Leave the building and call from outside — that is an emergency services call, not a service call. A blocked or failed flue is one of the ways carbon monoxide reaches a living space, and headaches that clear when you leave the house point the same way. If you have had a chimney fire — a roaring sound, dense smoke, or debris on the roof — do not light another fire until the flue has been inspected.

Chimney Flashing Repair in Flower Mound
Most chimneys in Flower Mound are older than the appliance at the bottom of them. A flue built for one fuel and later asked to vent another is the ordinary condition here, not the exception, and it is behind a good share of what gets found on inspection.
67% of homes in Flower Mound heat with natural gas, so oversized flues left behind by an earlier fuel are the recurring finding here. (US Census ACS 2022)
Two layers, not a smear of cement
Correct flashing is step flashing woven in with the roof courses as they climb the chimney, plus counter-flashing let into a groove cut in the mortar and folded down over it.
What is usually there is roof cement troweled across the junction. It looks like a repair for a season, then it cracks — and in Texas it cracks faster, because the joint underneath is moving with the soil as well as with temperature.
The reglet is what lasts
Counter-flashing must be cut into the mortar, not stuck to the surface. Surface-mounted metal held with sealant fails when the sealant does.
Detailing for movement
Where a chimney is separating from the house seasonally, the counter-flashing has to have enough lap to accommodate that movement rather than being pinned tight. A flashing detailed as though nothing moves will fail on the first wet-dry cycle.
Coordinating with a reroof
Texas roofs get replaced often, frequently after hail. The best moment to redo chimney flashing is while the roof is open, and the worst outcome is a roofer laying new shingle over old flashing.
After a hail claim
Mass roof replacements happen at speed, and the chimney detail is what gets rushed. If your roof was replaced on a claim, the flashing is worth looking at.
Telling flashing from crown
Flashing leaks appear with wind-driven rain and often stop in ordinary showers. Crown leaks appear whenever it rains.

Chimney Flashing Repair in Flower Mound — FAQs
How much does chimney work cost in Flower Mound?
It depends entirely on what the chimney turns out to need, and the spread is wide. Sweeping, an inspection, a cap or a damper repair are the inexpensive end and are usually done in one visit. Relining, rebuilding above the roofline and full crown recasting are the expensive end. Nobody can quote it honestly over the phone, which is why the inspection comes first. The contractor you are introduced to sets their own prices and agrees them with you directly.
Do you cover all of Flower Mound?
Yes — all 3 ZIP codes in Flower Mound and the surrounding towns. Tell us where you are and we put you in touch with a company that covers it.
How quickly can someone get to me in Flower Mound?
For a routine inspection or sweep, usually within a few days, and sooner outside the fall rush. Late spring through early fall is the quiet season and the easiest time to book. If you have had a chimney fire, or you can smell gas or have a carbon monoxide alarm sounding, that is not a scheduling question — leave the building and call emergency services from outside.
My fireplace smokes into the room. What is wrong?
Several possible causes, and they need different work. A blocked cap or arrestor, a damper not opening fully, a smoke chamber that was never parged, a flue too small for the fireplace opening, or a chimney too short relative to the roof around it. A house sealed tight enough to run under negative pressure will also pull air down the flue. An inspection separates them; guessing does not.
Should the chimney be repaired or rebuilt?
It depends how far the damage goes. If a key scrapes mortar out but the brick is intact, that is repointing. Once brick faces have flaked through, a brick can be rocked by hand, or the stack leans, repointing has nothing sound to bond to and a rebuild is the honest answer. Most rebuilds stop at the roofline, because that is the section taking weather from every side.
Do you charge for a quote in Flower Mound?
There is no charge to you at any point. What a company charges to attend or to carry out an inspection is theirs to set, so agree it with them before they come out. An inspection is a real piece of work with a written report attached, and it is reasonable for it to be chargeable.
Can flashing just be sealed?
As a stopgap, yes. As the repair, no — and in Texas it fails faster than elsewhere because the joint is moving.
Why does the gap keep coming back?
Because the soil is moving the chimney and the house at different rates. That is a movement question, not a flashing question.
