Fireplace Repair Details That Matter in Town 'n' Country
The fireplace repairs we make in Town 'n' Country carry our workmanship warranty.
Refractory panels in factory-built fireplaces
Factory-built fireplaces are lined with molded refractory panels in place of brick. Fine surface cracks can be normal, and each maker sets out in its manual how wide a crack may get, or how much material may be missing, before a panel has to be replaced.
Our specialists compare your panels with the manual for your model instead of a rule of thumb. Replacement panels come from the maker's parts list for that unit, and they are fitted the way the manual shows.
The smoke chamber above the damper
Above the damper, the fireplace narrows into the smoke chamber, which funnels smoke into the flue. Code section R1001.8 calls for its inside surface to be parged smooth with refractory mortar.
Some chambers were left as stepped brick, and rough steps slow the smoke and hold soot. Parging that has cracked or fallen away drops onto the damper and grate. Our pros look at the chamber on every fireplace repair visit and quote any resurfacing it needs as its own line.
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.
Electric fireplaces are a different repair
Nothing burns in an electric fireplace, so what fails is electrical or mechanical, from heaters and fans to flame effects, controls and cords. Makers such as Dimplex tell owners to plug the unit straight into a wall outlet and never into an extension cord.
Our electric fireplace repair service handles those units separately from wood-burning work. New wiring or a new circuit is a job for an electrician, and the estimate says so.
