Argyle is a Denton County community of equestrian estates and wooded custom homes. Argyle combines mature tree cover with large custom builds. Overhanging limbs drop debris into open flues and shade keeps masonry damp longer after rain, which accelerates spalling on north-facing brick.
That shapes what we look for. Rather than running a generic checklist, we start from what Argyle homes are actually built from and what this corner of North Texas does to them — hail in spring, hard freeze-thaw swings in winter, and long dry heat in between that opens every joint it can find.
Texan Flue treats every Argyle chimney as the crown jewel of the home it sits on. Our free estimate goes onto the roof and a camera goes down the flue, so you see the true condition of your crown, cap, flashing and liner before a dollar is spent on repairs — and you keep the footage whether or not you hire us.
When you call from Argyle, we can usually be there the same day — because fireplace problems rarely arrive at convenient moments, and neither should the fix.
You will know the price before we begin, in writing, with nothing left vague. If the scope ever needs to change, work pauses until you have approved the revision.
Everything we touch is recorded on camera. You receive visual evidence of the before, the after, and the reasoning in between — a permanent record for your home.
And we carry ourselves like guests in your home: clean uniforms, covered floors, and a firebox left cleaner than we found it. That is the Texan Flue standard on every street in Argyle.
Two problems, actually. Limbs drop leaves and acorns into an uncapped or damaged flue, and the shade keeps the brick from drying between rains. Persistently damp masonry spalls faster. A properly sized cap solves the first; waterproofing addresses the second.
Yes. Outdoor masonry fireplaces are common on Argyle properties and they are frequently neglected because they are outside. They still build creosote, still need a cap, and being fully exposed they weather faster than an indoor flue.
With a camera inspection rather than a sweep. Until we see the inside of the flue we do not know whether the problem is creosote, a cracked liner tile, a previous animal nest or nothing at all. The inspection tells us what the house actually needs.
