Chimney Repairs
Texas weather is hard on a chimney. Sun, hail, heavy rain, and sudden freezes all chip away at the materials that keep your chimney safe and watertight. When something goes wrong — a loose flue connection, rotting wood siding around the chase, or crumbling mortar joints — small problems don’t stay small for long.
The Chimney Sweep has been the trusted name in chimney repairs across Dallas–Fort Worth since 1980. As a family-run, service-oriented business, we repair the job right the first time, using quality materials built to hold up to Texas conditions.
Common Chimney Repairs We Handle
Flue pipe connection repair. The flue pipe carries smoke and gases safely out of your home, and every joint has to stay sealed and secure. Loose, corroded, or misaligned connections can let dangerous gases escape into your living space or let water and debris into the system. We inspect each connection point and reseal or replace damaged sections.
Wood siding & chase repair. Many chimneys are enclosed by a wood-framed chase, and that siding takes a beating from rain, humidity, and sun. Once it starts to rot, warp, or pull away, it opens the door to water intrusion and further damage behind it.
Mortar joint repair (tuckpointing). Mortar joints hold your chimney’s brickwork together, and they’re one of the first things to fail under repeated freeze-thaw cycles. We remove the old, damaged mortar and repack the joints with fresh, matching mortar.

Chimney Repair Questions, Answered
Most homeowners notice a symptom — a smell, a stain, a loose part — without knowing the cause. A full inspection identifies the actual source before we recommend a repair.
It varies widely depending on what's wrong — a flue reseal is a much smaller job than chase siding replacement or a full mortar repointing. We provide firm, written pricing after inspection.
It can be. A loose or disconnected flue joint can let combustion gases, including carbon monoxide, escape into your living space, so it's worth addressing promptly rather than waiting.
We don't recommend it for anything beyond hairline surface cracks. Matching mortar composition and color, and properly repacking joints, takes experience to get right and to last.
We recommend an annual inspection, paired with your regular chimney sweep, to catch issues while they're still small and inexpensive to fix.
