CHIMNEY INSPECTION IN SOUTHLAKE, TX
Brown Chimney's standard Level 1 inspection is $49 across Southlake, credited toward any repair booked the same visit. A Level 2 camera run is $149 when the flue interior has to be seen rather than assumed — the standard after a chimney fire, a home sale, or a fuel change. Our crew works out of 180 State St, so most appointments land the same week.
Southlake inspections turn up Southlake problems. Homes here are largely 1990s and 2000s construction, which means factory-built fireboxes and metal chase covers as often as masonry crowns — and a dented or rusted chase cover fails differently than cracked concrete. Add Tarrant County hail, relentless UV, and clay soil that moves what sits on it, and the findings list looks nothing like a northern market's. Full scope on our chimney inspection service page.

The Work
What an inspection finds in a Southlake chimney.
The two things we find most here are storm damage and neglect from disuse. Hail dents chase covers and lifts flashing without producing a leak that week, so nobody looks. And a fireplace lit a dozen times a year gets no attention between seasons, which is exactly how a nest or a cracked panel goes unnoticed for years.
Our techs check the firebox, damper, and smoke chamber from inside, then the crown or chase cover, cap, flashing, and exterior masonry from the roof. You get a written verdict on every component with photos, and a separate line-item quote if anything needs work. If buildup turns up, a Southlake chimney cleaning clears it — and because the $49 credits toward same-visit work, the inspection pays for itself the moment anything real is found.
Our Dallas crew covers the southern metroplex, and together we handle the full Texas service area. See the local service list on the Southlake page.

When to book
When do you need a chimney inspection in Southlake?
The CSIA and NFPA 211 recommend an annual inspection for every chimney, used or not. Beyond the calendar, these are the situations that call for one now.
01
It's been more than 12 months since the last inspection
02
You're buying or selling a Southlake home
03
Hail or a severe storm has passed over the property
04
You've had a chimney fire or a lightning strike
05
You're switching fuel type — wood to gas, or gas to wood
06
Water stains on the ceiling or walls near the chimney
Real-estate transactions and post-fire situations call for a Level 2 camera inspection ($149) — the flue interior has to be documented, not assumed. Your technician confirms the right level on-site.

Half the chimneys we inspect are fine. We tell you that too — that's the point of the forty-nine dollars.

Crews who know these homes
Southlake is largely 1990s and 2000s construction — factory-built fireboxes, chase covers, stone veneer. Different work from older masonry, and we do both.
Written, photo-backed report
Every job ends with a PDF. Great for insurance, great for selling the home, great for peace of mind.
What to expect
What happens during a chimney inspection?
A standard Level 1 visit runs 45–60 minutes. Southlake appointments are usually available the same week.
01
Exterior & roof-level check
Crown, cap, flashing, and exterior masonry examined from the roof — where most water problems start and where they're cheapest to catch.
02
Firebox & damper inspection
Interior check of the firebox, damper operation, and smoke chamber. On gas units: burner, pilot, ignition, valve, and safety shutoffs tested.

03
Flue evaluation
Visual assessment of the flue from both ends per NFPA 211 Level 1. If the interior needs to be seen in full, a Level 2 camera run ($399) is offered — never assumed.
04
Written pass/fail finding
Every component gets a documented verdict with photos. No vague 'concerns' — a clear finding you can act on, file with insurance, or hand to a realtor.
05
Same-day quote, your call
If anything needs work, you get a separate line-item quote on the spot — and the $49 fee credits toward it. Nothing proceeds without your written approval.
For transparency
What this visit doesn't cover.
Repairs themselves — the inspection documents and quotes them; work starts only after your written approval
Level 2 camera run — available as a $149 add-on when the flue interior needs to be seen
Cleaning — most clients book the sweep the same visit (the $49 fee credits toward it)
FAQS
Common questions about chimney inspection in Southlake
How much does a chimney inspection cost in Southlake?
Brown Chimney's standard Level 1 inspection is $49 across Southlake, credited toward any repair booked the same visit. A Level 2 camera inspection is $149. Every level ends with a written pass/fail finding and photos.
Should I get an inspection after a hailstorm?
Yes — it is one of the most under-checked forms of storm damage in Tarrant County. Hail dents chase covers and lifts flashing without leaking immediately, so the failure is discovered weeks later when ordinary rain finds the opening.
Will the report satisfy my realtor or insurer?
Yes. Every Brown Chimney inspection produces a written pass/fail finding with photos of each component — the documentation realtors and insurance adjusters ask for. Level 2 inspections add a digital video record of the flue interior.
Do you inspect prefabricated fireplaces?
Yes, and they are common in Southlake. Factory-built systems are UL-listed assemblies with their own inspection criteria — panels, chase cover, and listed components rather than masonry and crown. The technician identifies which you have on arrival.
Do you inspect chimneys outside Southlake?
Yes. From this office we cover north DFW, and our Dallas crew handles the southern metroplex — together serving the full Texas service area.
