Our Services

A chimney inspection in Owatonna, Minnesota is the first step to keeping your home safe and warm, especially when winter’s on the way. Our techs check for creosote buildup, which can ignite and cause a house fire if left unchecked. They also look for blocked flues, poor draft, and smoke that backs up into your living space, all common problems that threaten indoor air quality. The inspection includes a visual look at the crown, flashing, and any cracks or loose bricks that could let water in and weaken the structure. Pricing is clear and upfront, with no hidden fees, and we’ll schedule a convenient time that fits your calendar. The job usually takes about an hour, and you’ll walk away with a written report and recommendations for any needed cleanup or repairs. If you’re ready, call (888) 295-7280 and set up your appointment today.
