Brick Repair & Chimney Crown Repair in Dallas–Fort Worth
Protect Your Chimney From Water Damage, Cracks, and Structural Failure
Over time, Texas weather takes a serious toll on your chimney. Heat, rain, hail, and freezing temperatures all work together to break down the brick, mortar joints, and chimney crown. When these areas start to crack, crumble, or absorb water, your chimney becomes vulnerable to leaks, structural issues, and dangerous fire hazards.
At The Chimney Sweep, we provide professional brick repair, tuckpointing, and chimney crown repair to keep your chimney structurally sound, weather-resistant, and safe for everyday use. With more than 45 years of experience serving homes across Dallas–Fort Worth, our team has the skill and craftsmanship to restore your chimney and protect it for years to come.
Importance of Brick Repair & Crown Repair
Your chimney is constantly exposed to harsh environmental conditions. Even minor cracks in the bricks or chimney crown can allow water to seep into the masonry. Once moisture gets in, it expands during cold weather—causing bricks to pop, crack, crumble, and deteriorate.
Left untreated, these issues can lead to:
- Water leaks inside the home
- Interior wall or ceiling damage
- Spalling or crumbling bricks
- Weak, unstable chimney structure
- Mold, mildew, and odor problems
- Costly rebuilding or full chimney replacement
Timely professional repair prevents a small problem from becoming a major, expensive issue.
Professional Brick Repair & Tuckpointing
Restore Damaged Bricks and Mortar
Brick and mortar deterioration is one of the most common problems we see in older chimneys — especially those without proper waterproofing or a functioning chimney cap.
Our brick repair services include:
Tuckpointing
We carefully remove old, loose, or crumbling mortar and replace it with new, high-strength mortar that matches your existing color and style.
Brick Replacement
Damaged, spalling, or broken bricks are removed and replaced to restore the strength and appearance of the chimney.
Partial or Full Chimney Rebuilds
If larger sections of the chimney are failing, we rebuild them safely and correctly using high-quality materials designed to withstand Texas weather.
Signs You Need Brick Repair
- Cracked, missing, or deteriorating mortar joints
- Loose or shifting bricks
- Flaking or peeling brick faces (spalling)
- White powder deposits (efflorescence)
- Leaning or unstable chimney structure
If you notice any of these issues, call us immediately for an inspection.
Chimney Crown Repair & Rebuilding
What Is the Chimney Crown?
The chimney crown is the concrete or mortar slab at the very top of the chimney. Its job is to keep water out, direct rain away from the masonry, and protect the flue from weather damage.
When the crown cracks or crumbles, water begins leaking into the chimney structure — often causing major damage you can’t see until it’s too late.
Common Crown Problems
- Hairline cracks
- Large fractures or chunks breaking off
- Poor construction or incorrect slope
- No drip edge to divert water
- Erosion from rain, hail, or harsh sun
Our Crown Repair Services
Crown Sealing
For minor cracks, we apply a flexible, waterproof sealant that prevents water from entering and expanding the damage.
Crown Resurfacing
Moderate damage requires resurfacing, which adds a thick, durable masonry coating that restores the crown’s strength and waterproof performance.
Full Crown Rebuild
When the crown is severely damaged, we remove it entirely and rebuild it using reinforced, long-lasting concrete with the proper slope and drip edge.
A properly built crown protects your chimney and drastically extends its lifespan.
Waterproofing for Long-Term Protection
Once repairs are complete, we strongly recommend applying a professional waterproofing treatment. This invisible barrier allows the chimney to breathe while preventing water from soaking into the brick and mortar.
Waterproofing can extend the life of your chimney by 10+ years.
