M.R. Chimney Sweep | Fireplace Services & Roofing in Burbank, IL 60459

Absolutely. In Burbank, where hail and heavy storms are common, the chimney structure on your roof is a vulnerable point. Damaged chimney flashing or cracks in the masonry can be entry points for water, leading to leaks that mimic or worsen roof damage. As part of our comprehensive service, we inspect the chimney-roof interface during any fireplace repair or cleaning to ensure it's sealed against our local weather, preventing minor storm damage from becoming a major leak.

Yes, we highly recommend it. Hail that is strong enough to damage asphalt shingles can also crack chimney crowns, damage flue liners, or dislodge chimney caps. At M.R. Chimney Sweep, we provide a combined assessment. While repairing your roof, we'll inspect the entire chimney structure for impact damage that could lead to safety hazards, water intrusion, or reduced heating efficiency, addressing all storm-related issues in one coordinated visit.

A roof leak can introduce moisture into your attic and walls, which is a serious concern for any heating system, especially gas units. Moisture can cause corrosion in vents, damage electrical components in inserts, or create drafting problems in fireplaces. Our heating system inspection and repair services include checking for water damage related to known leaks. By ensuring your fireplace or heating appliance is operating safely and efficiently, we help prevent secondary damage and maintain a dry, healthy home environment after a storm.
