From Las Colinas high-rises to mid-century homes near historic downtown Irving, we repair the brick, metal, and framing damage water leaves behind.
If your Irving chimney has been leaking, the water itself is often the smaller problem — what it leaves behind is the bigger one. Homeowners from Valley Ranch to the older streets near historic downtown Irving call us after noticing crumbling brick faces, a damper that won't budge, or a brown ring spreading across a ceiling near the flue. Lowes Chimney Sweep repairs the actual damage left by water intrusion, whether it's a stucco chase in Las Colinas or a 1960s firebox in central Irving. We're certified, insured, and available 7 days a week across the DFW area, with a Free Online Quote to start.
Water damage repair is a distinct job from leak repair — the source of the intrusion may already be sealed, but the structure underneath still needs attention. We commonly address:
Our team evaluates each of these separately from stopping the active leak, since sealing the entry point doesn't undo what's already rotted, rusted, or spalled.
Irving's chimney damage has a distinct local pattern. In Las Colinas and parts of Valley Ranch, tall stucco and EIFS chimney chases stand exposed above rooflines, catching hail and wind-driven rain that DFW storms regularly deliver. Those synthetic-stucco chases can look fine from the ground while trapping moisture behind the surface for months, quietly rotting the framing inside. Meanwhile, older homes near historic downtown Irving and Hackberry Creek often have original mid-century masonry that's had decades to absorb moisture and start spalling, especially where clay-soil movement has shifted foundations and opened small cracks over time. Both housing eras end up with the same underlying issues — rusted metal, rotted wood, stained interiors — just from different starting points.
We start with an inspection to separate cosmetic staining from structural rot, then repair in the right order: framing and sheathing first, then masonry or metal, then interior finishes. Depending on what we find, the job may involve masonry and brick repair, crown repair to stop future intrusion points, or damper replacement where rust has compromised the seal. For homes where the chase itself is failing, we also handle chase repair and resealing.

(214) 225-8874Rotted framing and rusted firebox components don't stabilize on their own — they tend to worsen with each rain event, especially during DFW's hail and wind-driven storm seasons. A damper that's rusted shut is both an inefficiency and a safety concern, and spalling brick that's ignored can progress to loose or falling material. If you've noticed any of these signs, it's worth scheduling a full chimney inspection before the next storm rolls through.
There's no flat number we can quote without seeing the chimney, because water damage repair costs depend on several factors: how far the rot has spread into framing, whether brick needs partial rebuilding or just spot repair, the condition of the damper and firebox metal, and whether interior drywall or ceiling finishes also need repair. A stucco chase in Las Colinas with hidden framing rot is a different scope than a masonry repair on an older central Irving home, even if both started as the same kind of leak. Every service we offer starts at $99, and we always provide clear, up-front pricing before work begins — no guessing, no surprises. Start with a Free Online Quote and we'll walk you through exactly what your Irving home needs, whether that's a small brick repair or a more involved framing and interior repair. For homeowners wanting to understand what to watch for beforehand, our guide to spotting chimney water damage early and our post on hail damage on stucco chimney chases are good places to start.

Active leaks usually show up as dripping or visible moisture during rain, while damage shows up afterward as stains, rust, or crumbling brick. In Irving, we often see both together, especially in Las Colinas homes with exposed stucco chases where a leak has been going on unnoticed for a while. An inspection can tell you which stage you're dealing with.
Often, yes. Many central Irving homes with older masonry only need the damaged brick faces addressed rather than a full rebuild. The extent depends on how deep the spalling goes and how much of the chimney it affects, which we assess during the inspection.
Yes, and it's a common issue in Las Colinas and Valley Ranch where tall synthetic-stucco chases are standard. The exterior can look intact while framing rots behind it, so we recommend checking these chases even without visible signs of a problem.
Stopping the leak prevents new moisture from getting in, but existing rot, rust, and spalling won't reverse on their own. Left alone, rusted dampers and rotted framing tend to worsen over Irving's next storm season, so both steps typically need to happen.
We serve Irving and the surrounding DFW area seven days a week, including Sundays, so we can get to storm-related damage quickly. Call (214) 225-8874 or request a Free Online Quote to get scheduled.
