Most Jordan chimney calls trace back to the season itself: heavy wood burning laying down glazed creosote, lake-effect moisture keeping masonry damp, and thermal cycling cracking clay flue tiles from the inside. We show you what we found on camera and fix the real cause, not just the symptom.
Sweep, cleaning, repair, leak repair, cap repair and liner repair - the full chimney service list for Jordan, with the same crew and the same free estimates. Below is chimney in Jordan, MN in full — every service, the local conditions and the areas covered.
Sweep & CleaningChimney Sweep
The full professional sweep: rotary brushes scrub the flue from top to bottom while a HEPA vacuum keeps every speck of soot sealed in — the visit that keeps a chimney safe to burn in. For chimney sweep in Jordan, MN, one call books the visit and a local tech takes it from there.

Local conditions
Jordan chimneys have Jordan problems
A chimney in Jordan works from the first cold night to the last thaw, then sits damp through a humid summer. Deep freeze-thaw, lake moisture and heavy wood heat do the damage here. This is what we actually find, and what we check on every visit.
Deep freeze-thaw, every winter
Water soaks into a Jordan chimney crown, mortar joint or brick face, then freezes, expands, and pries the opening wider. Repeat that cycle all winter and brick faces spall, crowns split, and mortar crumbles to sand. We check the crown, joints and brick on every inspection and catch it early.
Heavy wood heat, real creosote
Plenty of Jordan homes burn wood as real heat for months, not decoration, and steady burning lays down creosote - the glazed kind fastest, from low, smoldering fires. That buildup can ignite inside the flue and crack liners. Regular sweeping removes it, and a camera check shows what it coated.
Mortar spalling and crumbling joints
Freeze-thaw works mortar joints loose until they recess, crack and fall out in chunks across Scott County. Open joints let more water in, which freezes and opens them further, and heat starts reaching places it should never reach. Repointing sound joints early is a repair; waiting turns it into a rebuild.
Dampers rusted, caps rusted through
Lake moisture, summer humidity and meltwater rust the metal a chimney depends on: dampers seize or warp, caps rust through, and flashing loosens as mortar around it fails. A rusted-through cap is an open hole over the flue. We inspect the metal parts most sweeps skip, on every visit.

Dirty chimney? Clean answer.
Same-day service, free estimates, licensed & insured — and a flue you can see on camera, clean from top to bottom.
At least once a year if you burn regularly, and sooner if wood is real heat in your home - roughly every cord burned is a good guide. A long Midwest heating season lays down serious creosote, and the glazed kind is a flue-fire risk. The sweep also checks the liner, cap and damper.
How do I know if my clay flue tiles are cracked?+
From the room, usually you cannot - cracked tiles sit inside the flue, above the firebox. Signs can include a smoke smell in upstairs rooms, bits of tile in the firebox, or a fireplace that drafts worse after years of good service. A camera inspection shows the tile condition directly and gives you a report in plain language.
Is crumbling or spalling mortar serious, or just cosmetic?+
It is serious, because open joints are how water gets in and heat gets out. Spalled brick and recessed mortar let freeze-thaw work deeper every winter, and gaps near the flue let hot gases reach the masonry and framing. Small joint repairs are straightforward when caught early, before the damage reaches the liner.
Snow has buried my chimney cap - can I still burn?+
Be careful, and leave the fireplace off until the top is checked if the cap is buried or the fire burns oddly after a big snow. A blocked cap means the flue cannot vent properly, and exhaust can spill into the room. Once the cap and vent are cleared and checked, the fireplace can go back into service.
There is scratching in my chimney - what should I do?+
Do not light a fire. Raccoons, birds and squirrels nest in open flues across Minnesota in spring and summer, and a nest blocks the draft and holds moisture against the liner. Lighting under a blockage pushes smoke and carbon monoxide into the room. We remove the blockage, check for damage, and fit a screened cap.
Do you give prices over the phone?+
No — and be wary of anyone who does. Every chimney fails differently, so a phone price is a guess that changes at your door. Our estimates are free: a tech looks at the actual problem, then gives you one clear price before any work starts.
