Chimney Flashing Repair in Universal City, TX
The joint where the chimney meets the roof is the most common leak point on Universal City homes. Chimney Operations replaces failed step and counter-flashing properly — cut into the mortar joint and sealed, not caulked over. That matters most with aging composition roofs where old flashing was tarred over instead of replaced.
- Step and counter-flashing replacement
- Counter-flashing cut into the mortar joint
- Crickets for wide chimneys
- Roof-line leaks stopped at the source

Flashing Failures On Universal City Roofs — Know What You Inherited
Flashing is where Universal City chimneys leak most, and locally that means aging composition roofs where old flashing was tarred over instead of replaced. Add in decades of Texas sun that has baked crowns and dried out sealants, and any gap at the roof line turns into an interior stain. In 1960s–1980s homes near Randolph AFB that change hands with every PCS cycle we routinely find tar-patched flashing and unlined or damaged flues on homes bought sight-unseen, so we cut new counter-flashing into the mortar joint instead of relying on a bead of sealant.
Most flashing leaks we repair in Universal City were never installed correctly. Surface-applied counter-flashing held on with caulk lasts a few Texas summers before the sealant cracks and shrinks away from the brick.
Heat cycling does the rest. Metal expands and contracts every day across a Bexar County summer, working the fasteners loose until water runs behind the flashing and down into the ceiling below.
Flashing work in Universal City is a one-day job on most homes around Universal City, Randolph AFB area, Live Oak and Pat Booker Road, weather permitting.
