Arlington sits right at the heart of the Metroplex, a city of stadiums and neighborhoods where much of the housing stock dates to the great ranch-home boom of the 1960s through the 1980s. Those solid brick homes have aged gracefully — but the chimneys standing over them are now carrying original crowns, dampers, and liners that were never meant to last half a century.
Time has caught up with them. Dampers seize or rust away, mortar crowns crack straight through, and clay liners spall from decades of expansion and contraction. Most Arlington owners have no idea until smoke backs up or water stains bloom on the ceiling.
Texan Flue brings clarity with a camera. Before any repair conversation, we show you your flue on screen — the real condition of aging masonry that has served your home for fifty years.
When you call from Arlington, 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 Arlington.
It is the most common story we hear here, and the most important to address. A chimney untouched for decades almost always has a failing crown, a corroded damper, or a cracked liner. Our $49 camera inspection gives you a full, honest assessment — often the first real look that chimney has ever had.
Both are common outcomes on Arlington's original 1960s-80s dampers. Decades of heat and moisture either seize them shut or rust them through. We assess it during your inspection and, depending on condition, either free and service the existing damper or install a modern top-mount unit that seals far better and lasts.
Yes — and here is why. Even an unused Arlington chimney deteriorates from the top down as weather attacks the crown and cap, and animals nest in open flues. A $99 to $199 sweep with our camera inspection confirms the flue is clear and the structure sound, whether you burn ten fires a year or none.
