Clean sweep chimney service — Minneapolis, MN
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
Cleaning costs depend on a few specific things regarding your fireplace setup. We look at the total height of the chimney, the number of flues, and how much creosote buildup has accumulated over time. If your chimney has been neglected for several seasons, or if there are blockages like animal nests or heavy debris, the labor required increases. The type of liner and the fireplace architecture also play a role in the complexity of the service. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Frequently asked in Minneapolis
What should I look for before calling for chimney cleaning in Minneapolis?
Before calling for professional chimney cleaning in Minneapolis, you can perform a visual inspection. Look for a black, tar-like substance called creosote lining the inside of your fireplace or visible in the flue. Check if your damper opens and closes smoothly. If you notice significant creosote buildup or a stuck damper, it's a good indicator it's time for service.

It prevents rain, snow, animals, and debris from entering the flue. This protection helps maintain the integrity of your chimney system and prevents potential blockages or damage.
