Fireplace Repair
Getting Your Fireplace Back in Service
Fireplace repair in Gibsonton starts with a free inspection and a written price.
The smoke chamber above the damper
Above the damper, the fireplace narrows into the smoke chamber, which funnels smoke into the flue. Code section R1001.8 calls for its inside surface to be parged smooth with refractory mortar.
Some chambers were left as stepped brick, and rough steps slow the smoke and hold soot. Parging that has cracked or fallen away drops onto the damper and grate. Our pros look at the chamber on every fireplace repair visit and quote any resurfacing it needs as its own line.
When the opening and the flue are out of step
A fireplace draws best when the passage above the firebox, through the throat, damper and smoke chamber, is at least as large as the flue, as code section R1001.6 requires, and when the flue is sized to the opening under R1003.15.
A fireplace that has been altered, with a larger opening, a new firebox or a different damper, can end up out of proportion and smoke at the face. Our specialists measure the opening and the flue and explain whether a repair, a smoke guard or a change to the firebox will help.
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.
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.
