Fireplace Restoration Work for Bloomingdale Homes
Here is how our local pros clean, repoint and rebuild a neglected fireplace.
When the firebox walls need rebuilding
Behind the lining, the code wants 8 inches of solid masonry in the back and side walls, and that 8 inches counts a firebrick lining 2 or more inches thick. Heat that has worked through a failed lining for years can damage that masonry too.
Our specialists check the wall behind the old lining once it is out. If the masonry itself has failed, rebuilding it becomes a separate line in the estimate, explained before the work goes further.
A top-sealing damper for a restored fireplace
When the old throat damper cannot be saved, a top-sealing damper is often the practical alternative. It sits at the top of the flue and closes against a gasket, controlled by a cable that runs down into the firebox.
Our pros price both routes, a new throat damper and a top-sealing damper, so you can compare them. Either way the damper is installed to its maker's instructions and checked for full travel.
Restoring a cracked hearth
A masonry hearth has to rest on noncombustible support that carries its weight, under code section R1001.9. Cracks and settling on an older hearth can be surface wear or a sign that the support below has moved.
Our pros check which one it is before quoting. Surface repairs restore the look with matching brick, stone or tile, while a hearth with failed support is rebuilt on a sound base and finished to match the original.
Older homes and special requirements
Age alone does not make a fireplace historic, and it does not decide how the work should be done. If your home carries a local designation, or you have records of original materials, share them before the plan is drawn up.
Documents like these can affect what may be replaced and which materials are used. Where a conservation adviser is involved, our pros agree the sequence with them before any original material is changed.
