, you get a documented photo record of what we found and what we did. If anything isn’t right within a full year, we make it right. No expiration, no exceptions. Mention the Haven Standard when you call (815) 923-3185.
How to Redeem

Step 1: Call (815) 923-3185 and mention the offer by name. Our phones are answered live, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, by a person who can check availability and put your name on the calendar.
Step 2: Book your visit. We’ll assign a named, background-checked technician, text you when they’re on the way, and confirm your address in Crystal Lake, Lake in the Hills, Cary, Algonquin, or surrounding McHenry County.
Step 3: Present the offer at time of service. Your technician will apply it to your written invoice, review every photo with you, and leave you with your dated documentation, warranty, and our direct line if questions come up later.
Before
AfterWhat These Offers Actually Include
Every special runs through the same process we’ve used since 2009. Your technician arrives in uniform with their license number visible. They set up protective coverings, run a camera through your flue liner to document creosote class, liner condition, and any spalling or gaps, then sweep the chimney with rotary equipment matched to your flue type. You watch the footage on a tablet if you’re home, or receive it by email with your written report. The price for any additional work, from a cracked crown to a failing liner, is written and signed before we schedule a return visit.
We don’t do “call for a quote” because Clause 1 of the Haven Standard requires the price in writing before work starts. We don’t do optional photo add-ons because Clause 4 requires the photo record as standard. And we don’t do seasonal pressure tactics because a chimney fire in January is bad for everyone, including us.
FAQ: Questions About Our Chimney Cleaning Specials

One courtesy adjustment applies per visit, but the Free Second Opinion and the 365-Day Done Right Promise apply to every job automatically. Call (815) 923-3185 and we’ll apply the best fit for your situation.
We work throughout Crystal Lake proper, including the historic district near the train station, the neighborhoods off Route 14, and the newer developments near Three Oaks Recreation Area. We also cover Lake in the Hills, Cary, Algonquin, and the broader McHenry County area. If you’re unsure, call and we’ll confirm.
We’ll tell you. We’ve photographed plenty of flue liners in good condition and advised homeowners to re-inspect in 12 months. The photo record means you have baseline documentation, and you’ll never pay for work you don’t need. That’s been our practice since 2009, and it’s why we still have the records.
We source DuraFlex stainless liners, HeatShield cerfractory resurfacing, Gelco and Famco caps, and Olympia Chimney and Copperfield components through Haven’s buying network. The difference isn’t the brand name on the box, it’s that we pass the volume pricing through to your written estimate instead of marking it up separately. You’ll see the line items.
