Why Flint Chimney Sweep Is Irving’s Preferred Chimney Repair Company

Irving homeowners have a legitimate reason to be skeptical of chimney companies. We hear it constantly: a tech shows up late, quotes one price on the phone and a different one after looking at the flue, then recommends a full rebuild with no evidence. Our answer to that is simple. Every Irving job gets a camera inspection first, a written price second, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise on every repair. If a covered repair fails within one full year, we return at no charge. No argument, no re-quote.

Our technicians are background-checked and uniformed, so you know exactly who’s walking through your door. Hank Delano leads the Irving crew, and he’s the one who signs off on repair scopes before they go to you. We don’t use subcontractors. The crew that shows up is the crew that does the work. And our Irving customers can verify the materials we use by name, because we spec them by job, not by margin. If a HeatShield liner is what the flue needs, you’ll see it on the written scope and on the invoice.

Chimney Liner Installation in Irving

Chimney Liner Installation in Irving is one of the most common repairs we perform on homes built between the 1960s and early 1990s, because the original clay flue tiles in those chimneys are now past their service life. A liner is the inner wall of the flue, the passage that channels smoke, heat, and combustion gases safely out of the house. When a clay tile cracks at the joint, which is exactly what we see on 1970s ranchers in Valley Ranch and older subdivisions near Irving High School, heat can reach the framing around the chimney. That’s the setup for a slow, hidden chimney fire.

Liner installation in Irving generally runs $1,800 – $2,800 for a single-flue home, depending on flue height and whether we’re relining an existing flue or installing a stainless liner inside a damaged clay tile system. We use HeatShield, a cerfied cast-in-place liner system, and DuraFlex stainless steel, both professional-grade materials you can look up independently. The old liner gets a camera scan first. If the cracks are hairline and isolated, we may recommend HeatShield’s joint repair system instead of a full reline, which brings the cost down substantially.

When a liner needs replacement

The camera doesn’t lie. If we see a cracked tile joint, a gap that opens when the flue heats up, or third-degree creosote that has glazed the interior, those are signs the liner has failed or is failing. Third-degree creosote looks like tar and cannot be swept out with a brush; it requires chemical treatment or removal, and once it forms, the liner usually has to go.

What the job involves

We run a camera down the full flue length, document every crack and joint with photos, and give you that report before we quote a liner. On install day, the old tile is either broken out or prepped, the new liner is pulled or cast in place, and the chimney cap gets replaced if it’s deteriorated. The whole thing usually takes one day, and you’ll have a draft test before we leave.

Chimney Flashing Repair in Irving

Chimney Flashing Repair in Irving is the repair most Irving homeowners could have prevented if the flashing had been checked during a routine sweep. Flashing is the metal barrier where the chimney meets the roofline, and it’s the single most common entry point for water in a Texas chimney system. Irving’s climate plays a role here: we get intense sun that bakes the sealant, followed by hard spring downpours, then a few nights each winter with temperatures below freezing. That cycle expands and contracts the metal and the mortar it sits in until the flashing pulls away from the brick. Water gets in, and the damage moves fast.

Flashing repair in Irving typically runs $350 – $900 depending on whether we’re re-sealing, replacing a section, or rebuilding the flashing entirely with new step flashing and counter-flashing. On homes around the Las Colinas area and the older neighborhoods off Belt Line Road, we often see flashing that was installed with caulk instead of mechanical fasteners and proper counter-flashing. Caulk fails in the Texas heat. It’s a temporary fix that someone sold as permanent.

Signs you need flashing repair

Water stains on the ceiling near the fireplace, damp drywall around the chimney chase, or a musty smell in the firebox after rain are all flashing failures until proven otherwise. We’ll get on the roof, inspect the flashing and crown, and show you photos of what’s actually happening. If the flashing is intact and the crown is the problem, we’ll tell you that instead and quote the crown repair honestly.

How we fix it right

We cut out the old flashing, install new step flashing with proper overlaps, and seal the counter-flashing with a polyurethane sealant rated for Texas temperature swings. The difference is in the mechanical attachment and the overlap pattern. Most Irving flashing repairs take two to three hours on site, and the repair carries the same one-year written guarantee as everything else we do.

Trusted Brands We Service in Irving

We stock HeatShield liner materials and Gelco flashing products for Irving jobs, which means most repairs don’t wait on a parts shipment. Gelco’s pre-fabricated chimney caps and chase covers are what we install when a missing or deteriorated cap is letting rain and birds into the flue, which we see regularly on mid-rise condo chases near the Las Colinas Urban Center. Olympia Chimney supplies the stainless steel components we use in high-wind areas of Irving where standard caps fail. Famco’s termination caps and dampers round out what we keep on the truck. You don’t need to know these brands when you call. You just need to know that when a chimney company names the material, you can verify it.

Common Chimney Repair Problems We See in Irving Homes

• Freeze-thaw crown spalling: Irving’s occasional hard freezes push water deeper into the mortar at the chimney crown. The brick starts to flake off in small pieces, and once the crown is compromised, water runs down into the smoke chamber and rots the damper assembly.
• Cracked clay flue tiles in 1960s – 70s homes: The original clay tiles in Irving homes built before 1980 develop hairline cracks along the mortar joints over decades of heating and cooling. A cracked tile joint lets heat reach the framing, and that’s how a chimney fire starts without anyone ever seeing flames.
• Shared flue issues in mid-rise condos: In Irving’s condo buildings near Las Colinas, a single metal chase often serves multiple units. A blockage in that shared chase, usually from a bird nest or a failing cap, can back-draft carbon monoxide into every connected unit, not just the one with the blocked flue.
• Improper flashing and silicone-only repairs: We re-do a lot of flashing work in Irving that was originally installed with contractors’ silicone instead of mechanical step flashing. Texas sun breaks down silicone in a few seasons, and the leak returns worse than before because water has been trapped against the brick.
