Greater San Antonio · Guadalupe, Comal & Bexar Counties
Sweeping, inspections, caps and chase cover work across Schertz. You see photographs of what we find before any repair is agreed.
Schertz sits northeast of San Antonio on the I-35 and I-10 corridors, and it is unusual in spanning three counties: Guadalupe, Comal and Bexar. That has practical consequences, because permits, appraisal and county services depend on which part of the city an address falls in.
The other defining feature is growth. Guadalupe County grew just over 3% between 2022 and 2023, ranking among the fastest-growing counties in Texas, and Comal County grew above 5% in the same period. Schertz sits at the meeting point of both.
That growth shows in the housing. Much of Schertz is recent suburban construction, which in chimney terms means framed chases with metal covers rather than solid masonry. The failures happen at the top: chase covers, caps and the flashing where the chase meets the roof.
On suburban housing of this age the metal lid on a framed chimney is the component that goes first. Rust streaks running down the siding are the usual first sign, and water has often reached the framing by then.
Schertz spans Guadalupe, Comal and Bexar counties. It rarely matters for the chimney itself, but it does affect which county office handles permits and records for your address.
When counties grow at three to five percent a year, construction moves quickly. Chase covers fitted without adequate slope and approximately sized caps are common faults in fast-built housing.
Schertz sits adjacent to Randolph Air Force Base, and the area has a substantial military and veteran population. We are happy to work around deployment schedules and are used to rental and property-management arrangements.
The full Lowes Chimney Sweep inventory is available across Schertz. Caps, chase covers and leak work carry the emphasis because of the age of most local housing.
Newer flues still accumulate creosote every season they burn. An annual sweep applies regardless of how new the chimney is.
This is the category that matters most in Schertz. A chase cover needs correct sizing and enough slope to shed water. Fitted properly it lasts; fitted badly it pools and rots the framing beneath.
Flashing at the roofline is the most common water entry point on newer construction. We trace the actual leak path before quoting.
An uncapped flue attracts nesting birds in spring regardless of the age of the house. We remove the nest and fit prevention afterwards.
Schertz spans Guadalupe, Comal and Bexar counties, northeast of San Antonio along Interstate 35.
Schertz spans Guadalupe, Comal and Bexar counties. It rarely affects the chimney work itself, but it does determine which county handles permits and property records for your address.
The chase cover and the cap. On suburban construction of this age these fail before anything structural does, and both are water problems rather than masonry ones.
It is the metal lid on top of a framed chimney chase, which is what most newer Schertz homes have instead of solid brick. When it corrodes or does not drain properly, water enters the framing.
Yes, if you burn wood. Creosote accumulates regardless of the age of the flue.
