Chimney Cleaning & Sweep in North Richland Hills - One Flat Price, You See What We See

Chimney Cleaning in North Richland Hills, TX

Chimney cap and crown work in North Richland Hills typically runs $850-$2,400 depending on whether we’re sealing a hairline crack or pouring a new crown and capping multiple flues. Most of the brick ranch homes here were built between 1965 and 1990 with original crowns that have never been touched, and the heavy clay soils beneath them keep everything in constant slow motion. We’re Level Two Chimney Co., and we inspect every crown with a camera down the flue before quoting a written price. Call (682) 499-2712 for a free estimate.

Why North Richland Hills Homes Are Different

North Richland Hills sits on some of the most aggressive shrink-swell clay in Tarrant County. The soil heaves in wet seasons and contracts in drought, pulling chimney crowns apart and opening mortar joints that sandier-soil communities to the north rarely see. We’ve found crowns cracked clean through in neighborhoods like Holiday Hills and Richland Hills Estates, with the damage caused not by freeze-thaw but by this year-round foundation movement.

The housing stock compounds the problem. Most homes here are 40-60 years old, built with clay flue tiles and poured concrete crowns that were never designed to flex. Fireplaces see only occasional use during brief cold snaps, so creosote builds up and crowns deteriorate without anyone noticing until a hard freeze sends smoke into the living room. After the February 2021 storm, we were called to dozens of North Richland Hills homes where dormant fireplaces revealed blocked flues and cracked crowns that had been worsening for years.

Chimney Cap & Crown in North Richland Hills

Chimney cap and crown work is the most common repair we perform in North Richland Hills because the 40-60 year old housing stock and expansive clay soils destroy crowns faster than almost anywhere in the metroplex. Most original crowns were poured without expansion joints or reinforcing mesh, so when the slab beneath shifts, the crown cracks and water enters the flue system. Chimney Cap & Crown jobs here range from simple cap installs to full crown replacements with multi-flue protection.

Crown Repair

Signs you need it

Visible cracks wider than a credit card edge, water staining on interior firebox walls, or pieces of concrete spalling off the crown surface.

What it costs in North Richland Hills

Crown repair in North Richland Hills typically runs $850-$1,400 for crack sealing and resurfacing, or $1,800-$2,400 for a full crown pour with proper slope and drip edge.

How we do it

We grind out cracks to sound concrete, apply a bonding agent, and pour a new crown with expansion joints and a minimum 2-inch overhang using materials from HeatShield or Gelco.

Cap Installation

Signs you need it

Rust stains running down the brick from a deteriorated factory-built cap, or evidence of squirrels, raccoons, or birds entering the flue.

What it costs in North Richland Hills

Single-flue cap installation in North Richland Hills ranges $350-$650 installed; multi-flue caps run $650-$1,200 depending on mesh size and material.

How we do it

We measure the flue or crown footprint, fabricate or source a stainless steel or copper cap with 5/8-inch spark arrestor mesh, and secure it with masonry anchors or a skirt that wraps the crown edge.

What Chimney Cap & Crown Costs in North Richland Hills

Can a cracked crown wait until next year?

A hairline crack can be sealed, but a crown cracked through to the flue allows water into the masonry system and accelerates freeze-thaw damage to the chimney stack. We document the crack depth with camera footage so you can see whether the repair is urgent or can be scheduled. Call (682) 499-2712 for a free inspection.

Why does my new cap still let water in?

The cap may be undersized, improperly flashed, or the crown beneath it may be pitched wrong so water pools behind the cap skirt. We check crown slope and cap overhang as part of every install. Call (682) 499-2712 for a free inspection.

Chimney Liner & Rebuild in North Richland Hills

Chimney liner and rebuild work in North Richland Hills is almost always tied to the original clay flue tiles installed in the 1960s-1980s housing stock, which crack from thermal shock and foundation movement. Once a clay tile liner fails, combustion gases can leak into wall cavities, and creosote can accumulate in gaps between the tile and masonry. Chimney Liner & Rebuild jobs here range from flexible stainless inserts to partial or full rebuilds when the structure is compromised.

Stainless Steel Liner

Signs you need it

Flue tiles with visible cracks or missing chunks on camera inspection, or a home inspection report flagging a damaged liner before sale.

What it costs in North Richland Hills

Stainless steel liner installation in North Richland Hills typically runs $2,800-$4,500 for a single flue with a lifetime warranty.

How we do it

We measure the flue with a video scan, drop a DuraFlex 316Ti stainless liner with proper top and bottom connections, and insulate according to manufacturer specs for zero-clearance performance.

Partial Rebuild

Signs you need it

Multiple courses of spalling brick above the roofline, a leaning chimney stack, or a crown that has separated entirely from the top courses.

What it costs in North Richland Hills

Partial chimney rebuild in North Richland Hills ranges $3,500-$6,500 depending on height and whether the firebox and smoke chamber can be preserved.

How we do it

We dismantle to sound masonry, install temporary bracing if needed, rebuild with matching brick and proper bond, and pour a new crowned with expansion joints to accommodate soil movement.

What Chimney Liner & Rebuild Costs in North Richland Hills

Do I really need a new liner, or can you patch the clay tiles?

Clay tiles cannot be reliably patched; a cracked tile will crack again at the repair point due to thermal expansion. A stainless liner is the standard repair and carries a lifetime warranty. Call (682) 499-2712 for a camera inspection and written quote.

How long does a liner installation take?

Most single-flue stainless liner installs in North Richland Hills are completed in one day; rebuilds require 2-3 days depending on weather and masonry curing. We confirm the schedule in writing before starting. Call (682) 499-2712 to book.
