Chimney Inspection for Crystal homes
Crystal is built largely of compact 1950s ramblers and Cape Cods on small lots, very consistent post-war stock. We examine the chimney structure, crown, flashing and accessible flue for the cracking, spalling and liner deterioration that Minnesota freeze-thaw cycles cause, and flag anything needing a certified sweep. In Crystal we focus on original 60-amp panels, galvanized plumbing, single-pane windows, and undersized 1950s electrical for modern loads.
Level inner-ring soils with shallow basements; chronic minor seepage and old clay tile drains are routine findings.
What this service includes
- Exterior masonry, crown and cap inspection
- Flue liner and damper condition (visual)
- Firebox and hearth clearance checks
- Flashing and water-intrusion review
- Referral for Level 2 scan if hazards are found
