This is the baseline every Champlin homeowner should book at least once a year, especially after heavy use. Our crew uses rotary brushes and vacuum systems to pull out years of buildup that can turn into a fire hazard. We’ll inspect your flue lining for cracks or corrosion while we’re in there, too, no extra charge for spotting issues early. Pricing starts at $120 for a basic sweep, but if we find something like a blocked damper or excessive creosote, we’ll explain the cost upfront before we proceed. No one in Champlin should pay for a ‘basic’ sweep that skips critical checks.
Call about this serviceIf your chimney’s got that glossy black residue (creosote) coating the walls, you’re playing with fire, literally. Champlin’s older homes, especially those near Lake Phalen, often see faster buildup because of the humidity. We use high-pressure air tools to blast away the gunk, then scrub the flue with stainless steel brushes to get it back to a safe state. This isn’t a quick job, expect 2-3 hours, but it’s the only way to avoid a chimney fire when you light up for the holidays. Pricing depends on the buildup, but we’ll never lowball you or push unnecessary add-ons.
Call about this serviceYou wouldn’t buy a used car without checking under the hood, so don’t assume your chimney’s fine just because it’s been ‘working.’ We climb up with a flashlight and mirror kit to check for cracks, rust, or animal nests, common in Champlin’s older brick homes. If your flue lining’s deteriorated, we’ll tell you straight up whether it needs relining or if you’re safe to keep using it. Inspections cost $95, but catching a small crack now saves you from a $2,000 reline job later. And yes, we’ll write up a report you can show your insurance company if needed.
Call about this serviceWood and pellet stoves trap more debris than fireplaces, and Champlin’s dry winters mean ash buildup happens fast. We’ll disassemble the stove, vacuum out the ash, and scrub the burn pot and flue pipe to prevent clogs that can back up smoke into your home. Pricing varies by stove type, but we won’t charge you for ‘extra’ parts cleaning, just what’s needed. Pro tip: If your stove’s losing efficiency or smoking more than usual, it’s time for a clean. We’ll also check your stove’s gaskets and seals while we’re at it.
Call about this serviceA loose brick, a stuck damper, or a small crack in the flue lining can turn a cozy evening into a headache. We handle minor repairs like mortar repointing, damper adjustments, and rusted cap replacements, all without the $1,000+ bill from a full rebuild. For example, if your chimney cap’s warped from ice dams (common on Champlin roofs), we’ll replace it with a stainless steel model that lasts. No job’s too small, and we’ll never recommend work you don’t need. Just tell us what’s wrong, and we’ll give you the straight facts.
Call about this serviceIf your chimney cap’s missing or rusted out, you’re letting water seep into your flue, which erodes the lining over time. Champlin’s spring rains and fall storms make this a bigger problem than most homeowners realize. We install heavy-duty stainless steel caps that keep out rain, leaves, and even squirrels (yes, they’re a nuisance). Pricing starts at $180, but it’s a fraction of the cost of repairing water damage later. We’ll also check your flashing while we’re up there, another spot where leaks start.
