Chimney Inspection in Boerne, TX

What We Inspect On Boerne Chimneys — Hill Country Limestone

An inspection in Boerne is mostly about native limestone and stone veneer, which is far more porous than city brick. With wind-driven rain off the western hills that hits a chimney sideways, the findings we document here repeat: undersized chase covers on tall new-build stacks that pond water within a few seasons. Roof access matters too, since we are working on standing-seam metal and tall decorative chase stacks, so we plan the inspection around getting a real look at the top of the stack, not a guess from the driveway.

Cracked crowns, rusted chase covers and separated flashing are the three issues we document most often on Boerne chimneys. All three let water in quietly for years before a ceiling stain finally appears.

On older Kendall County homes we also scan the flue with a camera for cracked clay tiles and gaps in the liner. That matters most before a home sale or after a chimney fire, when you need documented proof of condition.

We inspect across Downtown Boerne, Cordillera Ranch, Esperanza and Menger Springs, and if the report turns up repairs, you get the findings in writing so you can decide without pressure — useful when a Boerne home is changing hands.
