Fireplace Repair Work for Ballast Point Homes
The fireplace repairs we make in Ballast Point carry our workmanship warranty.
Parts that belong to the same system
Factory-built fireplaces and their chimneys are tested together as one system. Chimney makers such as DuraVent state in their instructions that parts from other systems must not be mixed in, and improvised pieces fall outside the listing.
So our team does not patch a factory-built unit with look-alike parts from another brand. We fit listed components for the model, or explain your options plainly when those parts are no longer made.
Dampers in fireplaces that burn gas logs
When vented decorative gas logs sit in a wood fireplace, their installation instructions require the damper to stay open, normally with a clamp or stop that keeps the plate from closing. A damper that can swing shut in that setup is a problem to fix before the next use.
Our pros check that the stop is in place and working whenever a log set shares the firebox with a damper. Faults in the logs, burner or controls go to our gas fireplace repair service.
The steel lintel over the opening
A lintel, usually a steel angle, holds up the brick above a fireplace opening. Code section R1001.7 calls for a noncombustible lintel with at least 4 inches of bearing on each end.
Steel that rusts grows in size, and that growth can crack the joints above it, push brick out of line or let the angle sag. Brick industry guidance (BIA Technical Note 19) recommends leaving room at the lintel ends so the steel can expand with heat. Our specialists check the angle, its bearing and the brick it carries before deciding between cleaning and coating it or replacing it.
Bringing back a fireplace nobody has used
A fireplace left cold for years collects surprises, including nests and debris on the smoke shelf, a damper rusted in place, dry mortar and loose brick. Very little of that shows from the living room.
Our pros go through the firebox, damper, smoke chamber and hearth before the first fire, and arrange chimney animal removal when something has moved in. You get a written list of what is ready and what needs work.

Firebox, damper or hearth work, 10% off within 72 hours of the inspection.
