Sweeping, inspections, masonry and liner work across Leon Valley. You see photographs of what we find before any repair is agreed.
Leon Valley is an independent city in Bexar County on the northwest side of San Antonio, surrounded by the larger city. It incorporated in the 1950s and much of its housing dates from the decades immediately after.
That places typical Leon Valley chimneys at fifty to seventy years old. Masonry of that age has receded mortar joints, crowns that have generally cracked, and clay liners that frequently show damage.
Sitting on the northwest side also puts Leon Valley closer to the Hill Country edge, where wooded lots and slightly cooler winter evenings mean fireplaces get genuine seasonal use.

Clay tile liners from the mid twentieth century crack with age and thermal cycling. That damage is invisible from the room and only a camera inspection finds it.
San Antonio sits on the Edwards Plateau edge, where limestone appears in older construction. Stone and older brick both need appropriate mortar rather than the hardest modern mix.
These enclaves have their own municipal governments despite being surrounded by San Antonio, which affects permits for any structural work.
