Fireplace Repair
Getting Your Fireplace Back in Service
Firebox, damper and hearth are looked at together, and nothing proceeds until you approve the plan.
Masonry fireplace or factory-built unit
Two very different things hide behind the word fireplace. A masonry fireplace is built on site from brick, block or stone, with a firebox lined in firebrick. A factory-built fireplace is a listed metal unit, tested to UL 127, that arrives as a system and has to be kept to its listing, as section R1004.1 of the Florida residential code requires.
That difference decides every repair that follows. Masonry takes refractory mortar and firebrick, while a factory-built unit takes the parts its maker lists. Our pros confirm which one you have before anything is ordered.
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.
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.
Smoke and CO alarms near the fireplace
Any fuel-burning fireplace belongs in a home with working alarms. The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission recommends battery or battery-backup carbon monoxide alarms on every level of the home and outside sleeping areas.
If an alarm ever sounds, get everyone outside and call 911 before anything else. Fireplace repairs themselves aim to keep smoke moving up and out, and our pros are glad to point out spots where an alarm would help.

Decide within 72 hours of the inspection and the fireplace repair is 10% off.
