What Goes Into a Lasting Fireplace Repair
Approve a fireplace repair within 72 hours of the free inspection and it is 10% off. Here is what our specialists look at and fix.
Dampers in fireplaces that burn gas logs
When vented decorative gas logs sit in a wood fireplace, their installation instructions require the damper to stay open, normally with a clamp or stop that keeps the plate from closing. A damper that can swing shut in that setup is a problem to fix before the next use.
Our pros check that the stop is in place and working whenever a log set shares the firebox with a damper. Faults in the logs, burner or controls go to our gas fireplace repair service.
How far the hearth has to reach
The hearth extension protects the floor in front of and beside the opening. Code section R1001.10 calls for 16 inches of it ahead of the opening and 8 inches to each side; when the opening is 6 square feet or larger, make that 20 inches ahead and 12 inches per side.
Hearths are sometimes trimmed back during flooring projects, and some were built short in the first place. Our specialists measure yours during the free inspection and explain how a shortfall can be corrected with noncombustible material.
Hearths for factory-built fireplaces
Factory-built fireplaces have their own rules for the floor in front of them. Code section R1004.2 calls for the hearth extension to follow the fireplace's listing and to be easy to tell apart from the surrounding floor, and listed hearth extensions are tested to UL 1618.
Carpet or wood flooring laid right up to the unit during a remodel deserves a second look. Our specialists check the manual for your model and restore the hearth protection it specifies.
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.
