Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterChimney Cleaning in Irving, TX
Chimney cap and crown work in Irving runs $450-$1,800 depending on whether we’re sealing hairline cracks or pouring a new concrete crown. The Blackland Prairie clay beneath Irving’s 1960s-1980s ranch homes heaves with every rain cycle, so we see firebox separation and crown displacement that sandy-soil cities simply don’t. Corrine Halstead’s crews document every crack with a camera scan before quoting, and every written price includes the 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (972) 284-1392 for a free estimate.
Why Irving Homes Are Different
Irving sits on the Blackland Prairie’s expansive clay soils, which swell with spring rains and shrink through summer drought. That ground movement cracks chimney bases from the foundation up, not just the crown down. In Valley Ranch and the Heritage District along Story Road, we regularly find structural separation at the firebox floor or smoke chamber as often as creosote buildup.
Irving’s summers top 100°F, but brief winter ice storms hit exposed brick crowns with damaging freeze-thaw cycles. Because North Texas homeowners burn only a handful of fires per season, flues rarely get hot enough to volatilize light creosote. Stage 2 glazed deposits build faster than residents expect. In older subdivisions, we also encounter fireplaces with seized or decorative dampers that have trapped moisture and debris for 40-plus years behind intact-looking brick.

These are the three services Irving homeowners call about most often.
Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Irving
Our NFPA 211 Level 2 inspection with camera scan finds what infrequent burning hides: Stage 2 creosote, bird nests in seized dampers, and cracked clay liners in Irving’s original ranch stock. Every sweep includes a documented photo record and written price before work starts. Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in Irving

AfterChimney Cap & Crown in Irving
Irving’s ice storms and clay soil heave attack chimney crowns from two directions: freeze-thaw opens surface cracks, then ground movement widens them into structural splits. Most crowns on 1960s-1980s ranch homes are original poured concrete now spalling at the edges. We evaluate every crown with a camera scan of the flue interior and exterior photo documentation, then quote cap or crown work under the Haven Standard. Chimney Cap & Crown jobs here range from simple cap swaps to full crown teardowns.
Crown Repair
Signs you need it
Chunks of concrete missing from the crown edge, rust stains on the brick below, or water pooling on top after rain.
What it costs in Irving
Crown repair in Irving typically runs $650-$1,200 for crack sealing and partial resurfacing.
How we do it
We grind out loose material, apply a bonding agent, and pour new crown mix sloped to shed water, then photograph the finished slope and document it under Haven Standard Clause 4.
Crown Coating
Signs you need it
Hairline cracks spiderwebbing across the crown surface with no chunks missing yet.
What it costs in Irving
Crown coating in Irving typically runs $450-$850 for cleaning, crack filling, and elastomeric sealant application.
How we do it
We pressure-wash the crown, fill cracks with compatible patching compound, and roll on a breathable elastomeric coating rated for freeze-thaw cycling.
What Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in Irving
| Item | Typical range in Irving |
|---|---|
| Crown coating | $450 - $850 |
| Crown repair | $650 - $1,200 |
| Cap replacement (single flue) | $350 - $650 |
How long does a crown repair last in Irving?
A properly sloped concrete crown repair lasts 15-20 years in Irving’s climate, though clay soil movement may require earlier inspection of the chimney base. We include crown condition in every annual sweep reminder.
Can you match my existing brick if the crown needs rebuilding?
We source from regional brickyards and photograph the existing courting before teardown; most Irving ranch homes used common regional brick that remains available, and we document the match under Haven Standard Clause 4.
Chimney Liner & Rebuild in Irving
Irving’s original clay-tile flue liners in 1960s-1980s ranch homes are failing at mortar joints and spalling at the joints where freeze-thaw meets infrequent hot fires. The Blackland Prairie clay soil accelerates structural shifting that cracks liners at the smoke chamber transition. We camera-scan every flue to map damage before recommending stainless steel, flexible, or partial rebuild solutions. Chimney Liner & Rebuild quotes in Irving include the full photo record and written warranty.
Stainless Steel Liner
Signs you need it
Cracked or missing clay tiles visible on camera scan, or smoke leaking into living spaces through mortar gaps.
What it costs in Irving
Stainless steel liner installation in Irving typically runs $2,500-$4,500 for a standard ranch-home flue.
How we do it
We measure the flue with a video scan, drop a rigid or flexible 316Ti stainless liner, insulate with ceramic blanket where required by code, and connect a new top plate and cap.
Partial Rebuild
Signs you need it
Structural separation between the firebox floor and chimney base, or leaning stack above the roofline.
What it costs in Irving
Partial chimney rebuild in Irving typically runs $3,500-$7,500 depending on courses affected and scaffold access.
How we do it
We dismantle to sound masonry, salvage reusable brick, pour a new concrete crown, and rebuild with matching brick and proper through-wall flashing.
What Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in Irving
| Item | Typical range in Irving |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel liner | $2,500 - $4,500 |
| Flexible liner (offset flues) | $3,000 - $5,500 |
| Partial rebuild | $3,500 - $7,500 |
Does every old chimney in Irving need a new liner?
Not necessarily; we replace only after camera scan confirms cracked tiles, gaps, or combustible creosote buildup that cleaning cannot safely remove. Call (972) 284-1392 for a free inspection and written recommendation.
How disruptive is a liner installation?
Most Irving ranch-home liner jobs finish in one day with minimal interior disruption; we seal the fireplace opening and run equipment through the roof, leaving only the photo record and written warranty inside.
