Eagan’s damp autumn air means moisture lingers in chimneys longer than in drier climates. Our standard sweep clears out sticky creosote buildup before it hardens into a fire hazard, and we check for cracks or blockages that could let cold air into your home. We use brushes and vacuums designed for your chimney type, whether it’s masonry, metal, or a modern insert, and leave no residue behind. This isn’t just a sweep; it’s a safety check. Schedule yours before Thanksgiving weekend to avoid the holiday rush, and your fireplace will be the coziest spot in the house when the first snow flies.
Call about this serviceIf your chimney has seen years of use without regular sweeps, creosote can turn into a glossy, flammable tar that’s nearly impossible to remove without professional tools. We use high-pressure air systems and specialized chemicals to dissolve and extract it without damaging your flue lining. This service is critical for older homes in Eagan’s mature neighborhoods, where fireplaces have been in use for decades. A deep clean also reveals hidden issues like rusted dampers or deteriorating mortar. We’ll point these out so you can address them before they become costly repairs. Don’t wait until you see that shiny black goo, book this when you notice soot blowing back into your room.
Call about this serviceEagan’s freeze-thaw cycles take a toll on chimneys, especially older brick ones. Our inspections go beyond just the flue, we check for cracked liners, loose mortar joints, and water damage that could lead to leaks or structural weakness. We also check for proper airflow and carbon monoxide hazards. This isn’t the same as a quick sweep; it’s a full diagnostic. If we find issues like a failing cap or deteriorated chase cover, we’ll explain your options clearly, including whether repairs are urgent or can wait until spring. Think of it as a ‘chimney physical’, better to catch problems now than after a chimney fire or water damage ruins your holiday.

Our relighting service includes a final check of your damper, gaskets, and firebox to ensure a clean, hot burn. We’ll adjust the air intake for your specific stove or insert type, so you get the efficiency you paid for. This is especially useful after a deep clean or if you’ve had your fireplace sitting unused for months. We’ll even show you how to maintain the right airflow between sweeps. No more coughing through a smoky fire, just the crackling warmth you expect.
Call about this serviceEagan’s wooded areas mean wildlife often sees chimneys as easy access to dry, warm spots. A nest isn’t just a mess, it can block airflow, trap moisture, and even introduce pests like rodents or insects into your home. We remove nests safely, then inspect for damage to your flue or liner. If we find gaps where animals entered, we’ll recommend caps or screens to keep them out. This service is often paired with a sweep, since nests trap soot and debris. Don’t wait until you hear scratching in the walls, schedule this if you’ve spotted feathers, droppings, or chewed wood around your chimney.
