CHIMNEY FLASHING & LEAK REPAIR IN SOUTHLAKE, TX
Flashing is the metal seal where the chimney passes through the roof, and it is one of the most common leak points on Southlake houses. Two things here make it worse than average. The first is hail: Tarrant County sits in the middle of hail country, and a storm that dents and lifts flashing rarely leaks that week — it opens a path the next round of wind-driven rain will use.
The second is roof geometry. Southlake's custom homes carry complicated rooflines with multiple planes, valleys, and dormers, and chimneys frequently land in awkward positions relative to all of it. Wide stacks in particular need a cricket by code — anything over 30 inches at the roofline — and plenty were built without one. Brown Chimney repairs flashing in aluminum or lead-coated copper only, priced by scope and access — every option is on our flashing repair pricing page. Full method on our flashing and leak repair service page.

The Work
What flashing repair does for a Southlake home.
The stain on your ceiling is rarely under the hole. Water enters at the flashing, runs along the roof deck or down the outside of the flue, and surfaces wherever gravity and framing let it. On a large home with a complex roof, that path can be surprisingly long — which is why diagnosis comes before sealant.
The Southlake pattern is a leak that appears weeks after a hail event rather than during it. The storm lifts or dents the metal without producing water inside, the owner concludes the roof came through fine, and the actual leak arrives with an ordinary rain a month later. If you have had hail, the flashing is worth looking at whether or not anything came through the ceiling. Where the crown or chase cover is also involved, that repair is quoted alongside.
Our Dallas crew covers the southern metroplex, and together we handle the Dallas–Fort Worth service area. See the local service list on the Southlake page.
When to book
What are the signs your chimney flashing has failed?
Flashing failure shows up inside long before anyone looks at the roof — and here it often shows up weeks after the storm that caused it.
Water stains on the ceiling or wall near the chimney
Damp or discoloured framing visible in the attic around the chimney
Shingles lifting, curling, or missing where the chimney meets the roof
Rusted, bent, or visibly separated metal at the roofline
Sealant that has hardened, cracked, or pulled away from the masonry
Leaks that appear only during driving rain from one direction
If water is showing inside, the entry point needs finding before anything gets sealed. An inspection traces it and gives you a repair quote, and the fee is credited toward repair work booked within 30 days.

The stain on your ceiling is almost never under the hole. Anyone who quotes a leak repair from the driveway is selling you sealant, not a solution.
Brown Chimney
The Brown Chimney Standard · Southlake
Built for hail, heat, and shifting clay.
Tarrant County hail country
Hail dents flashing and chase covers without leaking that day — the failure shows up weeks later. We check after every major storm season.
Clay soil moves what sits on it
North Texas clay swells and shrinks with the seasons, and a heavy chimney on top of it moves too. We establish whether it has settled before rebuilding anything.
1-year workmanship warranty
The labor on our repairs and installations is covered for a full year — in writing, not in promises.
Price fixed before we start
Measured on site, quoted in writing, approved by you — then the work begins. Never the other way around.
What to expect
What happens during a leak repair?
Leak work in Southlake is diagnosed first, quoted second. Most flashing repairs complete in a single visit; jobs needing a cricket or complex roof work are scoped during the assessment.
01
Leak source diagnosis
Water stains rarely start where they show. We trace the actual entry point — flashing, crown, cap, or masonry — before quoting anything, because sealing the wrong spot solves nothing.

02
Written quote before the roof is opened
You approve the exact price before anything is lifted. Chimneys wider than 30 inches at the roofline need a cricket by code — if yours does, that's identified and priced up front.
03
Old flashing removal
Failed flashing and hardened sealant come off down to sound roof deck. Any pre-existing shingle damage is documented and quoted separately rather than quietly absorbed.
04
New flashing installation
Step, counter, and saddle flashing set in aluminum or lead-coated copper — never plastic, never rubber — and sealed with chimney-rated elastomeric caulk.
05
Roof restored, photos taken
The roof area around the chimney base is restored, the work photographed before and after, and the labor covered by the 1-year workmanship warranty.
For transparency
What this visit doesn't cover.
Pre-existing shingle or roof deck damage — documented in photos and quoted separately
Full roof replacement or hail claims beyond the chimney area, which are a roofer's scope
Interior water damage from previous leaks (drywall, paint, insulation)
FAQS
Common questions about flashing & leak repair in Southlake
How is chimney flashing repair priced in Southlake?
By scope, roof pitch, and access — from resealing seams to full replacement. Chimneys requiring a cricket, or those needing lift access, are identified during the assessment and priced up front. Every option and its price is on our flashing repair pricing page.
Can hail damage chimney flashing?
Regularly, and it is one of the most under-checked forms of storm damage in Tarrant County. Hail dents and lifts the metal without necessarily leaking immediately, so the failure surfaces weeks later when ordinary rain finds the opening.
What material should chimney flashing be?
Aluminum or lead-coated copper — Brown Chimney installs nothing else. Plastic and rubber degrade quickly under Texas UV and fail years sooner, which is why they are excluded regardless of cost.
Does my Southlake chimney need a cricket?
If it is wider than 30 inches at the roofline, code says yes. Wide stacks on complex custom rooflines are common here and plenty were built without one, which leaves water pooling against the upslope side every storm.
Can I just caulk the flashing myself?
Caulk on failed flashing buys a season at most, and Texas sun shortens even that. Proper repair means removing failed flashing down to sound roof deck and setting new step and counter-flashing. Caulk is the finish, not the fix.
