Your chimney keeps the fire contained. We keep the chimney sound.
Elite Flue Chimney Repair handles inspections, sweeping, masonry repair, and full flue relining for homes across Pasadena, Texas — with a technician on call around the clock for chimney emergencies.
Chimney care isn't optional — it's fire safety
A chimney does one job: carry combustion byproducts safely out of your home. When mortar joints crack, liners deteriorate, or creosote builds up unchecked, that job gets harder, and the risks move from cosmetic to dangerous.
Creosote & chimney fires
Unburned wood byproducts coat the flue as creosote. Left alone, it's flammable, and it's one of the leading causes of residential chimney fires.
Structural deterioration
Cracked crowns and spalling brick let water into the masonry. Freeze-thaw cycles and Gulf Coast humidity accelerate the damage from there.
Carbon monoxide risk
A damaged liner or blocked flue can push combustion gases back into living spaces instead of outside, which is a health hazard, not just a maintenance issue.
Chimney and flue services, start to finish
From a routine sweep to a full rebuild, we work on wood-burning, gas, and factory-built chimney systems.
Chimney inspection
A level-appropriate inspection of the flue, firebox, crown, and exterior masonry before you light the first fire of the season — or before you buy a home.

See how it works ›Signs your chimney needs a closer look
Most chimney failures don't happen overnight. They show up first as small, visible warning signs. If any of these sound familiar, it's worth having a technician take a look before the next fire.
Schedule an inspection- 01White, chalky staining (efflorescence) on the exterior brick, a sign moisture is moving through the masonry.
- 02Crumbling mortar joints or bricks that flake and spall, especially near the crown.
- 03A smoky smell in the house even when there's no fire burning.
- 04Rust on the damper or firebox, which usually points to excess moisture inside the flue.
- 05Visible cracks in the chimney crown, or a cap that's missing, bent, or rusted through.
- 06Debris, soot, or noticeable buildup falling into the firebox.

Chimney repair, answered
How often should a chimney be inspected?
Most fireplace and chimney authorities recommend at least one inspection a year for any chimney in regular use — even if it seems to be drawing fine. Annual checks catch small mortar cracks or liner issues before they turn into costly, or unsafe, repairs.
Do you work on gas fireplaces and factory-built chimneys, or only wood-burning masonry chimneys?
Both. Factory-built and gas venting systems have their own inspection points and failure modes, and we service both those and traditional masonry chimneys.
Is it normal for a chimney to leak?
No — a chimney should be watertight. Leaks usually trace back to a cracked crown, missing cap, deteriorated flashing, or porous brick that's absorbing water. Left unaddressed, water intrusion is one of the fastest ways to shorten a chimney's lifespan.
What happens during an emergency call?
We talk through what's happening over the phone, get a technician dispatched, and stabilize the immediate safety issue first — for example, sealing an active leak or confirming a flue is safe to use before doing full repairs.
