Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.
Chimney Company in Edina, MN
If you’re looking for a chimney company in Edina, MN, the first thing worth knowing is that inspection comes before anything else. Edina’s housing stock is a mix of post-war brick-veneer ramblers, split-levels, and two-story Colonials, many with clay tile liners that are now at or past their service life. Add long, hard freezes and freeze-thaw cycling at the crown, and those liners take a beating that warmer climates never deliver. We inspect first, then recommend only what the camera and the flue show. Call (844) 834-2087 to book a sweep or inspection. We answer 24/7.
Why Edina Homes Are Different
The 55436 corridor – Countryside, Interlachen, Mirror Lakes – is dominated by large mid-century and 1970s-80s masonry fireplaces. Many of those two-story Colonials and ramblers were built with oversized, externally-chased chimneys carrying multiple flues that serve the furnace, water heater, and fireplace together. That means a single address can have three flues in different condition, and each one needs its own look. Newer tear-down rebuilds add direct-vent and prefab units alongside the original masonry, so a property can genuinely mix both systems.
Then there’s the climate. Edina’s freeze-thaw cycling works at the masonry crown and flue tile joints, driving spalling and cracked crowns that only show themselves once the spring thaw arrives. Heavy snow and ice at the chimney top, plus persistent below-zero stretches, make fall sweeping and crown inspection a seasonal necessity here rather than an optional extra. In Mirror Lakes and Countryside, technicians routinely find original clay-tile liners cracked from decades of heating cycles and no chimney cap at all – meaning rain and snowmelt have been running down into the smoke chamber. The relining that follows is real work, and homeowners often only call after a spring ceiling stain shows up.

Our Main Edina Services
Two services cover most of what Edina homeowners call us about: a full sweep and inspection before the heating season, and masonry repair once the freeze-thaw damage is visible.
Chimney Sweep in Edina
A sweep on an Edina masonry fireplace means removing creosote from the firebox, smoke chamber, and flue, then checking the damper and cap while we’re at it. On the oversized, multi-flue chimneys common in 55436, each flue gets swept and documented separately. Fall is the busy window here because heavy snow and ice at the chimney top make access harder once winter sets in. We use professional-grade brushes and a camera to confirm the flue is clear. If you want the full detail on what a visit involves, see Chimney Sweep in Edina.
Chimney Repair in Edina
Repair in Edina usually comes down to three things: a cracked crown from freeze-thaw cycling, spalling brick at the chimney top, and clay tile joints that have opened up over decades of heating cycles. We inspect before we recommend, so you know whether it’s a crown rebuild, a liner resurfacing with HeatShield ceramic technology, or a full reline with a DuraFlex system. Most of these jobs run before the first hard freeze, when the masonry is still workable. Full scope and options are on Chimney Repair in Edina.
Chimney Inspection in Edina
Chimney Inspection in Edina is the diagnostic foundation of every job we do. Edina’s post-war and 1960s-80s housing carries clay tile liners that are frequently at or past their service life, especially in the 55436 corridor where original masonry fireplaces and exposed crowns have absorbed decades of freeze-thaw. The specific problem inspections solve here is water intrusion: a missing cap or cracked crown lets spring snowmelt run straight into the smoke chamber, and by the time a ceiling stain appears the liner damage is well underway. Our technicians have up to 12 years of experience reading exactly that pattern.
Chimney Inspection Services
Signs you need it
You need a full inspection if you’ve bought the house recently, if the chimney has no cap, or if you’re seeing a ceiling or attic stain after a spring thaw.
What it costs in Edina
A standard inspection in Edina typically runs $150 – $350, and a camera-assisted inspection with a written report typically runs $250 – $500; the written estimate sets the final price.
How we do it
We inspect the firebox, smoke chamber, damper, flue, crown, and cap in sequence, run a camera down the flue, and hand you a photo report showing what we found.
Level 2 Chimney Inspection
Signs you need it
A Level 2 inspection is what you want at a home purchase, after a chimney fire, or whenever a flue has changed use or been relined.
What it costs in Edina
Level 2 inspection in Edina typically runs $250 – $500 depending on flue count and access; on a three-flue 55436 chimney, all flues get read and documented, and the written estimate sets the final price.
How we do it
We work each flue with a video camera, check every joint and offset, inspect accessible portions of the chimney exterior, and record the findings in a written report you can keep.
What Chimney Inspection Costs in Edina
These are typical ranges for inspection work in Edina. Every job is quoted in writing before we start.
| Item | Typical range in Edina |
|---|---|
| Standard chimney inspection | $150 – $350 |
| Camera-assisted inspection with photo report | $250 – $500 |
| Level 2 inspection | $250 – $500 |
Does Edina require a chimney inspection before selling a house?
No city rule mandates it, but most buyers and insurers ask for one at closing, and a Level 2 inspection aligned with NFPA 211 standards is what they’ll reference. It takes the guesswork out of the purchase for both sides.
Can a chimney inspection find a problem the sweep didn’t?
Yes. Sweeping clears creosote; inspection reads the liner, joints, and crown. On Edina’s older clay-tile flues, a hairline crack that lets water in won’t show during a sweep but will show on camera. Call (844) 834-2087 for an exact quote – estimates are free.

What pushes price up in Edina is flue count and access. A three-flue masonry chimney on an oversized, externally-chased stack takes longer to sweep and inspect than a single-flue prefab, and crown work at height adds time. We quote upfront before any work begins, and you’ll know the number before we start.

What Edina Customers Say
"Liner was cracked in two places. He walked me through the repair options honestly, including the one that was cheaper for him and better for me."
- Jason Anderson"Creosote buildup was worse than I realized. He measured it, showed me the glazing on the flue with the camera, and was honest that we were closer to a chimney fire than I wanted to hear."
- Lisa Ackerman"Thorough sweep and a clear report. He was running late from the job before and arrived near the end of the window, though he did call to warn me."
