Most Poteet chimney calls trace back to the place itself: clay soil heaving the chimney a fraction at a time, rain driving in through a cracked crown, or wasps nesting in a flue that sat unused all summer. We show you what we found and fix it properly.

Inspection & Care
Chimney Inspection
A full inspection of flue, liner, cap, crown, flashing and firebox — camera inside the flue, with a plain-language report of what is safe, what is not, and what can wait. In Atascosa County, the check covers crown, flashing and damper as well as the liner, because heavy rain uses every fault the camera finds up top. That local standard is what chimney inspection in Poteet, TX means with Chimney Service Co.

Install & Replace
Chimney Cap Installation
A quality stainless cap keeps rain, birds and sparks where they belong. Fitted to your flue, secured properly, and screened against animals. Sizing matters here: too tight chokes the draft on a still night, too loose lifts in the first storm, so the fit is checked from the roof, not guessed.

A chimney in Poteet is not fighting a long winter - it is fighting clay soil that shifts under the masonry, heavy rain looking for a way in, storm damage up top, and long idle months in between. This is what we actually find, and what we check on every visit.
Much of Texas sits on clay soil that swells when wet and shrinks when dry, so foundations and chimneys move a fraction at a time, season after season. Masonry cannot flex, so the movement opens mortar joints, cracks crowns, and can leave a chimney leaning. We check joints and alignment on every inspection.
A flue that sits unused for months in Poteet is prime shelter: wasps and mud daubers build in the warm, protected chimney, and birds nest on the smoke shelf. Nesting blocks the draft, and lighting a fire under it pushes smoke and carbon monoxide into the room. A screened cap ends the cycle.
A Poteet chimney can sit untouched from spring through fall, collecting dust, debris, nesting and moisture the whole time. Then the first cold front arrives and the fireplace gets lit with no check at all. A fall sweep and inspection catch what the idle months left behind, before that first fire does.
Long, hot summers bake chimney crowns, dry out sealants, and age cap metal across Poteet, while sudden downpours test every crack the heat opened. Crowns that looked sound in spring can be split by fall. We check the crown, cap and flashing together, because heat and rain work on all three.

At least once a year if you burn at all regularly. Short, cool evening fires lay down glazed creosote faster than hot fires do, and an idle flue collects nests and debris all summer. The annual sweep clears the buildup and blockages, and checks the cap, crown and liner as well.
Do not light a fire, and do not spray into the flue yourself. Wasps and mud daubers nest in idle Poteet flues, and the nesting blocks the draft, so a fire would push smoke and carbon monoxide into the room. We clear the flue safely, check the liner for damage, and fit a screened cap so it cannot happen again.
Most often a damaged or missing cap, a cracked crown, or failed flashing where the chimney meets the roof. Heavy Texas rain tests all three at once, and heat-cracked crowns give it an easy path. We trace the entry point from the top down and repair the actual source, not just the stain inside.
Get it inspected promptly. A lean usually means the soil under one side moved more than the other, and the same movement is cracking mortar and opening the joint where the chimney meets the house. Early movement can often be stabilized with joint and flashing repair; a lean left for years becomes a rebuild.
Creosote and soot deposits absorb moisture and dust while a flue sits idle, and warm air brings the sour, campfire smell down into the room. The smell often means the cap or crown is also letting water in. A cleaning removes the deposits, and an inspection finds where any moisture is entering the system.
No — and be wary of anyone who does. Every chimney fails differently, so a phone price is a guess that changes at your door. Our estimates are free: a tech looks at the actual problem, then gives you one clear price before any work starts.
