Irving’s brick veneer homes from the 1960s through 1980s have chimney systems with specific failure patterns. We know them because we repair them every week. From Valley Ranch to Las Colinas, the combination of expansive clay soil, humid springs, and decades of sporadic fireplace use creates repair work that generic chimney companies misdiagnose. We don’t. For a complete look at what we do, see our Chimney Repair service page.

Styles & brands we work with
Chimney Flashing Repair in Irving
Chimney flashing repair is the single most common chimney repair we perform in Irving, and it’s the one that prevents the most expensive damage. Flashing is the metal barrier where your chimney meets the roofline. When it fails, water works its way down through the roof deck, into the attic, and along the chimney chase. In Irving’s humid spring months, that moisture feeds rot and rust fast. A standard flashing repair in Irving typically runs $300 – $700, depending on how many sides of the chimney need work and whether the old flashing is salvageable.
We see the same pattern in Irving: original galvanized flashing from the 1970s and 1980s, rusted through at the corners, hidden under a layer of roof cement someone slapped on ten years ago. The cement cracks, water gets in, and the homeowner notices a ceiling stain two rooms away from the fireplace. By then the repair is bigger than it needed to be.
Repair or Replace: Reading the Flashing
Not every flashing job calls for a full replacement. Sometimes the sealant has failed but the metal is sound. Sometimes the step flashing is fine but the counter flashing pulled away from the mortar. We document what we find with photos and put the scope in writing before we touch anything.
The Materials That Hold Up Here
We use Famco flashing components and custom-bent aluminum or copper where the roofline demands it. For chimneys with steep pitches or unusual configurations, common in some of Irving’s mid-century custom builds, we fabricate on site. A proper flashing repair should last 20 to 30 years in North Texas conditions. If our work fails inside the first year, we return at no charge under the 365-Day Done Right Promise.
Chimney Crown Repair in Irving
Chimney crown repair in Irving addresses the concrete or mortar slab that caps the top of the chimney. It’s the first line of defense against water getting into the brick and mortar below. When crowns crack, spall, or develop gaps at the flue tile joint, water creeps into the masonry. Freeze-thaw cycles in Irving winters, mild as they are, still push those cracks wider every year. Crown repairs in Irving typically run $400 – $1,200, depending on the extent of cracking and whether we’re resurfacing or rebuilding the crown entirely.
A rebuilt crown is a full removal and recast, with proper slope, drip edge, and an expansion gap between the crown and the flue tile. A resurfaced crown is a new layer of specialized crown coat over existing concrete. We determine which you need by looking at the crown after cleaning it, not before.
Signature Crown Conditions in Irving
Most Irving crowns from original construction were poured too thin, with no drip edge and no expansion joint. They crack within the first ten years. After forty years, which is where many Irving homes are now, the crown is a liability. We rebuild with Olympia Chimney crown materials and cast a proper overhang.
Crown Repair vs. Crown Replacement
If the existing crown is structurally sound but worn, we resurface with Gelco crown coat. If it’s crumbling or has separated from the flue tile, we replace it. Either way, the written quote tells you exactly which approach we recommend and why. No one guesses at your expense.
Trusted Brands We Service in Irving
We work with professional-grade chimney products from HeatShield, Gelco, Olympia Chimney, and Famco because they’re tested, specified, and proven in North Texas conditions. We keep common components stocked locally for faster turnaround on Irving jobs, which matters when a failed crown or rusted flashing is letting water into the house. Whether it’s a DuraFlex stainless steel liner for a cracked clay tile flue or a HeatShield resurfacing system that restores a firebox without a full rebuild, the material is matched to the failure. You can verify every brand we use because we name them on the quote. That’s the Garrison Standard.

AfterCommon Chimney Repair Problems We See in Irving Homes
- Cracked clay tile flue liners. Irving’s expansive clay soil shifts with moisture, and that movement transfers up through the chimney stack. The clay liner cracks, and flue gases find paths into wall cavities.
- Rusted prefabricated metal chimneys. Newer subdivisions from the 2000s onward often have factory-built metal chimneys. Irving’s humid springs accelerate corrosion at the chase top and pipe joints, leading to rust-through and draft failure.
- Glazed third-degree creosote in seldom-used fireplaces. Many Las Colinas and Valley Ranch chimneys haven’t been swept in over a decade. What looks like a decorative fireplace is actually a blocked, glazed flue that standard sweeping can’t clear.
- Failed flashing on brick veneer homes. Original galvanized flashing from the 1960s through 1980s has hit the end of its service life across Irving’s housing stock. Water entry at the roofline is the most common repair trigger we see.

FAQs About Chimney Repair in Irving
Irving’s expansive clay soil expands when wet and contracts during dry spells, and that movement puts constant stress on masonry structures. For a 1960s or 1980s brick veneer home, that means the clay tile flue liner inside the chimney can crack over time. Those cracks create pathways where flue gases and heat can reach combustible materials around the chimney. A Level 2 inspection with a camera is the standard way we confirm liner condition here. Call (361) 492-4099 to schedule one.
Third-degree creosote is a hard, glazed tar buildup that forms when a fire burns too cool and the byproducts condense before they can exit the flue. In Las Colinas and Valley Ranch, many fireplaces are used only a handful of times per year, often with unseasoned wood or during mild weather. That’s exactly the condition that produces glazing. Once it forms, standard brushing won’t remove it. We handle it with mechanical removal or liner replacement, depending on severity.
For an Irving home with two or more fireplaces or flues, we recommend a Level 2 camera inspection every three years at minimum, with a Level 1 visual check annually before the burning season. Larger properties with multiple masonry fireplaces and gas appliances often have shared flues and unusual venting configurations that need more careful attention. Hank Delano’s crew documents the condition of each flue individually so you know which one needs work and which one can wait.
Yes. We inspect, repair, and replace factory-built metal chimney components in Irving’s newer subdivisions. Those systems use specific pipe sections, chase tops, and termination caps. When rust-through occurs or the draft fails, the repair is usually a component replacement rather than a full rebuild. We’ll identify the manufacturer if the labeling is still legible and quote the specific parts needed. The written estimate covers exactly what gets replaced.
Look for cracks wider than a hairline, areas where the crown surface is flaking or spalling, or any gap between the crown and the flue tile. In Irving, the freeze-thaw cycle works on those openings every winter, even when temperatures only dip below freezing a few times. If water is pooling on the crown or you see efflorescence (white mineral deposits) on the brick below the roofline, that’s moisture working through a compromised crown. Call (361) 492-4099 and we’ll assess it in person. Estimates are free.
