Jake And Son Chimney Sweep serves Lee's Summit, Missouri from our base in Independence. Lee's Summit is directly south of Independence, reached down Route 291, the same road our base is on.
Chimney sweep in Lee’s Summit
Chimney sweep service in Lee’s Summit covers two kinds of home. Around the historic downtown we sweep traditional brick chimneys with clay liners. In Lakewood, Raintree Lake and the newer subdivisions, most fireplaces are gas or factory-built, and the visit is a clean and safety check of the burner, logs, glass and vent.
More on what a visit includes: chimney sweep and cleaning and fireplace cleaning and service.
Chimney inspection and repair in Lee’s Summit
With more than a third of Lee’s Summit homes built since 2000, a chimney inspection here is often the first one the fireplace has ever had. For buyers, a Level 2 chimney inspection during the inspection period shows whether the builder-installed unit was vented correctly. Chimney repair on newer homes is usually caps, chase covers and flashing.
See chimney inspection for the three inspection levels and chimney repair for common problems and fixes.

Call (816) 239-8989Air duct cleaning in Lee’s Summit
For air duct cleaning in Lee’s Summit, the common trigger is construction dust. New and recently finished homes pull drywall dust into the ducts, and finished basements add more. If your registers puff dust when the system starts, the ducts are worth checking.
Our air duct cleaning page explains when duct cleaning is worth doing and when it is not.
Dryer vent cleaning in Lee’s Summit
Dryer vent cleaning in Lee’s Summit is our most-requested service after chimney work. Newer two-story homes often vent the dryer up through the attic and out the roof, and a roof vent clogs faster and is harder to check than a wall vent. We clean the full run and the roof cap.
Read the warning signs of a clogged vent on our dryer vent cleaning page.
What we see in Lee’s Summit homes
Lee’s Summit is the largest city we serve after Kansas City, with more than 100,000 people. It ranges from the older streets around the historic downtown to lake neighborhoods such as Lakewood, Raintree Lake and the area near Longview Lake, and large subdivisions built since 2000.
The median home here was built in 1994 and more than a third of all housing has gone up since 2000. Newer homes usually mean gas fireplaces with direct vents, and long dryer vent runs from interior laundry rooms up through the roof. In our view, dryer vent cleaning and gas fireplace service matter as much here as traditional sweeping, while the older downtown blocks still have masonry chimneys that need the classic yearly inspection.
Housing figures are from the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey, 2020–2024 5-year estimates, via Census Reporter. What they mean for chimneys and vents is our own view, based on Jake’s 32 years of work in the area. Lee’s Summit is in Jackson County, with a part in Cass County.

Questions from Lee's Summit homeowners
How often should a dryer vent be cleaned in a two-story Lee's Summit home?
Every year. Two-story homes in Lee's Summit often vent the dryer through the attic to the roof, and that long vertical run collects lint faster than a short wall vent. If the dryer takes more than one cycle or the laundry room feels hot, have the vent cleaned sooner than the yearly schedule.
Do newer homes in Lee's Summit still need chimney service?
Yes. About 36% of Lee's Summit homes were built since 2000, and most have gas fireplaces. Gas units still need a yearly check of the burner, logs and vent, and the vent can be blocked by nests like any flue. Wood-burning fireplaces in the older homes near downtown need the usual yearly inspection and sweeping when deposits are found.
Which parts of Lee's Summit do you cover?
All of it, including downtown Lee's Summit, Lakewood, Raintree Lake, the Longview Lake area and the newer subdivisions on the south and east sides. Tell us the neighborhood when you call. It helps us know the likely age and type of fireplace before we arrive.
Is there a chimney sweep near Lakewood and Raintree Lake?
Yes. Jake And Son Chimney Sweep serves all of Lee's Summit, including Lakewood, Raintree Lake and the Longview Lake area. We come down Route 291 from Independence. We sweep and service wood and gas fireplaces, inspect chimneys, and clean dryer vents and air ducts in those neighborhoods.
Should I get a chimney inspection when buying a house in Lee's Summit?
Yes. NFPA 211 calls for a Level 2 chimney inspection when a property changes hands. In Lee's Summit that often means checking a builder-installed gas or factory-built fireplace that has never been inspected since the house was new. Book it during your inspection period so any repair can be part of the negotiation, not a surprise after closing.
