Chimney Cricket Installation in Austin, TX

When Austin homeowners need chimney cricket installation, speed and honesty win. We respond fast, explain exactly what your chimney needs, and leave the work area spotless.

A chimney cricket is a small peaked saddle built on the high side of your chimney that splits rainwater and snowmelt and sends it around the masonry instead of letting it pool behind it. Wide chimneys on sloped roofs collect a surprising amount of runoff, and without a cricket that water sits against the brick until it finds a way inside. Quick Chimney builds and flashes crickets that move water where it belongs, available nationwide.
