Chimney Repair in Flower Mound, TX
Most chimney repair in Flower Mound is not brickwork. The typical home here was built around 1997, which means the chimney is a framed chase with metal components inside it rather than a masonry stack, and the repairs it needs are fabrication and sheet metal work rather than repointing.
The single most common repair we carry out in this town is chase cover replacement. Builder-grade galvanized covers corrode through in roughly twenty-five to thirty years, which puts most of the housing stock in range right now, and a failed cover lets water into the framing and firebox from behind where nobody sees it.
What the service includes
- Chase cover replacementFabricated to your chase dimensions in stainless or painted steel, with a cross-break so water sheds instead of pooling.
- Crown repair and rebuildOn the masonry chimneys that do exist here, cracked and spalling crowns rebuilt and sealed against further water entry.
- Flashing repairFailed or lifted flashing reset and sealed, which is the second most common water entry point on Flower Mound rooflines.
- Firebox and panel repairCracked refractory replaced with panels matched to your unit model, or the firebox rebuilt where panels are discontinued.
- Liner repair and replacementDamaged or disconnected liners repaired or replaced to restore safe venting.
Questions we get in Flower Mound, TX
- What is a chase cover and why does it keep coming up?
- It is the metal lid on top of the framed box your fireplace sits in. Builder-grade galvanized covers corrode through in twenty-five to thirty years, which puts most Flower Mound homes in range now. Once one fails, water runs down inside the chase and damages the firebox and framing from behind, out of sight.
- My chimney is not brick. Do you still repair it?
- Yes, and that is most of what we repair here. A framed chase with a metal chimney inside it is the standard build in Flower Mound. The work is fabrication and sheet metal rather than masonry.
