Fireplace Repair
Getting Your Fireplace Back in Service
Fireplace repair in Cheval starts with a free inspection and a written price.
What sits behind the firebox lining
Firebrick is only the face of the firebox. Code section R1001.5 wants the back and side walls built of 8 inches of solid masonry when that total includes a firebrick lining 2 or more inches thick, and 10 inches of solid masonry when there is no lining.
That depth is what keeps the heat of a fire away from the framing of the house. A coat of patching compound spread over missing brick does not rebuild it, which is why our pros repair the wall itself with brick and refractory mortar once the lining has worn through.
Why a fireplace smokes at the face
Smoke at the front of the fireplace has a short list of usual causes. The damper may be partly closed, the flue may still be cold, fans may be pulling air out of the house, the wood may be damp, or the fireplace and flue may be out of proportion.
Our pros work through that list in order during the visit, with the house set up the way you normally use it. The repair that follows targets the cause they find, so you are not paying for guesses.
A yearly look at the whole fireplace
Under NFPA 211, chimneys, fireplaces and vents should be inspected every year to confirm they are sound, free of deposits and at the right clearances. The U.S. Fire Administration gives homeowners the same advice.
A yearly visit catches a loose brick, a sticky damper or a cracked panel before it turns into a bigger repair. Our family-owned company offers that inspection free, with any repair priced separately.
If your fireplace burns gas
Gas fireplaces and gas log sets have their own controls, valves and venting, and they are repaired from the maker's service instructions. An unvented gas log heater may go in a factory-built fireplace only when that fireplace is listed for it, under code section R1004.4.
If you ever smell gas, leave the house first and call 911 or the gas utility from outside. For everything else, faults in the pilot, burner or ignition go to our gas fireplace repair service, and the make and model help us bring the right parts.
On any service we offer
Decide within 72 hours of the inspection and the fireplace repair is 10% off.
