Clean sweeps make fireplaces safe
Unlike other cold weather climates – parts of Vermont, Minnesota and Wisconsin – Chicagoland homeowners don't generally burn fires to heat their homes. It's for the ambiance.
That hasn't made the area any less susceptible to a successful chimney sweep business. Just ask Michael Boudart of Cary, President of 40-year-old Lindemann Chimney Service.
"Chicago's a good market," Boudart said. "Chicago was settled a long time ago – a lot of old homes and a cold climate."
