In Corsicana, the chimney is not an afterthought — it is a survivor. This is the town where the Texas oil boom was born, and its streets are lined with early-1900s homes whose masonry chimneys have anchored the same rooflines for more than a century. On the historic avenues near downtown, on the graceful porches of Craftsman bungalows and stately brick foursquares, and on the working ranch houses scattered across Navarro County, the chimney remains the crown jewel of the home. At Texan Flue, we treat these landmarks with the reverence they have earned.
Age, however, brings its own quiet demands. Corsicana's older chimneys were built with soft, hand-fired brick and lime mortar that a hundred North Texas seasons have slowly tested. Winter freeze-thaw cycles work into every hairline crack, expanding water until crowns spall and joints loosen. Spring hailstorms hammer clay tiles, chase covers, and caps. And the region's expansive clay soil shifts underfoot with each wet-and-dry swing, tilting foundations and opening flue liners in ways a homeowner rarely sees from the ground.
That combination — historic masonry, hard weather, and restless soil — is exactly why an early-1900s chimney deserves an expert eye rather than a quick glance. We bring camera-documented precision and a genuine respect for period craftsmanship to every Corsicana address, restoring these chimneys so they can crown their homes for another generation.
We work on your schedule, not ours. Whether you need same-day attention before a cold front rolls in or a scheduled appointment that fits a quiet weekday, we arrive on time and ready to work — and we proudly serve the greater Navarro County area, from downtown Corsicana to the rural roads well beyond it.
Every job begins with an exact, written quote. Before a single tool comes out, you will know the full scope and the full price in writing — no vague ranges, no surprises added at the end, no pressure. On historic homes especially, that clarity lets you plan restoration work with complete confidence.
We document our work with the camera, not just our word. You will see the condition of your flue, crown, and liner on screen before we begin and again after we finish, so the value of the work is never in question. For a century-old chimney, that visual record is a genuine record of care.
And we protect your home the way we would protect a treasure. Drop cloths, shoe covers, and meticulous cleanup are standard on every visit — white-glove protection for both the modern living room and the original heart-pine floors of a 1910 home. When we leave, the only trace is a chimney that works beautifully.
Pricing is refreshingly straightforward. Sweeps run $99–$199 depending on flue size and buildup, and the camera inspection is a flat $49. You receive an exact written quote before any work begins, so you always know the full cost in advance — no hidden fees and no pressure, whether your home is a downtown historic property or a ranch house out in the county.
Absolutely — it is some of our most rewarding work. Many of Corsicana's early-1900s chimneys have deteriorated clay liners, spalled brick, and failing crowns after a century of freeze-thaw and clay-soil movement. We can repoint original masonry, rebuild crowns, and install a new stainless or cast-in-place liner that makes the chimney safe and functional again, all while preserving the period character that makes these homes special.
In this area it is almost always the crown, the flashing, or an unprotected flue. Hail cracks crowns and dents chase covers, freeze-thaw widens those cracks, and shifting clay soil opens gaps around the flashing. Our $49 camera inspection pinpoints exactly where water is entering, and our waterproofing and crown repair stop it before it reaches your ceilings and framing.
