Most chimney sweeps in the area treat your fireplace like a chore. We treat it like a fire hazard. In Waconia, where old homes and modern fireplaces mix, we’ve seen firsthand how a single overlooked inspection can turn a cozy evening into a disaster. Our team doesn’t just clean, we educate. We’ll show you exactly what we found, explain the risks, and give you a clear plan to keep your family safe. And because we’re licensed and insured, you’re not just hiring a sweeper, you’re getting a partner who’s legally and financially responsible for the work we do.
Carbon monoxide is the silent killer, and Waconia’s older homes are especially vulnerable. We don’t just sweep chimneys, we test for leaks with portable monitors and inspect for cracks, rust, or blockages that could let deadly gas into your home. If we find a problem, we fix it immediately, not after the fact. Other sweeps might tell you your chimney is fine, but we’ll give you the hard truth: ‘This needs attention now.’ That’s why families in Waconia call us when they need real safety, not just a quick clean.
Waconia’s freeze-thaw cycles wreck chimneys fast. We don’t use cheap mortar or patchwork, we rebuild sections with high-temperature materials that stand up to Minnesota winters. Our repairs blend with your chimney’s original look, so you don’t have to live with a patch job. And because we’re not just masons, we’re chimney experts, so we know exactly where to focus. Skip the repair, and you’re risking water damage, structural failure, or even a fire. We’d rather fix it right the first time than come back for an emergency call.

Danny and Morgan Chimney LLC isn’t just another chimney sweep in Waconia. We’re the team you call when safety isn’t optional, it’s non-negotiable. Every year, carbon monoxide leaks and chimney fires send families to the ER, and most could’ve been stopped with a simple sweep. We don’t just clean chimneys; we cut off risks before they start. Our crew trains on the latest fire-safety protocols, and we carry the tools to spot hidden dangers, like cracked flues or blocked vents, that other sweeps miss. In Waconia’s cold winters, your fireplace isn’t just for warmth; it’s a fire hazard waiting to happen if it’s not maintained right. We treat every chimney like it’s our own, because one mistake in yours could mean tragedy.
"We’ve had our chimney swept before, but no one ever explained the risks like Danny and Morgan did. They found creosote buildup we’d never noticed and showed us exactly how it could’ve caused a fire. After their inspection, we installed a new stove pipe and had them reline the chimney. Now we sleep better knowing our fireplace is safe, and we’ll never skip the annual sweep again."
"Our wood stove chimney had a crack we couldn’t see from the outside. Danny found it during his inspection and warned us it was letting carbon monoxide into the cabin. We had him repair it the same day, and now we’re not worried about waking up sick in the middle of the night. He’s the only chimney guy who actually cares if you’re safe, not just if you pay."
"We’d been burning wood for years without ever getting a proper inspection. When we called Danny, he found a nest of squirrels in our chimney and a flue that was rusted through. He removed the animals safely, cleaned out the mess, and installed a new liner. Now we burn wood without worrying about a chimney fire. He even checked our carbon monoxide levels, something we’d never thought to do."
"Our fireplace was fine last winter, but this year, we noticed soot coming out when we lit a fire. We called Danny, and he found creosote buildup we’d never seen before. He cleaned it out thoroughly and explained how to burn wood properly to prevent it from happening again. Now we know exactly what to look for, and we’ll call him every year before winter. Worth every penny for peace of mind."
"I’d heard stories about chimney fires in Waconia, and I didn’t want to be another statistic. Danny came out, inspected our chimney, and found a small crack we’d missed. He sealed it and warned us to watch for drafts. A few months later, he checked again and said we were good to go. I’ve recommended him to everyone in our neighborhood, especially since he’s the only one who actually explains the risks, not just charges you for a sweep."
"Our chimney had water damage from last winter’s ice storms, and we were worried about mold or a collapse. Danny repaired the cracks, sealed the flue, and even checked for carbon monoxide leaks. He didn’t just fix the problem, he made sure it wouldn’t happen again. Now we can use our fireplace without stressing. And he was honest about the cost upfront, which is more than we can say for other ‘chimney experts’ in the area."
Expert local advice for Waconia homeowners.
We start with a no-pressure inspection of your chimney and fireplace. No hidden fees, no upselling, just a clear look at what needs work. In Waconia, where homes vary from old farmhouses to modern builds, we’ll check for creosote, cracks, and draft issues right away. If you’re unsure about scheduling, we’ll explain why now is the best time to act, especially before winter sets in. Most homeowners see results, and savings, immediately.
We use rotary brushes, vacuum systems, and chimney cameras to remove every trace of creosote and soot. Unlike DIY sweeps, we don’t just scrape the top, we clean the entire flue, including hard-to-reach spots where buildup hides. In Waconia’s dry climate, creosote can harden into a flammable tar, so we take our time to get it all out. After cleaning, we’ll show you what we found and why it matters for your safety.
