Chimney Inspection in Cibolo, TX

What We Inspect On Cibolo Chimneys — Newer Homes, First Maintenance Cycle

An inspection in Cibolo is mostly about prefabricated fireplaces with metal chases and thin brick skirting. With flat-land storms that dump water straight onto the chase top, the findings we document here repeat: original builder-grade galvanized chase covers rusting through at roughly the fifteen-year mark. Roof access matters too, since we are working on simple gable composition roofs with factory chase covers, 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 Cibolo chimneys. All three let water in quietly for years before a ceiling stain finally appears.

On older Guadalupe 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 Bentwood Ranch, Cibolo Valley Ranch, Falcon Ridge and Steele Creek, and if the report turns up repairs, you get the findings in writing so you can decide without pressure — useful when a Cibolo home is changing hands.
