Fireplace Repair Details That Matter in Palm River-Clair Mel
Prices set up front, and every fireplace repair covered by our 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Firebrick and the mortar between it
The lining of a masonry firebox is firebrick, a dense brick made to handle direct flame. Florida's code for homes (R1001.5) wants that firebrick to conform to ASTM C27 or C1261 and to be set in medium-duty refractory mortar that meets ASTM C199, keeping each joint to a quarter inch or less.
Ordinary masonry mortar in those joints tends to crumble after a season of fires, and wide joints give heat an easy path into the wall behind. When our specialists repair a firebox, the brick and mortar match the code's materials and the joints stay tight.
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.
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.
Repair the fireplace or replace it
Many fireplaces are well worth repairing. Replacement starts to make sense when a factory-built unit has failed panels, a rusted-out firebox and discontinued parts all at once, or when a masonry firebox needs rebuilding along with its hearth and damper.
Our pros give you both routes in writing after the free inspection, with the reasons behind each. Fireplace installation is quoted separately if you decide to start fresh.