Every chimney we service gets a full safety check for cracks, rust, or blockages. If we find issues, like a damaged liner or a leak, we’ll recommend repairs before they become emergencies. In Waconia, where older homes are common, we’ve seen too many cases where small problems turned into costly disasters. We’ll explain the risks and options, so you can decide what’s best for your home without pressure.
We don’t just leave after the job. You’ll get a detailed report of what we did, what we found, and any steps you should take next. If we spot potential problems (like a chimney that needs relining), we’ll tell you upfront, no surprises. And because we’re local, we’re easy to reach if you have questions later. In Waconia, where trust matters, we want you to feel confident your chimney is safe, not just ‘cleaned.’

If your chimney’s over 20 years old, it’s not safe to assume it’s fine. Brick chimneys crack over time, especially in Waconia’s freeze-thaw cycles, and those cracks let carbon monoxide seep into your home. We’ll inspect the mortar joints, check for spalling bricks, and test for gas leaks during every sweep. If we find damage, we’ll recommend repairs before you light a fire. Skipping this step is how families end up in the hospital. Better to fix it now than after a chimney fire ruins your holiday.
Carbon monoxide leaks silently when your chimney isn’t drawing properly. If the flue is blocked, cracked, or too cool (like in a new chimney), the gas backs up into your home. You won’t smell it, taste it, or even feel sick at first, it’s odorless and colorless. By the time symptoms hit (headaches, nausea, dizziness), it’s often too late. We carry handheld CO detectors and check for draft issues during every inspection. In Waconia’s tight older homes, this is the #1 hidden danger. Don’t wait for a ‘symptom’, get your chimney tested before fire season.
No, excessive smoke isn’t normal, even with Minnesota’s damp air. If your chimney’s drawing poorly, it’s usually because of creosote buildup, a blocked flue, or a damper that doesn’t seal. We’ll clean out the creosote, check for obstructions, and adjust the damper to ensure proper airflow. Ignoring this means unburned particles coat your chimney walls, increasing fire risk. Waconia’s humidity makes wood burn slower, so creosote builds faster, don’t let it turn into a tinderbox. A proper sweep fixes this in one visit.
Yes, even if it was swept. A sweep cleans the flue, but an inspection checks for structural issues like cracks, rust, or animal nests that could fail. Last winter, we found a squirrel’s nest in a Waconia home’s chimney that had gone undetected for months. By the time the homeowner noticed the smell, the nest was packed with dry leaves, one spark and the whole chimney could’ve ignited. We inspect the liner, joints, and cap every time. Skipping this step is like driving without brakes, you might not need them today, but you’ll wish you had them when you do.
Creosote is like tar in your chimney, and it’s highly flammable. If it builds up enough, it can ignite on its own, even from a small ember. We’ve pulled chimneys in Waconia where the creosote was so thick it looked like black syrup coating the walls. One wrong burn (like burning wet wood) can turn that into a chimney fire in minutes. The good news? A professional sweep removes it completely. The bad news? If you skip sweeps, it’ll keep growing. Don’t gamble with your home’s safety, creosote doesn’t announce itself until it’s too late.
Absolutely. Landlords often skip chimney maintenance to save money, but that puts you at risk. We’ve seen rentals with chimneys so clogged they couldn’t draw at all, forcing tenants to use space heaters, which are a fire hazard in themselves. Before you sign a lease, ask the landlord for proof of the last sweep. If they can’t provide it, insist on one before moving in. It’s not just about comfort; it’s about not waking up to a house full of smoke. And if the landlord refuses? Walk away. Your safety isn’t negotiable.
Metal chimneys fail differently than brick, and they’re just as dangerous if neglected. Rust in the seams, condensation buildup, or a loose cap can let carbon monoxide in or create a fire hazard. Waconia’s winters make this worse, freezing temps cause metal to contract, and if it’s not sealed right, gaps form. We check for corrosion, test the joints, and ensure the chimney’s properly insulated. A metal chimney can last decades if maintained, but one missed inspection could turn it into a death trap. Don’t assume ‘metal means modern’, it means different risks.
Yes, even if you’re not a daily user. Chimneys don’t know you’re ‘saving’ them by not using them. Moisture from humidity, animal nests, and creosote from past fires all build up over time. Last summer, we found a chimney in a Waconia vacation home that hadn’t been used in years, but it was packed with bird’s nests and rusted shut. One spark from a neighbor’s bonfire could’ve turned that into a disaster. Annual sweeps aren’t optional; they’re insurance. Better to spend $150 now than $15,000 on repairs, or worse, a funeral.
