Indigo Chimney Sweep is a locally operated chimney and venting company based on Essington Road in Joliet, Illinois. We keep fireplaces, wood stoves, and gas appliances running safely for families across Will County — and we do it the way we would want it done in our own homes: carefully, honestly, and with the mess kept off your carpet. As a fully bonded and insured company, we stand behind every job.
Meet Jamie Reed
Our day-to-day work is led by Jamie Reed, who has spent 17 years in the chimney trade and has served as our team and operations manager since 2018. Over those years Jamie has swept, inspected, relined, and rebuilt chimneys of every age and style found in the Joliet area, from century-old masonry flues to modern gas inserts. That experience is recognized in the industry — Jamie is an award-winning chimney professional — but what customers notice most is the plain-language approach: you always get a clear explanation of what your chimney needs and why, with photos to back it up.
Jamie personally trains every technician on our crew to current National Fire Protection Association (NFPA 211) standards and Chimney Safety Institute of America best practices, so the quality of work is the same no matter who shows up at your door.
How we work
- Up-front pricing. You get a clear price before any work begins — no charges added after the fact. See our pricing page.
- Clean job sites. Drop cloths and HEPA vacuums come out every time, so soot stays in our equipment, not your living room.
- Photo documentation. We show you what we find inside the chimney so you can make decisions with real information.
- Bonded and insured. We carry full bonding and insurance, so your home and your peace of mind are protected on every job.
- No pressure. We tell you what is urgent, what can wait, and what does not need doing at all.
