From the tall chimney chases of Las Colinas to the mid-century brick homes near downtown Irving, we trace every leak to its true source before we recommend a repair.
A water stain on the ceiling near your fireplace doesn't tell you much on its own — in Irving, that same stain could trace back to a cracked crown on a Valley Ranch two-story, failed flashing on a mid-century home near historic downtown Irving, or a hairline gap in a stucco chase towering above a Las Colinas townhome. Lowes Chimney Sweep starts every leak call the same way: find the entry point first, then fix that specific problem. We serve Irving and the surrounding DFW area seven days a week, including Sundays, with certified, insured technicians and services starting at $99.
Chimney leaks rarely come from one obvious spot, and guessing leads to repairs that don't solve anything. Water can travel sideways along framing before it ever shows up as a stain, so the visible damage inside your home is often several feet from the actual entry point outside. Our process is built around finding that entry point before any repair work begins.
Once we know exactly where water is getting in, the fix might be as targeted as a crown repair or new flashing — not a full rebuild you didn't need.
Irving's chimney stock is genuinely mixed, and that matters for diagnosis. In Las Colinas and Valley Ranch, many homes have tall, exposed chimney chases finished in stucco or EIFS — these catch wind-driven rain and hail at a height and angle that older, shorter masonry chimneys don't experience the same way. A hard hailstorm can dent a cap, crack a chase seam, or split a crown, and the resulting leak may not show up inside the home until weeks of subsequent rain finally find their way through. Meanwhile, central Irving's older mid-century homes tend to have traditional brick chimneys where decades of clay-soil movement have shifted foundations slightly, opening hairline separations between the chimney and the house where flashing was never re-sealed. Add in North Texas's habit of alternating drought and downpour, and both chimney styles end up dealing with the same core issue: materials that flexed, cracked, or separated are now letting water where it shouldn't go.
Our technicians inspect the full chimney system from the ground and, when needed, from the roofline — crown, flashing, cap, brick, and chase — rather than assuming the first cracked surface they see is the culprit. We look at the pattern of interior staining, check for granule loss or lifted shingles around the flashing line, and examine mortar joints for the kind of spalling that lets water soak in rather than shed off. That inspection is also a natural point to flag anything else worth knowing, whether that's a cap that's rusted through or masonry that needs tuckpointing down the road.

If a full assessment turns up more than a single-point leak, we'll walk you through whether a chase cover replacement or a broader chimney inspection makes more sense than a spot repair — and why, using what we've seen on your specific chimney. For homeowners wanting the fuller picture on causes, our post on why chimneys leak in North Texas and our guide to spotting hail damage after a storm cover the background in more depth.
There's no single price for chimney leak repair because the cost follows the diagnosis, not the other way around. A few factors that typically drive the estimate:

We inspect the crown, flashing, cap, brick, and chase from the ground and roofline, matching what we see outside to the pattern of staining inside. On taller Las Colinas-style chases we pay particular attention to seams and flashing lines that catch wind-driven rain.
If it only happens with wind-driven rain, the entry point is often flashing or a chase seam rather than the crown, since horizontal rain reaches gaps that straight-down rain doesn't. This is common on the exposed chases found around Valley Ranch and Las Colinas.
Yes — hail can dent a cap, hairline-crack a crown, or split a chase seam without leaving damage visible from the ground. Given Irving's hail exposure, a leak that starts after a storm is worth having inspected even if the chimney looks fine at a glance.
Often, yes. Central Irving's older brick chimneys tend to develop leaks from mortar deterioration and foundation shift tied to clay-soil movement, while newer stucco or EIFS chases in Las Colinas and Valley Ranch more often leak through cap or seam failures.
We serve Irving seven days a week, including Sundays, and can typically schedule an inspection quickly given how much water damage can worsen while a leak sits undiagnosed. Call (214) 225-8874 or request a Free Online Quote to get on the schedule.
