Chimney sweeping has kept homes safe for centuries. It began as a vital trade during the Industrial Revolution, when coal-fueled fireplaces filled homes with soot. Without regular cleaning, chimneys posed serious fire risks. At Caponi Chimney, we honor this history by continuing to protect homes through expert care.

In the past, chimney sweeps faced hard conditions. During the 17th and 18th centuries, young boys were sent into chimneys because of their small size. These boys worked in harsh, unsafe environments. Thankfully, times have changed. Today, we rely on modern tools to ensure every chimney is cleaned safely and effectively.

Caponi Chimney started in Kenosha, Wisconsin, with a mission to uphold this tradition. We combine time-tested techniques with modern technology to meet today’s standards. Our team understands that proper chimney care is about more than safety—it’s about keeping a home running smoothly.

For years, chimney sweeps have been seen as symbols of luck. While the tools have changed, the purpose remains the same: to protect homes and families. At Caponi Chimney, we are proud to be part of this long history. Every sweep we perform connects the past to the present.
