"Our chimney’s been in the same house since 1928, and Ryder’s crew handled it like it was brand new. They found a crack in the liner we’d never noticed and fixed it before it became a bigger problem. No upsell, no hassle, just good work. We’ll call them again next winter."
"I’ve had chimney sweeps come and go, but these guys actually explained what they were doing. They cleaned out years of creosote without making a mess, and when they found a loose brick, they repaired it on the spot. That’s the kind of service you don’t find everywhere in Roseville."
"After a chimney fire last winter, I was nervous about using the fireplace again. Ryder’s team inspected it thoroughly, cleaned out all the damage, and reinforced the liner. Now it’s safer than before. They even sealed the crown so water can’t get in, something I’d never thought to ask for."
"Our old brick chimney was falling apart, and we were dreading the cost of repairs. Ryder gave us a fair estimate and did the work in one day. The masonry looks better than new, and the chimney’s watertight. We’ve already had two neighbors ask for their recommendation."
"I called because my chimney wasn’t drawing right, and Ryder’s crew found a blockage in the liner from years of neglect. They cleared it out and adjusted the damper so now it works perfectly. No runaround, no hidden fees, just a job well done. That’s why we’ll use them again."
"We’ve lived in Roseville for 30 years, and this is the first chimney company that actually cared about the old brickwork. They didn’t just sweep, they cleaned the soot stains off the bricks and repointed the mortar that was crumbling. Our chimney looks as good as the day the house was built. Highly recommend."

No, that’s not normal, and it’s a sign your chimney needs attention fast. Smoldering instead of a clean flame usually means creosote buildup or poor draft. In Roseville’s dry winters, creosote can turn into a hard, tar-like layer that’s a fire hazard. We’ll clean it out, check your damper, and make sure your chimney’s drawing air right. Ignoring it could mean a chimney fire, and those spread fast in older brick homes.
That smell means smoke isn’t venting properly, often because of creosote buildup or a blocked flue. In older homes, the chimney might also have cracks letting smoke seep into your attic or walls. We’ll inspect the liner, check for gaps in the masonry, and clean out any gunk clogging the flue. A chimney that smells like smoke when it’s not in use is a red flag, don’t wait until it’s worse.
That’s not just wear, that’s a sign your chimney crown is failing. In Roseville, where freeze-thaw cycles take a toll on brickwork, a damaged crown lets water seep in, rotting the wood framing inside. We’ll repair or rebuild the crown with mortar that holds up to Minnesota winters. Ignoring it can lead to structural damage, and fixing it later costs a lot more.
If your chimney’s got a liner that’s cracked, rusted, or missing in spots, relining isn’t optional, it’s essential. Older homes often have no liner or one that’s deteriorated over decades. A new liner protects your home from heat damage, carbon monoxide leaks, and chimney fires. We use stainless steel liners that last, and in Roseville’s climate, that’s the smart move.
Almost always. Poor draft in Roseville’s homes usually means a clogged flue, a damaged liner, or even a chimney that’s too short for the roof pitch. We’ll check for obstructions, test the draft pressure, and see if your chimney’s height or angle is the issue. A fireplace that won’t draw right is a safety hazard, don’t keep guessing.
Ignoring it won’t make the problem disappear, it’ll just get worse. Unswept chimneys in older homes can have thick creosote layers that ignite easily. We’ll clean it thoroughly, inspect the masonry for hidden damage, and make sure your chimney’s safe for use. The good news? Once it’s clean, you’ll notice the difference in how your fireplace performs.
No, that’s a sign of cracked mortar or missing bricks. Water seeping into your chimney can rot the wood inside, damage the liner, and even weaken the masonry over time. We’ll repoint the mortar, replace damaged bricks, and seal any gaps so your chimney stays dry. In Roseville’s wet springs, a leaky chimney won’t just damage your home, it’ll cost you more down the road.
Yes, even gas fireplaces need a clean chimney. While they don’t produce creosote like wood fires, they can still leave soot and debris that clogs the flue. In older homes, the chimney might also have cracks or a failing liner that needs attention. We’ll inspect it thoroughly, clean out any buildup, and make sure it’s safe for gas use. Skipping this can lead to poor ventilation or even carbon monoxide buildup.
