Chimney Inspection in Osseo, MN

Chimney Inspection for Osseo homes

Osseo is built largely of a small historic core of early-1900s through 1950s homes inside one square mile. 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 Osseo we focus on knob-and-tube remnants, balloon framing, stone-and-brick foundation deterioration, and lead-era plumbing in the oldest houses.

Older village lots with mature trees see root intrusion into clay sewer laterals and settling near century-old foundations.

What this service includes

• Exterior masonry, crown and cap inspection
