From Las Colinas high-rises to mid-century homes near downtown Irving, we repair the chase structures that hail and wind-driven rain wear down first.
Irving's chimneys take a beating that isn't always obvious from the ground. In Las Colinas, tall exposed chases catch hail and gusting wind off the lake, while older homes near historic downtown Irving are dealing with decades of clay-soil movement pulling at siding seams and flashing. Whether your chase is stucco, EIFS, or metal-clad, a damaged chase structure lets water behind the wall system long before anyone notices a leak inside — and by then, the sheathing underneath is already rotting.
A chase problem rarely announces itself with a dramatic leak. Instead, homeowners in Irving usually notice smaller clues first:
If you've already had your chase cover checked or replaced and the problem persists, the chase structure itself — not the top cover — is often the real culprit.
Irving's building stock is a mix of eras, and that matters for chase repair. Newer construction in Las Colinas and Valley Ranch often uses tall, slim chases with EIFS or synthetic stucco finishes that look sharp but can trap moisture if the seal fails at a seam. Central Irving's mid-century homes tend to have wood-framed chases with aluminum or vinyl siding that's now decades old, brittle, and more prone to cracking under hail impact. Add in Irving's pattern of hail events, wind-driven rain, and shifting clay soil that flexes foundations and chimney footings over time, and you get chase joints that separate just enough to let water in. A chase that looked fine last year can develop real rot after one bad spring storm season.
This service focuses specifically on the chase structure — the box that surrounds and protects the chimney above the roofline. That means we address:
This is not a full chase rebuild and it's not simply swapping the metal top cover — those are separate services (full chimney rebuild and chase cover replacement). Chase repair addresses the walls and flashing of the chase itself, restoring the barrier that keeps weather out without tearing the whole structure down.

(214) 225-8874We start with a close inspection of the chase exterior and flashing, checking for soft spots, separated seams, and signs of past water intrusion. From there we identify whether the issue is isolated to siding and trim or has reached the sheathing underneath. Related concerns like active chimney leaks or damaged flashing are addressed as part of the same visit when they're contributing to the chase damage, so you're not calling us back out for a problem we could have caught the first time. A full chimney inspection is a good companion step if it's been a few years since your last one, especially after a hail season like Irving tends to see.
Chase repair costs vary based on a few real factors: how much of the siding or stucco is affected, whether the sheathing underneath needs replacing, the height and accessibility of the chase (a factor that matters more on Las Colinas high-rises and steep central Irving rooflines), and the type of exterior material being repaired or matched. EIFS and stucco repairs typically involve more prep work than siding panel replacement, and flashing repairs at the chase base add labor depending on roof pitch and material.

A chase cover problem usually means water is coming in from the top, often visible as rust or a loose metal cap. Chase structure damage shows up as cracked stucco, buckled siding, or soft trim on the sides of the chase itself. In Irving we see both, often together, especially on older homes where a leaking cover has been rotting the chase for a while before anyone calls.
Yes. Hail is one of the more common causes of chase damage we see across Irving, particularly on siding-clad chases in Valley Ranch and older aluminum siding in central Irving neighborhoods. Even hail that doesn't dent the roof can crack stucco or dent siding on a chase that's more exposed.
We work to match the existing exterior material as closely as possible, whether that's siding, stucco, or EIFS. Because Irving has such a range of home ages and finishes, from newer Las Colinas builds to mid-century downtown homes, matching materials is something we assess on-site rather than guess at over the phone.
If the leak is coming from a damaged chase or its flashing, repairing that structure should resolve it. We check for related issues like flashing separation or an active leak path during the visit so the fix addresses the actual source, not just the visible symptom.
We serve Irving seven days a week, including Sundays, and can typically schedule an inspection quickly given the volume of homes we service across the DFW area. Call (214) 225-8874 or request a Free Online Quote and we'll get you on the schedule.
