What is chimney crown?
The chimney crown is the concrete or masonry cap at the very top of the chimney structure — it sheds water away from the flue. A cracked or deteriorated crown is one of the most common (and most damaging) chimney problems in DFW: water enters the masonry, freezes, and accelerates spalling. Crown repair can be a sealing job (light cracks) or a full rebuild (severe damage).

How often should I have my chimney swept?
The NFPA recommends an annual chimney inspection (Level 1), with sweeping done when buildup reaches 1/8" of creosote. For active wood-burning fireplaces, that's typically once per heating season.
Are your technicians certified?
Our chimney inspectors hold current CSIA (Chimney Safety Institute of America) certifications, verifiable via the CSIA member directory at csia.org. We also have NFI specialists for fireplace installations.
Do you offer emergency service?
Yes — emergency response is available 24/7 (subject to crew availability) for active water leaks, animal trapped in flue, post-fire damage, and storm damage. Same-day in most cases.
Do you provide written quotes before work begins?
Always. We provide a written quote before any work begins, with photos of the issues we found. Final pricing depends on chimney condition and any additional work identified during inspection.
What's the Prime Program membership?
Prime Program is our annual maintenance program at $19.99/month ($240/year). Includes: annual Level 1 inspection and sweep ($248 value), priority scheduling, 10% off all repairs, and emergency response priority. Cancel anytime, no contract.
