Fireplace Repair Work for Tampa Heights Homes
Same-day visits are possible when the schedule allows, and the inspection is free.
Replacing cracked or loose firebrick
Fine hairline cracks in firebrick are normal with use and are not always a problem. A brick split through, one that moves when pressed or one with a chunk missing is different, because the wall behind it loses its protection.
Our team cuts out the damaged brick, cleans the opening and sets new firebrick in refractory mortar so it sits flush with its neighbors. When too many bricks have failed, relining the back or side wall becomes the sounder repair, and you see both prices side by side.
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.
Hearth extension thickness and raised fireboxes
Thickness matters as much as size. A masonry hearth extension is normally at least 2 inches thick, and the exception in code section R1001.9.2 allows 3/8 inch of approved noncombustible material only when the firebox opening's bottom edge is raised 8 inches or more above the extension.
That matters when tile or stone is replaced over an old hearth, because a thin new surface can look finished while falling short underneath. Our pros check the build-up before recommending a new face for the hearth.
The grate and what it protects
A grate lifts the fire so air can reach it and keeps burning wood off the firebox floor. Factory-built manuals often specify the grate to use and warn against burning directly on the panels.
A grate that has sagged, burned through or been swapped for one larger than the firebox was made for puts heat where it does damage. Our pros check the grate against the fireplace and its manual, then repair the floor it has marked.
