Repair
The standard we follow
Three inspection levels. Know which one you need.
NFPA 211, the national fire code for chimneys, defines three levels. We tell you which one fits before you pay for it.
Annual check
The accessible parts of the chimney, firebox and connections. Comes with every sweep.
Camera inspection
Everything in Level 1, plus a video scan of the full flue, the attic and the roof. You get the footage and a written report.
Concealed areas
May mean opening a wall or part of the chimney. We show you why it's needed before any of it happens.
Local knowledge
North Texas is hard on chimneys
The damage we see in Dallas is different from what a sweep sees in Chicago or Denver. These four causes account for most of our repair calls.
Hail
DFW is one of the most hail-prone metros in the country. Hail dents caps and chase covers and cracks crowns, and the leak often shows up weeks later.
→ Storm check · cap & crown repair · insurance photos
Hard freezes
Water that soaks into brick expands when it freezes. After a winter like February 2021, spalled brick and loose mortar joints show up across the metro.
→ Tuckpointing · brick replacement · waterproofing
Clay soil
Much of Dallas sits on expansive clay that swells when wet and shrinks in drought. A chimney on its own footing can lean or pull away from the house.
→ Separation check · flashing reset · structural repair
Summer heat
Months over 95°F bake mortar crowns and sealants until they crack. In fall the first fire finds every gap, and so do the spring storms.
→ Crown sealing · annual inspection before first fire

Questions
What Dallas homeowners ask us
Straight answers. If yours isn't here, call and ask a technician.
How often should a chimney be swept in Dallas?
NFPA 211 calls for an inspection once a year and a sweep when it's needed. If you burn wood regularly in winter, plan on a sweep every year, ideally in September or October before the first cold front. Gas fireplaces still need a yearly check for nests, blockages and damage.
How much does a chimney sweep cost?
Chimney inspections start at $69, and estimates for repair work are free. Every price is in writing before any work starts. See our Dallas price guide for typical ranges.
Why is my chimney leaking?
In North Texas most leaks come from a cracked crown, failed flashing where the chimney meets the roof, a rusted chase cover, or porous brick. A Level 2 camera inspection finds the source, so you only pay for the repair you need.
Do I need a chimney inspection when buying a home?
Yes. NFPA 211 calls for a Level 2 inspection when a property changes hands. A general home inspector usually checks only what's visible in the firebox and from the ground.
Will insurance pay for hail damage to my chimney?
Often, when the damage comes from a covered storm. We document cap, chase cover and crown damage with dated photos you can send to your insurer. Your policy decides what's covered.
Are you open on weekends?
We're open Sunday through Thursday from 7:30am to 8pm and Friday from 7:30am to 5pm. We're closed Saturday.
How do I avoid chimney scams?
Call the number on a company's own website or Google profile, ask for photos of any problem, and get the price in writing. Be wary of very low "special" prices that turn into large repair quotes once someone is on your roof.
Fireplace season is here. Get on the schedule.
Open Sunday through Thursday until 8pm.
