Plainfield pairs one of Illinois’s best-preserved historic downtowns with some of the fastest new-home growth in Will County, and Indigo Chimney Sweep serves both. The Village of Plainfield has chimneys of every age — from century-old masonry near the Lockport Street historic district to brand-new fireplaces in subdivisions off 127th Street and Route 59. Each needs a different eye, and we bring it.
If you have caught a concert at the Richard A. Rock Amphitheater in Settlers’ Park downtown, or strolled the historic Lockport Street district that sits on the National Register of Historic Places along the DuPage River, you have seen Plainfield’s beautiful older brickwork up close. Those historic chimneys are exactly the kind that reward regular masonry care.
In Plainfield we handle the full system: chimney sweeping, Level 1 and Level 2 inspections, masonry repair, relining, caps and crowns, gas fireplace service, and dryer vent cleaning. See starting prices or our full services list.
Historic and new-build chimneys alike
In older Plainfield homes near downtown, we often find cracked clay liners and mortar that needs tuckpointing, and sometimes a full stainless-steel liner. In newer subdivisions, the issues are different: builder-grade caps that rust, prefabricated fireboxes that need cleaning, and gas inserts due for a tune-up. Whatever the age of your home, an annual inspection keeps it safe.
Serving the Plainfield community
Plainfield is served by Community Consolidated School District 202, home to Plainfield Central High School. We are proud to help local families keep their fireplaces safe, with clean work, photo documentation, and a price up front on every job.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work on historic downtown Plainfield homes?
Yes. We specialize in caring for older masonry chimneys like those near the Lockport Street historic district, from relining to careful tuckpointing.
I just built a home in Plainfield — does the chimney need service?
Yes. New fireplaces still need annual inspection and cleaning, and builder-grade caps and flashing often need attention within the first few years.
Do you serve all of Plainfield?
We cover the entire village, from historic downtown to the newer subdivisions near Route 59, 127th Street, and Wallin Drive.
How often should a Plainfield fireplace be swept?
Once a year for regular wood burners, or whenever creosote reaches about one-eighth of an inch.
Can you reline a chimney in an older Plainfield home?
Yes. Cracked clay liners are common in older Plainfield chimneys, and a stainless-steel liner restores a safe, code-compliant flue.
Do you tune up gas fireplaces in Plainfield?
Yes. We clean and safety-check gas logs and inserts, which are common in Plainfield’s newer homes.
Are you open on weekends for Plainfield appointments?
Yes, seven days a week from 7 AM to 7 PM.
