What Goes Into a Lasting Fireplace Repair
Firebox, damper and hearth are looked at together, and nothing proceeds until you approve the plan.
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.
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.
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.
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.
