Why Your Chimney Keeps Leaking — And Why Other Companies Can’t Fix It
Most chimney leaks don’t start inside the chimney. They start where the chimney meets the roof — at the flashing.
The problem:
- Chimney companies aren’t licensed roofers.
- They patch the flashing from the chimney side and miss the roofing failure underneath
- Roofers aren’t certified chimney technicians.
- They re-flash the shingles and miss the masonry deterioration above.
The result: two separate companies, two separate bills, and a leak that keeps coming back every Minnesota winter.
At Midwest Chimney Repair, we’re the only company in Minnesota that holds both credentials:
- CSIA Certification #11692 (Chimney Safety Institute of America)
- Licensed Roofing Contractor #RR 806746
One inspection. One diagnosis. One team that fixes the whole system — chimney to roofline — permanently.
Complete Chimney Services for Minnesota Homeowners
Minnesota winters are among the harshest in the country. The freeze-thaw cycles from October through April create relentless pressure on chimney masonry, mortar, flashing, and liner systems. After 25+ years servicing chimneys across the Twin Cities and west metro, our CSIA-certified technicians have seen every failure mode Minnesota can throw at a chimney — and we know exactly how to fix them.
Chimney Inspection
Level 1 and Level 2 inspections performed by CSIA-certified technicians. We assess flue integrity, liner condition, masonry, crown, cap, flashing, and roofline connection.
Chimney Cleaning & Sweeping
Annual and semi-annual cleaning to remove creosote, debris, and blockages before they become fire hazards. We document before-and-after conditions on every visit.
Chimney Liner Installation & Repair
Cracked, deteriorated, or undersized liners are a leading cause of house fires and carbon monoxide poisoning. We install stainless steel and HeatShield® resurfacing systems.
Chimney Tuckpointing & Masonry Repair
Minnesota’s freeze-thaw cycles destroy mortar faster than anywhere in the country. We restore mortar joints before spalling turns into a full rebuild.
Chimney Flashing Repair
As licensed roofers AND chimney technicians, we diagnose and repair flashing failures that other companies can’t find. This is where most leaks actually come from.
Chimney Waterproofing
Professional-grade waterproofing treatments that seal porous masonry without trapping moisture — protecting your chimney for years.
Chimney Rebuild
Full and partial rebuilds for chimneys that have deteriorated beyond repair. We match brick, mortar color, and crown specifications to your original structure.
HeatShield® Flue Resurfacing
As certified HeatShield installers, we offer this proprietary flue resurfacing system as an alternative to full liner replacement — sealing hairline cracks and restoring structural integrity at a fraction of the cost. from.
Fireplace Installation & Repair
Gas fireplace service, wood fireplace installation, insert installation, and damper repair for complete fireplace system care.

What Sets Us Apart from Every Other Chimney Company in Minnesota
Only Dual-Licensed in Minnesota
We hold both CSIA chimney certification (#11692) AND a Minnesota licensed roofing contractor license (#RR 806746). No other chimney company in the state can say this. It means we understand the complete system — from the firebox to the ridge cap — and fix problems permanently rather than patching symptoms.
Woman Veteran-Owned and Operated
Midwest Chimney Repair was founded by a U.S. military veteran. The same discipline, accountability, and mission-focus that defines military service defines the way we run every job. We show up when we say we will, do what we say we’ll do, and stand behind every repair.
Serving Minnesota Since 1999
With over 25 years in operation, we’ve inspected and repaired chimneys in thousands of Minnesota homes. We know how Wright County clay soil settles differently than Hennepin County’s. We know which neighborhoods have the oldest brick and the worst freeze-thaw damage. Local knowledge built over decades cannot be learned from a manual.
HeatShield® Certified Installer
We’re one of only a handful of contractors in Minnesota certified to install HeatShield — the industry’s leading flue resurfacing system. This gives our customers an option between expensive full liner replacement and doing nothing at all.
