Fireplace Repair
The Parts of Your Fireplace We Repair
Firebox, damper and hearth are looked at together, and nothing proceeds until you approve the plan.
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.
Hearth cracks and settling
A masonry hearth has to carry its own weight on noncombustible support, and code section R1001.9 adds that no combustible material may stay against its underside after construction. Cracks across the hearth, tiles that lift or a hearth that has dropped away from the firebox can point to trouble underneath.
Our pros check whether the damage is in the surface or in the support below. Surface repairs are priced as surface repairs. When the support has failed, the hearth has to be rebuilt on a sound base, and you see that option in writing first.
Cleaning first, then the repair
Soot and residue can hide cracks in firebrick, rust on the damper and gaps in the smoke chamber. On some visits the fireplace needs cleaning before the repair can be judged properly.
Cleaning and repair are separate jobs with separate prices, and our pros tell you which comes first. A chimney sweep does not mend broken parts, and fresh mortar bonds poorly over heavy buildup, so the order matters.
After the work is finished
When the repair is done, our pros walk you through what changed, how the damper works now and any curing steps for new mortar. You also learn what to watch for, such as fresh cracks, a sticking handle or smoke at the face, and when a follow-up visit makes sense.
Our workmanship warranty covers the work, and the 100% satisfaction guarantee stands behind it. If something is not right, one phone call brings us back to put it right.
