Level 1, 2 and 3 inspections to the NFPA 211 standard, with camera scans and a photo report you can keep.
MN License #BC788528
Level 1 and Level 2 inspections, the national standard for chimneys and venting.
We work Minnesota roofs year-round and know what freeze–thaw does to brick.
Chimney Inspection
A chimney can look fine from the yard and still have a cracked liner, a failing crown or gaps that let heat reach the wood framing of your house. An inspection finds those problems while they are still small and inexpensive to fix.
We inspect to NFPA 211, the national standard for chimneys, fireplaces and vents. You get photos of everything we see, a plain-English explanation of what is urgent and what can wait, and a written price for any repair before work starts.
You call or send the form, we confirm a day and arrival window, the crew does the work and photographs everything, and we walk you through what we found and what it costs. No surprises, and a written price before any repair.
Based in Burnsville, we serve 58 cities across the south, west and east metro, including:
Recent work
Real photos from our crew: problems we find on the roof, work in progress, and finished chimneys. Tap a photo to see it full size.
The clay tiles inside this flue had cracked and pulled apart. Heat and gases can escape through the gaps into the framing of the house, so a liner like this needs to be replaced before the next fire.
Moss holds water against the brick, and every freeze pushes the faces apart. The cap had rusted through too. We recommend cleaning, sealing and a new cap.
Several bricks under the crown had broken off, leaving open holes for water. This is fixed with brick replacement and tuckpointing.
We took the damaged top courses down to the flue tiles, then rebuilt with new brick, mortar and flashing.
On this rebuild we removed loose brick down to solid masonry and protected the clay flue liner before laying new brick.
A finished chimney with a new crown poured across the top and new caps on both flues to keep out rain, animals and debris.
Honest. Fast. Local.

Level 1 covers the parts you can see and reach. Level 2 adds a camera scan of the inside of the flue and is recommended for home sales, fuel changes or after a chimney fire. Level 3 is used when a serious hidden problem is suspected and may require removing parts of the structure to see inside.
Yes, a Level 2 inspection is the standard recommendation when a property changes hands. Problems with liners and crowns are common and can be expensive.
